Caribbean Vacation
We'd like to do a vacation to an island but prefer it to have nonstop flights from Atlanta. The options we've found so far in our price range are St. Thomas, Aruba, and Montego Bay. I've visited the first two on cruises but I'm looking to hear from some people that have vacationed in these places as a destination. What did you think? Was the water pretty clear and the beach non-rocky? Also, I could use recs on hotels. Thanks!

I would fly to St. Thomas and take the short boat trip to St. John.
Check out Caneel bay...so lovely!
The Westin is also a nice option but Caneel bay has 7 beaches on the property.
St. John has endless beautiful beaches--rent a jeep one day and explore the island.
We did Punta Cana a couple of years ago so we wanted to try something different.

Ditto! I love St. John. Perfect place for beautiful beaches and relaxation.
no, i'm looking for recs in aruba and st.thomas as well. we're open to other islands. we just didn't find direct flights to the other places that we came up with but i'm sure there are some that didn't come to mind.

ah then yes-fly to st thomas, get ferry to any of the other usvi or bvi. google usvi ferry schedule.
aruba and st thomas are my least favorite islands.

Outside of flying in to MoBay I wouldn't choose to spend anymore time there. I HIGHLY recommend Negril, which is about an 1.5-2 hour drive and well worth it! We're staying at the Rockhouse in Negril in a few weeks - I can't wait! This time I'm actually excited for the drive since we have a private driver and he can show us the sites and not be stuck on a big ol' bus with a bunch of strangers.
FYI - The Rockhouse is on the cliffs of Negril, but there are several hotels (AI and non) on the beach also.
I agree. I would fly to MoBay, but take the drive to Negril. I had dinner at Rockhouse and it is beautiful, but we actually stayed at a place called Tensing Pen, which is maybe 20 minutes from Rockhouse off of the cliffs. It is beautiful and extremely affordable. Food was great as was service and the cottages. It's also very close to Ricks Cafe which is a lot of fun.
