Wow, this is a great response list. I just reserved The Atrium on Venere.com for just under a grand all-in.

We'll be traveling from a Tuesday to a Tuesday that runs through the Thanksgiving holiday as flights were actually pretty cheap for us coming from LA through JFK. If we had tried a Sat-Sat or Sun-Sun then I totally agree with Carol_Hill that not only will some hotel nights be pricey, but the flight fares almost double! Ouch.

The solid, high-walled balconies (great comment moontide!) and nearby beach sound great for a little one (she walks like a champ and never stops it seems) and while my wife's cane needs aren't 24/7, but the easy conveniences do help a lot.

Thanks TTOL-SXM crew for helping me with my choices. My reservation at The Atrium has free cancellation so if someone has another suggestion after reading this, please divulge away.

Thanks
Scott (and family)
