Would return to the larger islands in the Bahamas only if it were free and there was a bag of money on the hotel room bed.<BR>Would return to any of the other islands I've been to (25 - 30) but some for not more than a few days...<BR>

Wouln't go back to St. Lucia. Twice was plenty. Too many beggars in the south, too expensive overall, not enough good restaurtants, and not enough nice beaches.

Would return to Virgin Gorda & Tortola. They were both gorgeous. Laid back, not overpopulated. I visited both by private boat and would do that again in a heartbeat. I would not return to Jamaica or a sandals resort. I stayed at a sandals in Jamaica and felt like I was locked up there. The food was not very good.

I would return, and already have returned, to Grand Cayman. <BR><BR>Aruba maybe, but the flights are a little too long.<BR><BR>St Lucia, I might return, but we stayed at Club St Lucia, which was below average at best. Beautiful Island, but that resort was weak. I've since read about many much nicer resorts to stay at.<BR><BR>St Kitts - would definitely return, but again, at a different resort. We stayed at Jack Tar, which was a mistake. This was our first caribbean experience, and we didn't know any better, thus simply picking the wrong resort. I'm sure there were much nicer places to stay.

Never return to: Dominican Republic, only if I missed being harassed on the beach every half hour to go parasailing. The vendors on the beach were nagging. The water was not nice. Perhaps it was the resort which had been sold the week I was there or the location of the resort itself.<BR><BR>Been to Provo, TCI twice and plan on returning many times over.

I've only been to one island: New Providence (Nassau); poor place, it's gotten so beaten down here. <BR><BR>I would definitely return as I found a charming inn that I love which offers a great beach, peace and relaxation at a reasonable price. I found the water gorgeous and enjoyed the Bahamian food and people. I must say though I might not want to go back either if I only saw Cable Beach or visited via cruise ship.
