I'd vote for Grande Bay or Lavender Hill. Both have pools, private bedrooms, and easy access to town and Cruz Bay Beach which allows some quick and easy access beach time without the big production.

RickG - 39th???!!! You're practically a resident

36 more days for me, but a few trip reports will help to get me through this!

Just extended our trip to 13 days!

Wonderful as always. I love the fact that you travel with your family and everything is simpatico. If considering a change in profession, you could do snorkeling tours for those of us who have never seen an octopus

Beautiful photos and a wonderful report. Traveling with your kids (especially those old enough to escape the obligatory family vacation) is a gift. I liked the photo of beer right after the post about breakfast

Does anyone have any suggestions for New Year's Eve with a 17, 15 and 12 year old? … wondering if there are parties at the hotels or something to do as a family? Thanks!

Has anyone had the cabana massage at Caneel Bay? If so, was it on Canee'ls Hawksnest Beach or another spot? Thanks!

Has anyone been to La Plancha del Mar lately? It's been on my list, but I've never been and I haven't heard much about it lately. Any must have favorites for a 4 night trip next week? We've planned on sushi at Caneel one night, possibly Zozo's, La Tapa, looking for another one or two of your favorit...

Marybeth - Me too! Favorite band ever. I saw them twice at the Wang Center in Boston a few years ago. If it's true that one of the "Dans" will be there, I'm going to be very sad, because I'll miss them by 2 days. :cry: On the other hand, 6 days until Caneel Bay could cheer me up. :D http:/...
