Neither of us has been to any of those three, so no idea about what is good and bad about each destination...

We are looking for a short trip (3 nights in country) in March. We want to relax in a good, quiet and good-value hotel. We are keen to eat well and take a trip or two away from the hotel to give us something to remember the particular place we are in.

Please could I have advice about where you would chose and why?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if you have discounted it for a particular reason but I went to Tobago earlier this year and it sounds perfect for what you're after.

There are a number of decent hotels right by the airport (some walkable but not noisy in the slightest) with access to nice beaches, while other deserted beaches, waterfalls and rainforest are all within an hours drive/ easily reachable by organised tour.
