Re: Vacation advice

Nobody has any input? Somewhere you went on your HM that was fantastic?

I've been to Bermuda, Bahamas, Dominican Republic so I'd rather not go back to any of those places.. Somewhere romantic...Maybe two locations?

Anything?

Re: Vacation advice

i found that jamaica was more on the affordable side. DH and I have been there twice already and are considering going back again.

Re: Vacation advice

DH and I are going to Jamaica next year.. we've both been several times...its affordable and all inclusive. Love it there! I've always been a Sandals girl, but this time am trying the Couples resorts. There are others that are great too (RIU, Iberostar etc).

A close second was going to DR or Riviera Maya... but DH loves Jamaica, and since it's his anniversary present...we're headed back!

Re: Vacation advice

Re: Vacation advice

Try some of the Resorts in Mexico in the Riviera Maya. It's about an hour and a half south of Cancun, but they are all inclusive and some are really really nice. I went on vacation there a few years ago and it wasn't too expensive. I stayed at the Aventura Spa Palace. It was a great vacation!!

Re: Vacation advice

cancun has a bunch of inclusive packages but it can get really crowded, If you wanted to stay away from the crowd you can also try Riveria Maya (also in Mexico). Punta Cana in DR is also really nice. It depends on what you want to do. 2 weeks is a lot of time maybe you can take a cruise and see all the islands and there is always europe! Good Luck!

Re: Vacation advice

Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica, that was our fav place.

Other than that I would say any Sandal resorts or the RIU in Aruba, I have heard a lot of good things about it.

Re: Vacation advice

We just spent 2 wks at Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas for our HM. I cannot say enough about Cabo and Riu. We are simply in love with both. There is a lot to do if yyoure interested in excursions. If not, there is plenty of relaxation.

I 'third' Turks and Caicos. We didn't stay at an all inclusive but there are three on the island. The water is absolutely incredible!!! I seriously drank rum punch all day and laid on the beach.
