String comment = 'Which island should I visit if I want the following:
- Stereotypical Caribbean island feel (palm trees, exotic birbs)
- Island is bigger than 1 mile. Not sure about the maldives.
- The closer to europe, the better
- Limited death and suffering risk from marine life (sharks are fine, but not sea wasp level)
- No all inclusive resort shit and guards, or at least you should be able to move outside without getting hassled by 1000 scammers other than the average masseur or beach ball sellers
- Focus on nature, no jet skies, paddles and sun lounge covered beaches with current music bars
Usually I go to greek islands, get a basic room and drive around with a scooter while eating sandwiches and local spirits and hiking/swimming. I guess the seychelles are good, but I'm not sure if they are worth it and more for couples and luxury style holidays.';

São Tomé & Príncipe is closer and cheaper and has what you want like palm trees, wildlife, and nature. It has rainforest and huge monolith formations like in southern China. It doesn't have a lot of tourism, but I really believe it will be the new trendy place within the decade. Don't tell anyone.';

I had a friend that trod on a stonefish whilst snorkelling and was hospitalised for 3 months, had to do physio to walk properly again';

yeah, that's why I won't visit Detroit or Mumbai. But it's about if the sea isn't full of poisonous jellyfish giving 50 days of pain or bats with rabies in island caves.

Seems harder to get to by plane without using air africa.';
'I am also looking for a cliche tropical paradise holiday but I want to avoid too many tourists. I have been to the Bahamas which was extremely beautiful but partially ruined by all the noggers and tourists.
I think Sao Tome and Principe along with Micronesia/Polynesia is the best bet. San Andres or the smaller islands off Panama as well.
Seychelles and Maldives just seem full of annoying rich couples';
