Although we've only been the one time, I can say that our villa was absolutely perfect and I would very highly recommend it if you are looking for a really private, romantic 1-bedroom with an amazing view. It was La Mouina in Vitet. High season is about $4000 for the week (you should verify that). It is available from more than one agent; we used French Caribbean (Sharon) and could not have been more satisfied. If you want more details, I can refer you to a post I made at sbhonline.

Biras was the first place we went to in the Caribbean (1990). It was really great then. I heard it slid a little and that the last few years it has become as good or better than ever. When we did Young Island, we did it with our kids. They had a cottage on one end of the resort and we had one on the other end. Perfect! Very charming place. We considered Palm Island, but everything I'd read made PSV sound so much nicer. We've been to PSV a couple times and it is really a favorite of ours. I've also been trying to discover a cheaper place that we'd like just as much. It takes guts to try a nearly unknown spot though. I'm thinking about checking out Cape Santa Maria in the Bahamas. It's very reasonable and sounds pretty neat, if not plush. Actually, in a rather odd way, St. Barth (often referred to as the world's most expensive destination) was sort of a bargain. It was less expensive than a week at PSV and, although competely different, equally wonderful. I'm working on getting my wife to agree to a crewed sailboat in the BVI sometime too.
