To those that have been to both, which do you prefer? I've been to Mexico three times. I'm ready for a change. We went to the DR two years ago, but I wasn't impressed. It seemed just like Mexico to me, so the extra travel time wasn't worth it. I don't want to go to all the way to Jamaica and feel like it wasn't worth it either.
If you do prefer Jamaica, which area do you recommend?
Re: Mexico vs Jamaica
I've always gone to the Riviera Maya. I guess I should clarify. I felt like the beaches in Mexico and where we stayed at in Punta Cana were very similar.
I'll look into Curacao!
Our wedding on Wilson Island!
What about the cliffs in Negril? Or do you need to have beaches? We love Riviera Maya, but we're trying out Negril for the first time next month. We're staying at The Caves and The Rockhouse. I also looked into Tensing Pen.
Another popular combo is a property on the cliffs and then a few nights on the beach - I hear a lot about Couples Swept Away. We were just on the beach in Mexico for New Years (Excellence Playa Mujeres - it was great), so we didn't want any time on the beach. I'm pretty excited for some cliff jumping!
I agree with you about DR- we thought it was fine, but we wouldn't go back. I didn't think it was like Mexico though.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

I definitely prefer Mexico...not even close.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
