Honestly, for April, I wouldn't book somewhere else YET... If all you want is a c/o beach and don't have to stay at Club O, the BEACH there should be clean by April. And there will be SOME lodgings available on the island. I think it's ambitious, but Beachside Villas says they will be open by November 1. And a lot of other places say they will be available by January 1. Maybe actually DO bring a bunch of food, etc., but by April, the experience will not be anywhere near the same, but if all you want is the best c/o beach on the planet, I wouldn't book somewhere else yet.. I doubt there will be many (if any) gourmet restaurants available and there still will be a lot of damage evident everywhere. If you want a regular vacation experience as you have in the past, it won't be available in April, but you will be able to enjoy the beach...
