Amy,

Just remember, as Carol stated, most of us here are repeat visitors and as such, we know about the warts and wrinkles, of which there are many, but we also know about the good things this island has to offer: Beautiful and incredible beaches; food choices from the lowliest hot dog on the beach to the finest of dining in some of the French restaurants and everything in between; and the people. I’m not talking about the other visitors - most of whom are lovely, too - but of tge the maids and the groundskeepers along with the wait staffs and the people who so often are ignored. Take the time to engage them and you will be in awe of the personalities and pleasantness that will be bestowed upon you.

It’s an incredible island but just don’t try to plan too much and do let some of your trip just happen. You will be so glad you did.
