re: Best island in the Caribbean?

So tell us more about your trip there? What part of the island did you stay on? The people? Food/drink? Prices?
We stayed on the western side of the island. Very calm water. There are restaurants all along the coast. They pretty much all are either small/local restaurants or very nice restaurants.
People were very nice. It was a British colony so everyone speaks English, but they drive on the left side of the road so prepare for that if renting a car (which I recommend). There was a grocery store down the road that was nicer than the publix near my house
It is a pricier island, but most of the restaurants have websites with menus so you could check to see if that works for you. They have their own currency, but accept USD and credit cards everywhere. It’s a 2:1 ratio so anything listed in Barbados dollars, just half it for USD.
I would recommend taking a trip to the north side of the island to visit the animal flower cave and also going to the animal reserve. All of the animals are free roaming in a big fenced area.

Good stuff AA7. Thanks!

We almost went to St. John, so the above comments seem amazing.
We did go to Turks and Caicos. If that's a primary goal, then I'd suggest looking into that as well. Not much to do but the beach, and their beaches there are ranked among the best in the world. And I don't think Provo is all that commercialized and you do have other out islands you could visit as well. Not much hiking though unless you count walking up and down the beach. Very easy flight getting there too, so that's a plus.
Also, per my original post, Grenada is not very developed and it does have some very nice beaches, AND amazing hiking (an island with waterfalls and rain forests if you can imagine! We didn't go to Carriacou, an island part of Grenada, but that'd be as about as undeveloped as it gets! And you could take a day trip, or even spend some time on nearby Petit St. Vincent! I don't remember the costs, but one way to go is to fly into Union Island, then take a boat tour that goes to different islands-such as PSV and many others in the Grenadines. Visit Tobago Cays marine park. There was a ferry that went over there as well. A bucket list trip still on the books for me!
