Honeymoon - five nights - Grande Bay or Gallows?

I am helping a friend plan her daughter's honeymoon. The couple will only have five nights in February - would you recommend Grande Bay or Gallows? They are planning to rent a jeep.

Thanks.

Re: Private taxi from STT to Red Hook Ferry

This year we are arriving ON my 50th birthday! Because I want to see the St. John sunset ON my birthday, we have booked Rachel to take us to the ferry dock and Dohm's water taxi to take us to St. John. Definitely faster this way. More costly, but it is a special occasion and worth it!

Re: 7 Day Itinerary suggestions for 1st time visit

Which dinghy would be better for four adults? or should we split up and each couple have their own dinghy?

Great report!

Did you find Salomon Beach pretty easily? Was the path clearly marked?

Hospital visit - need suggestions

We have a neighbor who will be in the hospital until he can receive a new heart. We are going to visit him and his wife tomorrow night. I wanted to take dinner to the hospital but he is on a strict diet and can only eat what the hospital serves him. They have plenty of books and magazines and flower...

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip...especially about Bongo Bongo since we will be staying there on our next trip. Good to know there is not a welcome basket so we can plan accordingly. In the past we have always had a basket from the villa management company but this is our first time ...

Noah's Little Arks

I understand they rent two sizes of dinghys. Can someone tell me if four adults and a cooler and snorkeling equipment will fit in the 14 foot dinghy?

Thanks.

Denis Bay

Tell me about the beach - one report I read said it was rocky and one report said it was sandy.

Is there any shade?

Also, is it hard to get to?

Always looking for a new beach to visit and you don't hear too much about this one.

Thanks.

Arriving on my birthday

For our trip in November our arrival date is also my 50th birthday! If all goes as planned, we hope to be on the 5:00 ferry. We need to pick up our jeep, tour our villa (located near the Westin), head to Starfish for groceries and then back to the villa to unload groceries. What we are trying to dec...
