 FDR/Pebbles; Liberty Travel found it, I booked and paid... 

After 6 weeks of exhaustive internet searches for a reasonably priced trip to the Caribbean for our family of 4, I finally bailed and went to my local Liberty Travel. The internet had me flying out of NJ and returning thru Boston at $1000/pp so I figured a travel agency could cut thru the maze. Liberty found us a 4 nite, 5 full day stay at FDR Pebbles (all inclusive) but now I have buyer's remorse, even though the flights are non stop and perfectly timed (lv Philly early am and return late pm). I am scared that FDR Pebbles will be an overpriced dive with a bad beach and food. Tell me I'm wrong?! I have been to Anguilla, Grand Cayman, Tortola and was on the most beautiful beaches...I'm hoping against hope this will measure up. My kids are 16 and 13, so they are not the issue and my husband just wants value, but travelling over Xmas is pricey. I hope my family will be happy. HELP.

Re: changing hotels; at this late date I cannot do this without a $$ penalty. Anyway, at the time I was looking, everything was booked, and what was still available cost $10,000 for 5 nights/4 people. We will make the best of it and my kids are hardly gourmets and are very adaptable. I will do "luxury" in late June with my husband at either Palm Island or Petit St. Vincent.

Re: Bonnie...I will look for you. Are you staying for a week? Is the town in NYS where you are from near the St Lawrence Seaway? If so, I knew someone who lived there. Or maybeI'm mixing the town names up!

WE ARE NEAR ROCHESTER N.Y. AND THE FINGER LAKES REGION. I called my travel agent and she cakked the hotel directly this morning. She said they assured her that all activities would be up and running. She also mentioned to them that reviews were stating that ants were on the food, etc. She was told of course that that was not true. She told me to document any problems and any conversations with employees as we have travel insurance. If huge problems do exist, we would at least have some documentation. She also has a friend that just came back and she said that it is not by any means a 5 star property, but her family loved it as it was laid back an good family fun. As my travel agent told me, the cost for a better property would be out of sight. I know I priced Boscobel BEach and it was 9,000.

Just a note to say that in my area the Beaches properties cost approximately THREE TIMES AS MUCH as FDR Peebles. There is just no way you can make a comparison. However imho, although Peebles is not on the same level, it is overall much more realistically priced, and a better value for your money.

I think you are going with very realistic expectations and therefor you will very likely have a great vacation.

Blessings and respect to all.
