Carol....and all.....this question is a no-brainer. The best place to stay is LaPlage!!!!! I am here now, (for the twenty first time), the place is in GREAT shape...There is a nice beach, it's across the street or next door to some of the islands best restaurants, also across the island's most popular casino, next door to airport so you get to see the planes coming and going. and it's also home to the most ''friendly'' people on the island!!!!! It's probably one of the safest places on the island to get in and out of also!!!!
