By your criteria there is only one answer... that's Barbados. Bermuda is
v. American and expensive. Bahamas also extremely US style and with over
80% of the tourist from the US that's not unnatural - even the Outer
Islands. Barbados is very different culturally, climatically and
geographically and the volume of US tourists is minimal in comparison to
the other islands you mention. No argument - with your rationale it has
to be Barbados.
