[crisper]

Hiya .. Mr C and I, are thinking of a Carribean Holiday next year to celebrate our 25 wedding anniversary... but know nothing about the carribean, so we've started looking at different places, but were wondering if any of you have been anywhere you can recommend! We'd like sun...lol.. white sand and WARM sea...not into nightlife .. we like a good restaurant.. nice beach bar..quiet bar for a drink... low key holiday!!... So far the maldives is looking good.. but any idea;s would bee gratefully recieved!.. ta everso.. Mrs C x

I went to the Caribbean for the first time last Christmas, spent 2 weeks in Antigua and was absolutely blown away but that's because I want to spend all day every day on the beach and there are so many to choose from, some with only about 4 other people to share it with. Wouldn't recommend if you are after repeated fine dining and lots of other activities although there are lots of great beach bars and restaurants that do good but not posh food. I've already booked our return trip. It#s quite quiet but stunning and BA and Virgin fly direct from Gatwick..

Thanks LG, I'll peruse the diving opportunities further. Good diving is an important part of our holidays.

@ Eccles, No worries - and when you have decided on your venue, please remember I take up very little space in a suitcase! ;)
