jamaica or ???
Hi,
I've done jamaica 3 times... twice to AIs and once I rented a villa... both were nice. but... I'd like to go more low key... the villa while peaceful was part of a large complex. anybody got any suggestions for something even less organized? |

Great diving/snorkeling/windsurfing if you want to, but also plenty of relaxation if you want that. Aruba is the American version of a Caribbean island, Bonaire is the European version. Get in a small (5 -15 unit) resort and relax.

I'll add to that: Sea Cliff Cottages in Dominica. http://www.dominica-cottages.com/ You'll need to rent a car, preferably an SUV or Jeep as it's out of the way and some of the roads are rough. But you can't beat the view. Also, bungalows and casitas in the Mayan Riviera provide a "get away from it all" without giving up everything. http://www.locogringo.com/dynamic/lo...ngalows/Casita -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address.

But you haven't said just how you like to spend your days. On a beach with lots of white sand? Then Dominica is not for you. But if you like hiking around, then Dominica is. Do you want good food? Sports? Just what? Don www.donwiss.com/pictures/carib (e-mail link at page bottoms). |

Hi, perfection to me would be a SMALL place on an empty sand or pebble beach... maybe some near shore reefs, a decent little town close (duncam jamaica filled the bill for me)... no 100 mile drives for supplies (I remember when cozumel was a friend's fishing camp)... something like zihuatenejo before ixtapa (late 60s early 70s) |
