Luxury Hotels - Looking for Luxurious Privacy in Caribbean

My wife and I are looking for a 10th anniversary destination in the Caribbean (we only have time for a long weekend, unfortunately) and she desperately wants something that is luxurious and service oriented but also offers great privacy in the room/suite/villa.
I've read a number of threads on this board and looked at Amanyara, Parrot Cay and Cayo Espanto, all of which (especially Amanyara) seem to fit the bill.
Are there any other options? There are many other great resorts I've looked at (Sandy Lane, etc.) but though very nice they don't seem to offer that sort of privacy.
We are looking for a short trip, and we are looking for full service (cleaning, dining, etc) so I don't think a private house rental will work.
Thanks for any thoughts!

43 years traveling the Caribbean regularly, either the private villas at the Viceroy on Anguilla or the Canouan Resort on Canouan!

You might be interested in Amanyara's all-inclusive summer promotion which was just announced today - valid through September 30th. (They have provided the promotion in previous years.
For the same rate you'd normally be charged, you'll now receive:
breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily
2 massages with a 5+ night booking
1 guided nature walk with a 5+ night booking
7th night free
And you'd also be eligible for a Virtuoso upgrade.

David - I had seen that and am interested will follow up with questions in PM. Thanks!
An estate suite at Jumby Bay is very private.... except for the ducks around the pool. The pool and courtyard suites a little less so, but the island feel makes the whole place feel private.

A couple years ago my wife and I rented out a villa on Anguilla that was absolutely fantastic.

Owners were so wonderful and pleasant, beautiful home, gorgeous island ... everything we needed for our anniversary, and we could basically stay in a different room each night. Makes me want to head back now.

Absolutely Amanyara! The beach, water, food, villas(!).....perfection by Caribbean standards. And summer is a great time of year for the value concious. Booking with DavidO will also get you Virtuoso amenities and the possibility of an upgrade.
If you haven't seen it, here is our trip report with a few pics on page 2.

Another vote for Amanyara ^
I was at the Viceroy Anguilla last year and found the service subpar, quality of food very average and the did not like the giant size of the resort.
