recommend a warm vacation spot....
with sun, sand and clear water beaches.
I have had a crappy winter and want to plan a short vacation (meaning a short plane ride please). I am considering Puerto Rico or a close by island. I don't want to spend a fortune and don't want to be bogged down with sightseeing but prefer to relax and do nothing. Suggestions please!!!!
Re: recommend a warm vacation spot....
I am a huge fan of the all-inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Secrets Capri is my fave! It's also a direct flight, which is a huge bonus.
FL - South Beach, Sanibel Island or Key West
Jamaica has some reasonably priced resorts, and it's a shorter flight.
Grand Cayman is gorgeous. I also love Mexico (on the gulf side). It might not be the cleanest place, but the beaches are pretty and it is so happy/cheerful (and not too expensive).
what about cruise to bermuda? beautiful clean little island with pink sand beaches (horeshoe bay, or elbow beach are the best). there are 5 night cruises leaving from philly and bayonne. or you can have a short flight there and stay at one of the all inclusives places.
My mom went to Jamaica a couple of years ago and stayed at a Riu all inclusive place. She liked it.
Atlantis is very expensive. But I do suggest Sanibel Island/Marco Island or Naples on Florida's west coast.
Now, I live on Florida's east coast - so you could always come see in Delray Beach!
i like the bahamas...you can get a direct flight, it is easy, there are a lot of cheaper options for hotel, people are nice, water is beautiful, i never felt like people tried to rip me off (like i did in turks and caicos), and there is no need for sightseeing (although we did a really fun all day boat trip). atlantis is a cool resort and you never have to leave....plus it is huge so you get tons of exercise walking around the grounds! you can get really cheap rooms there that are totally fine in my opinion.
i have heard puerto rico is fun and that would be good because there is no need for a passport and customs nonsense.
let us know what you decide.
I second Secrets Capri! We love all the Secrets Resorts, but Capri was one of our favorites. The only one we liked better was Excellence Riviera Maya (it used to be Secrets). We went there on our honeymoon and that was our absolute favorite so far.
are you still thinking about the rockhouse?
We were going to stay at Xtabi in Jamaica (before we decided to cancel and save for the babe). I think it was a little more affordable than Rockhouse, but same concept. It got good reviews on Tripadvisor.
If you want all-inclusive/beach - my brother and his GF just stayed at Rose Hall and liked it.
