    Great views of EPCOT, and you're away from the other islands, so it's nice and quiet. You have to walk across the island to get to Port Royale, but that was fun! The only bad thing was that Jamaica is like hte last stop on the bus, so when you get back to the resort, you're the last one off.

    I stayed at Barbados once, too...and I thikn the rooms may have been bigger.

    For the best view of Epcot, I think Martinique is your best shot. You can go out on your private beach and catch the fireworks show over SSE with the least amount of obstruction.
