My husband and I are planning our first trip to AC in March, 2007 (tried to plan one for 2005, but went to Mexico instead - this time it WILL happen). There seems to be so many wonderful places to stay ... wanted your help on which wonderful place we should choose! We are in our early 40's, enjoy scuba diving, frequenting local establishments (a/k/a bars), meeting new people and generally having a "fun" time (we are from the New Orleans area, so it is kind of in the blood!). I've narrowed it down to these four places. Where would YOU stay if these were YOUR choices? (And I know ultimately I have to choose, but just wanted an opinion from the experts laugh )

Banana Beach - Interior Pool, breakfast included, $136.25 per night, 1.44 miles from south of river

Corona del Mar - No pool, breakfast included, rum punch included, $113.05 per night, .86 south of river

Coconuts - Pool/jacuzzi, breakfast not included, $148.50 per night, .88 south of river

Tides - Pool, breakfast included, $136.25 per night, .41 south of river

Thanks for your help!
