    Petit St. Vincent Resort ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES Take a reprieve from the every-day rush in one of 22 secluded cottages that dot this 115-acre island at the southern tip of the Grenadines. Wi-Fi and televisions are blissfully absent from each of the one- and two-bedroom cottages. Instead, communicate with the attentive staff through colored flagsfor maximum privacy, just fly the red flag. Make lasting memories while sailing, diving, visiting the spa or exploring the nearby Tobago Cays wildlife reserve, then return to a beachside dinner or barbecue. A bottle of celebratory Champagne from the extensive cellar completes a day

    well spent.
