I go through this all the time. I value space and privacy. Private pool and a nice beach are also a plus. In addition convenient travel, especially for 2-3 days. The JetBlue. On stop to POP is nice but like you’ve said, they are closed. I’ve been to Amanyara and while it’s not great there aren’t any many great options. Parrot CAy beach villa is actually next on my list for Turks... but with the transfers and lack of a non stop flight for me; I wouldn’t want to go for less than five nights. any thoughts about Anguilla? Beaches there are great. FS doesn’t really appeal to me (what’s with the tiny plunge pools) though. I looked and looked and just couldn’t find anything appealing... the beaches in Mexico just seem kind of blah... especially compared to the bexhes in Turks... so our next trip instead of the CArribean is to Twin Farms....
