I would scratch St. Thomas off of your list and replace it with St. John.
This, for sure if you are looking at USVI. St. John has some very nice houses for rent (have their own pool, option for staffing or not - most won't be on beach, but not a big deal on this island. Caneel Bay there is excellent if you want a resort, and doesn't have to be all-inclusive - it is a Rosewood Property which is a plus.
Take a serious look at Jumby Bay - its a private island resort off of Antigua and is a Rosewood Resorts property. Very low key, no night life, and it is all-inclusive, but the food is actually worth it there.
The Four Seasons on Nevis is also a top-notch trip, excellent if you play tennis and want to break up the beach scene a little.
Parrot Cay Turks and Cacos - another all-inclusive, but so easy to get to, and just an amazing place. Expensive, but another all-inclusive that is well worth it.

If cost is not an option then rent a boat and cruise the islands.
Of course you will spend 250+
I can recommend a few yachts if you are serious.

Grand Cayman or Turks and Caicos gets my vote. Hell no to Costa Rica for me.

Planning a trip for May/June for a nice Caribbean/Costa Rica trip. Looking for something non all-inclusive, great food, and what most consider a top-tier destination. Price isn't really a concern on this one. So far we've got St. Thomas Costa Rica? What other islands or countries should I be considering?
If you are interested, my dad puts these types of trips together for a living. He guides most of them. My brother is taking a group to Costa Rica in February. My dad is currently hoping around the Carribean right now. He has been to every continent. He wrote a book on backpacking that got published.
I could give you his blog info. He has most of his trips posted on it.
Like I said before, he mostly guides and plans trips abroad. He is all about doing it cheap but his customers seem to love it because most have went back on multiple trips.
Even if you aren't interested in that type of traveling, he does know what he is doing and can probably help you out.

at your resort. If you venture past your resort in those towns then you are essentially in the New Orleans housing projects. not friendly.

Go to Tortola in the BVI and charter a 45' boat from the Moorings for a week and go Island hopping. Can get a captain and cook.
I've been to numerous destinations in the Caribbean but this is absolutely the best vacation ever.

St. Maarten or the Cayman islands.
St. Maarten is gorgeous right now, but it looked like a desert last year because there was the worst drought in the recorded history of the eastern caribbean. Plus if you get board on St. Maarten you can day trip to St. Barths or Anguilla real easy.
ETA: If the OP is scuba certified there are alot of scuba places around St. Maarten and if he is certified advanced he can go scuba diving in the reefs and cliffs of Saba when you come to St. Maarten. Saba

St. Barts is the GOAT, but flying in is expensive, so it's more exclusive.
Fly into St. Maarten and take the ferry. It is much more affordable that way.

World Tattoo Traveler
He has another blog also. It's at the top of the link I sent.
He sold everything he had and now just travels all over. Couple stories done on his tattoo. World map with all the countries he has been to colored in.

if you stay in runaway beach, ask around for a cabbie named Rodney. He is a farmer in his spare time.

Definitely check out St Maarten.
The full blown nude beaches were something we did. Everyone should experience that at least once in their life.
