I'm trying to arrange a first anniversary stay with my wife in the Caribbean, using Rewards if possible. I'm shooting for May 27 - 31. I attempted the Frenchmen's Reef / Morning Star in St Thomas but they claim to have no award rooms, although they do have general availability. They do have the Renaissance Grand Beach Resort, but at an available rate of $125/nt this doesn't seem like much of a bargain to use reward points for.

Anyone have any hints on how to finagle a reward stay? Suggestions for other nice resorts in the Caribbean? What about the best place to book a room if I'm going to need to pay?

Thanks much for the help!

Bill
