Rosemary,

Just want you to know there is no comparison of Pinel Islet to any of the other islands you've mentioned. It's another beach with very shallow and calm waters and if I'm not mistaken, two or three lunch spots and a snorkeling trail.

And if you want to experience clothing optional on Pinel you can (or at least you could....) hike around to the back side of the island.

We used to go to Pinel a gazillion years ago when the boat was only a few dollars but it got to be too commercialized out there for my tastes although many others enjoy it. I felt like sardines the last time we went.......too many chairs too close together. Hopefully it's gotten better ....?
