Barbados. I used to live there for a while. The best place to live regardless of cost of high rent, and stuff. But then again, I had accommodation for free -- thanks to my 2 friends and their parents. ;)

It all depends on what you want. St. Croix has nothing. Maybe some surf. St. Thomas is the best cause I grew up there. It has all of the great stores and schools, especially Antilles and All Saints private school. Public schools are not that great. St. Thomas sees a lot of shopping and it has great beaches. St. John is a great place because it is quiet, great beaches, and national parks, but partying is better on St. Thomas.

St. John...very beautiful island and friendly people

Personally, I would love to live on one that doesn't land cruise ships. Otherwise, I would pack my panties and move if I didn't have family here I was responsible for.

They call me ... Trixie.

That totally depends on what you like to do/not to do. Do you want nightlife? Can you put up with lots of tourists? Do you want to be somewhere remote? Do you like the humidity better or would you prefer somewhere drier? The islands are so diverse that without knowing you, it's hard to say what would be best for YOU. I know what's best for me - Jamaica has just about everything I want.

Ofcourse the answer to that would be St.lucia, helen of the west. I visited that little island and it was magical. From the drive-in dormant volcano to the sulpher springs oh, it was heavenly. If I had to live in any one of the islands it would be my number one. And the people are the friendliest, i should know because every year for the past ten years I've visited an island for the summer vacation. It's my number on so far.

For me it would be St John in the US Virgin Islands. It's owned by USA and I think the people are very friendly. It's just a ferry ride to St Thomas and a ferry ride to the BritishVirgin islands. I would love that. The beaches are awesome. It's a beautiful Island.

isn't that part of the united states? I know this regime in washington is oppressive but do we really need passports to travel to another u.s. state or territory?

If i were to go to the Caribean I'll choose Belice,which is not an island but is located in the Yucatan peninsula (near Can Cun)and it has the second largest coral reef in the world(first is in Australia) with christaline see through waters,palm/coconut trees,white sandy beaches and a lot cheaper than other places.oh,answering your question my choice of a Caribean island will be Jamaica/Cuba Reagee/Calypso/Bolero/Bachata dance anyone?

That would completely depend on your personal situation. If you need to work on the island, some of these smaller islands offer virtually no real jobs, other than tourism. If you can work from home, you would need an island that has wi-fi capabilities. Another issue is medical care: most Caribbean islands aren't known for their outstanding medical care, in which case you'd want to be on an island that could quickly get you to the US in case of medical emergency. Also, some islands are more prone to hurricanes than others.

That said, considering all of those factors, the one poster was correct: pick the island with Johnny Depp.

Grand Cayman if you're a scuba diver. U.S. Virgin Islands if you want the American feel. You could also go a little more remote with the smaller islands like Nassau, Martinique, or Port Au Prince.

Virgin Gorda, it is a gorgeous island. The big cruise ships don't go there so you don't have to deal with a lot of tourists. My favorite place there is called the bathes they are huge boulders that form a lagoon it's amazing. If you want a place where you will be completely relaxed surrounded by crystal blue water and lush green landscape this is the place for you. Go to google and type in Virgin Gorda look at the images you won't have to think twice.
