Okay. I have a suggestion. But first, to help us better how about ranking
how important each of these things is to you?
My suggestion is to do two islands in the trip. Why stay the entire time in
one place? I suggest you fly into St. Martin. Then split your time between
Anguilla and Saba. Anguilla has the best beaches I have ever seen. And many
high end resorts to choose from. Then you can spend time at Willard's on
Saba for the diving. Now this is deep diving, which I don't know if it
appeal to you. This will give you a coral island and a volcanic island. And
from Anguilla you can take the ferry over to St. Martin for a day of
shopping.
WinAir flies between all these islands, though you could, right after you
arrive simply take the ferry to Anguilla, if you start there. If you do
that, then you can wait and buy all the WinAir tickets when you are in the
St. Martin airport. They will give you much closer connections than a web
site will give. Like 5-10 minutes connecting time in St. Martin. (Flights
between Anguilla and Saba will connect in St. Martin.)
