Which is better for a family vacation with kids: Maui or Barbados?

Q. I am trying to decide whether to go to Maui or Barbados for a summer vacation with my family. We have to kids. Which island is better for kids? Please only answer if you have been to both islands. Thank you! A. I personally recommend Barbados as my family have been going for 28 years (all my life) You don't need a visa (if UK citizen) Cheaper, less connection flights and flying hours) more british Nice environment and Plenty of kid friendly hotels good ones for example: Hilton Hotel Tamarin Cove Sandy Lane Coral Reef club Colony Club Almond Beach What's the best place in the Caribbean to visit in April? Q. I am looking for the perfect balance between isolated fishing village and over-developed beach full of high-rise hotels. Somewhere with nice hotels and stuff to do (restaurants, a town, etc), but not TOO Cancunized. Also affordable. Any suggestions? A. Barbados or St. Lucia What is the best place to visit in the Caribbean? Q. My family and I are planning on visiting...

Which Caribbean island not Jamaica, Barbados or Trinidad would you recommend for a vacation?

Q. Somewhere with good night life, reasonable hotels and places a 7 year old would find interesting. This is supposed to be in July so maybe any island that has carnivals or any special festivals during that time. We have already been to the 3 islands excluded. Anyone know anything about Antigua especially? A. Puerto Rico has excellent nightlife!! In Old San Juan there are tons of bars & pubs, nightclubs, live bands, casinos & more! There is alwasy a festival going on in PR :) In July the Salsa Congress will be in PR & will be performing shows. Also there are patron saint festivals & carnivals of many towns in July like Rio Grande(el yunque rain forrest), Fajardo, Morovis, Catano, Barceloneta, Guanica, Vieques & Loiza. Many have parades, music, food & more. Manati & Arecibo have beach festivals in July. http://www.pubclub.com/sanjuan/nightlife.htm http://travelandsports.com/ev.htm http://www.puertoricosalsacongress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pacu007...

How strictly is the drinking age in Barbados enforced?

Q. In December I am going to barbados with a group of friends and some will be 17 at the time. I believe the legal drinking age there is 18 but I want to know if they will still be able to get into nightclubs and bars and things like that during our stay there. A. The drinking age is not really enforced. You can still get into clubs/bars (hopefully) - there shouldn't be any problems once you don't look like 11 or something like that. However, I was informed it's 18 and up to get into. As far as I am concerned, I've never seen them check for any identifications but then again, it's not really enforced. Besides, you can even get Bank beers from supermarkets even small shops especially from gas station stores, too. So that you know, nightlife can be seen not only in St. Lawrence Gap which not only has clubs but restaurants/bars especially hotels and that nightlife can also be seen among Bay Street such as Harbour Lights and The Boatyard. Then there's Club Xtreme ...
