I'd be biased to say Barbados but.. tongue.gif it's true! hehehe.

I personally LOVE Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, the Cayman Islands and Trinidad. smile.gif They're all so unique and fun in their own way. St. Lucia, Grenada and BVI and USVI are all nice too. Not too fond of Jamaica nor the Bahamas though.. very touristy sad.gif

I've never been to Jamaica, but I don't think the Bahamas is THAT touristy. It depends on what part of the island you are on, definitely.

I spent a year living in Nassau not far from the bridge into Paradise Island, so maybe I am slightly biased there.. tongue.gif But New Providence is definitely touristy, I know they're having a lot of local issues with foreign investors privatising the entire island with locals seeing almost no returns..

Really? Paradise Island I thought was terrible, but Nassau was pretty good.

What were you doing in Nassau?

My mom got a job relocation there so I went with her. (: It was about 10 years ago though so I wasn't very old.. Definitely not old enough for independent travel, anyway.

Paradise Island sucks unless you have access to the Atlantis Resort, but when you do it's really quite fun. Hotel with 6 water slides, private beaches and an aquarium, not bad! Just shows how much privatisation exists though..
