Well my wife and I had this thing that in each port we would hop on a taxi first thing in the AM and hit the nicest beach on the island. We'd be back by lunch and then walk around the port/touristy shops. For me, St Maarten has the most sites. I'm a bit biased as I've been there oh 10 times over the past 15 years. Check out Orient Beach, Marigot for a little taste of Paris (well sort of), Happy Bay (15 minute hike to a semi private beach overlooking Anguilla) and if you are adventurous take a ferry out of Marigot to Anguilla for a few hours. I also liked St Lucia and Barbados for stuff to do. Renting a car and driving around these islands is fun, with a few stops at the nicer beaches. St Kitts is small - zzzzzzzz. Antigua, well the port and town are a bit run down. Nice beaches but that's about it. I'd pick St Maarten and St Lucia for diving. My 2 cents.
