Traveling to the Caribbean
Our friends are trying to plan another trip to the Caribbean in 2011 (8 of us went to Jamaica in '08 and had a blast!). We stayed at a Sandals that time and really liked it. They are considering the Dominican Republic for this next trip (Punta Cana). Sandals are only in the Bahamas, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Jamaica with Jamaica being the cheapest.
I thought that if we stayed at a Sandals again we might be able to use some sort of "rewards program" for being repeat guests. But at the same time, it would be nice to visit a different island since DH & I have already been to Jamaica 2x and we all went to Jamaica in '08.
Any thoughts if you have traveled to DR before? Or any other All-Inclusive recommendations?

Re: Traveling to the Caribbean
I've heard amazing things about the Excellence Punta Cana resort in DR. It's an AI, I believe it's adults-only and had many choices for restaurants.
I've never been to an AI, and only part of the Caribbean was Puerto rico, so I only have 2nd-hand info!
Tina...Dumb question for you...
My dh and I have been trying to plan a trip somewhere but worry about brining the baby with us. Do the Sandals resorts have accomodations for the baby?
Hey Heather! Sandals is a couples only resort. But their sister resorts, Beaches, are family friendly. They have more family oriented activities and also offer a babysitting service so you and DH can go have dinner, or get massages, etc. Where are you looking to go? We're bad parents and will be leaving our 1 year old at home with the Grandparents for our 2011 trip. But s/he won't remember a thing!
i'm not sure where we are going to go...right now we are just in the discussing stages. And you are not a bad mama...my theory is mom/dad need some time too.
I do worry about leaving our little bean b/c a friend of mine and her husband went away for the weekend to Vegas, she said they were both miserable the whole time b/c they missed thier LO so much.
We'll see.
There are several good places to go with kiddos! We are looking into a quick trip to Mexico late winter/early spring with LO. Beaches is the biggie, but a bunch of less $$$ ones are out there. We went to Palace Resorts for our HM, it was kid friendly and not too $$$.
I can't wait to go on vaca with the boy, it will be a blast!
