This was our third time at Little Dix, first time with young children in tow. Unfortunately we only spent two nights (we spent the rest of our vacation at the Westin St John using Starwood points - NOT recommended).
Little Dix has apparently decided to wholeheartedly embrace the idea of being a "family" resort. There were far more children there than we saw on our two prior visits (1998 and 2006). It was spring break for many people and that may have something to do with it. I'm sure the completion of the villas has also attracted more families. I think that it's still an appropriate spot for honeymooners, provided they aren't seeking a lot of night life. The pool did fill up with kids in the afternoon, but they close the pool at six so that all is picture-perfect by dinner. All the children I saw were well-behaved and accompanied by attentive parents. The Sugar Mill restaurant does not allow children - so that is an option for those that want to avoid them.
There were quite a few British guests - probably due to the decline of the dollar. it's silly, but it somehow made the resort seem more foreign and exotic.
In the interest of full disclosure I will mention that we did have one really lousy dinner (4/12). Our waitress was nice, but slow and did not seem properly trained. My meal was horrible (and I am not a picky eater - at all). Very, very tough and chewy grouper that was served in an unappetizing tin foil wrapper. I would have asked for something else, but it had taken so long that by that time the kids were falling asleep in their chairs. So I had M&Ms for dinner. Those were pretty good. One of the kids woke up sick in the middle of the night that same evening. I think they had a problem in the kitchen that day. I'm willing to write that off as a one-time thing, since everything else was perfect.
I higher recommend this resort. It's pricey in an absolute sense, but I think it's a very, very good value relative to other resorts. It really feels like paradise. Our next visit will be longer.
