Where is a nice quiet caribbean beach to stay?

My husband and I went to the virgin islands, british virgin islands, aruba, dominican republic, cruises, parts of mexico, and this year we would like to try somewhere new. Not real quiet like St Marten on the French side was where everything closes early, but not with a million kids running around. We get one trip a year without the kids and this is it. Any suggestions?

I highly recommend Barbados.

If you want to have a quiet place by the beach, then you can look into The Crane:

http://www.thecrane.com/ - The only downfall is that it's pretty much away from everything except its own restaurant and beach.

However, there are a few options you can get around from Crane area, i.e. taxi, local transit (mini bus, big blue bus).

There's also the Hilton.

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

You can maybe look into Silver Sands resort:

Just hope there won't be millions of kids running around!

    Culebra Island, Puerto Rico. The spanish virgin island. Amazing beaches, some of the best in the world! Then Ferry to Vieques Island and back to mainland Puerto Rico, visit el Yunque rainforest and the colonial treasures of Old San Juan. Or rent a Jeep and drive to the west coast, towns like Isabela,Aguadilla and Rincon are surfers paradise. Enjoy.
    Check out these sites on Beautiful Culebra.

    I think Barbados and Cuba - the Cayo Coco area is beautiful, not much to do, but great beaches, there is an adults only hotel - Melia Cayo Coco.

    If you would like further hotel recommendations, then please feel free to contact me.

    Barbados is a good place to stay.

    Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.

    When you visit Barbados, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean Island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados.

    Barbados is a very beautiful island, with lots of art, activities, night life, music, history and some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere. But what makes Barbados even more special, and the reason why so many visitors keep returning to the island year after year, is the people. Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome and special, in this lovely Caribbean Island. You will feel its your home and will want to come back again and again to Barbados: A unique Caribbean paradise, surprisingly sophisticated, friendly, fun and always Naturally Charming!
