Meeting in the middle - family holiday in the Caribbean

Slight hijack here, but wondering if anyone can help. I'd like to plan a short family vacation to anywhere in the Caribbean but have no idea where to start.

Does anyone have suggestions for destinations in this area that would be good with 2 young kids (ages 5 and 2)?

Caribbean tends to be a little cheaper in summer as its very hot and so its not the high season. The big cruise lines tend to shift to European routes in the summer but cruising is a great family vacation too.

We went to St Lucia for a wedding last summer, at the Almond Smugglers Cove, very good resort, lovely staff and food and was not that expensive. The only thing in St Lucia is to mind the peddlers in Soufriere but the sulfur pits there are something to see.
I also hear good things about Barbados.


Oh no, why didnt you like Aruba, MeShell?

I just didn't like the dryness and the scrub like vegatation that I saw. But saying that I one saw the coast of the Island..but my sister did a tour of the island and she didn't like either.



Sevans....Barbados is good for kids. Alot of the hotels have excellent kids clubs. I think it was Almond Beach Hotel I went to that I was so impressed with. They also do excellent all inclusive packages.
