Overall, our favorite island! The water was a little rougher than St. Thomas but it was so beautiful! We had a lot of fun here! There are so many places to shop and eat. The only thing i regret is that we didn't have more time on the island! I would have loved to explore the French side of the island as well. We will definately go back to this island for an extended vacation.

Okay, I hate to give this tip because it will be like letting the cat out of the bag. Here goes: Rent a jeep for a nominal fee and drive to Cul de Sac. A ferry will take you to Pinel Island where for a small fee you can rent chairs & umbrella & enjoy your day on a remote private island. There is even a great outdoor restaurant and boutique! We spent 4 hours there and it felt like one!

This is our favorite port. However will never be on a cruise on Good Friday again. It is a major holiday in the caribbean. EVERYTHING is closed. Beautiful island.
