Son conceived on St. John. Enough said I have been to the VI both British and US about 5 ot 6 times. I really love VIrgin Gorda. I know you seem not keen on the VI, but let me tell you about Gorda (that is a photo of The Baths as my avatar photo BTW.) You have The BItter End if he likes sailing/windsurfing/kitesurfing. You can get an all inclusive deal at the Bitter End Yacht Club. My problem with the BItter End is the beaches aren’t all that great. For beaches, I like the other end of Gorda, with The Baths and Devil’s Bay. We have rented houses several times on that end of the island. It is a very quiet island, and much safer than St. Thomas or Tortola. I think they could rent a car on Gorda. THe car rental agency is also the auto repair garage and is also the shuttle bus depot. It is pretty low key! Once we rented a house that came with a car. There were 7 or 8 of us (grad school) and we piled into that jeep even though it didn’t really fit all of us. You only go 10 mph.

The other idea is Grand Cayman. I would stay away from 7 Mile Beach. I would to the Cayman Kai resort with beautiful snorkeling.

And you can get around on St. John via taxi or just walking. You can do a hike right over the island to the other side (as an all-day activity), and you can get a taxi to town no problem. Probably better if there is any alcohol involved anyway.
