What an outstanding 10 year anniversary vacation we had at Couples Ocho Rios, Jamaica! The employees are out of this world! The service is like nothing I have ever seen before. We enjoyed delicious food at all of the four restaurants located on the resort. There is plenty to choose from and the food and drinks are plentiful! My favorites were the pumpkin soup, lobster, choco...

I recently got back from a 7 night stay at the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach, all inclusive resort. Now as much as I adored the island, the gorgeous turquoise waters, and the atmosphere at the resort, there were in fact some issues with the resort I should discuss. Believe me, I could write a glowing review, because I had an awesome time. For those though looking for the whole enchilada on the hot...

I recently visited the Viva Wyndham Maya All Inclusive Resort located in Playa Del Carman, Mexcio. My husband and I flew into Cancun, Mexico and took about a one hour taxi ride to our resort. This resort was located directly on the beach, which we loved. We enjoyed spending our days laying on the beach. There were also many activities that were located right on site that you could partake in. W...

     If you are looking for a adult get away on a budget, I would suggest Club Ambiance in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  From the moment I emailed them for information about accommodations, the people there were helpful and friendly. Transportation to and from Montego Bay airport is included and upon arrival to the hotel you are greeted with a welcome drink...

Two years in a row, I have booked an all inclusive Mexican vacation through Expedia.com. My husband, myself and another couple took the trips together. My friend and I researched prices and locations for months before we booked. The first year we booked at a resort called Viva Wyndham Maya. It is a resort which actually had four "sister" resorts all in a row along a gorgeous stretch o...

We went to Playacar Palace in Playa Del Carmen Mexico for an extended weekend.  I had never been to an all inclusive so I didn't really know what to expect.The check-in was seamless, and they greeted you with a glass of sparkling wine and a flower for the ladies.  We had to wait a bit for our room, but we were able to relax and lounge by the pool.The pool was clean and well cared ...

I cannot rave enough about how amazing this resort is.Flying into the Kona airport, you feel as though you have been transported back in time as you climb down the stairs to the tarmac of the runway, seeing the wooden huts that mark the airport's main entrance.  You are greeted by a friendly aloha-wear clad employee of the resort, who directs you to the luggage claim, and after retriev...

The Grand Oasis PUnta Cana is located in the Dominican Republic.  A new place for us to visit and we were very excited.The lobby and grounds of this hotel were amazing!  However, once we got to the room I was very disappointed.  It was very run down and a couple of things were broken (like the lock on the door).  Not to mention the fact that it stayed 80 degrees in the room....

The Sandal Resort is one of the best in the Caibbean they have locations in Jamaica , Antigua, Bahamas and more Caribbean Islands. The experience at anyone of these resorts is excellent, the hotel will pick you up from the airport and drive you to the hotel, and if you don't want to rent a room in the major hotel itself they have villas available so if you need more space for you and your f...

  We went to Sandals Ocho Rios and loved it.  The ride over to the resort was kind of scary because they drive like maniacs, but once we were inside the resort, we felt it was worth fearing for our lives.  We went in January and the weather was absolutely beautiful.  Our room was very nice, but it was on the ground floor.  We left our bags and went to check out the grou...

When my husband and I got married, I told him he could plan the whole honeymoon. I just wanted a tropical place with a beach! He reserved a week-long get away at the Sandals Resort in Negril, Jamaica. It was the perfect honeymoon and I can't wait to go back for another romantic vacation!It took about an hour and a half to get from the airport to the resort, but the driver was very funny and...

I experienced the Occidental Grand Xcaret all-inclusive resort for seven nights on my honeymoon.  This resort is located in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico, which is just south of Cancun near Playa del Carmen.  We flew in and out of the Cancun International Airport and purchased transfers to/from the hotel.  We chose this resort for a variety of reasons:  beauty, size, varie...

I spent my honeymoon at the Sandals Halcyon in St. Lucia.  The Halcyon is the smallest of three Sandals resorts on the islands, but makes up for its size with its comfortable atmosphere and excellent staff.  While the other resorts offer larger suites, more pools and more restaurants- the Halcyon is less crowded, better maintained and everyone knows your name.  We visited the oth...

My husband and I had a 7 night stay at the Grand Palladium. We stayed in a standard room in the Colonial side. This was our sixth trip to the Yucatan. We've stayed everywhere from Puerto Adventuras to Cancun to Cozumel over the last 15 years. First, we fell in love with the Mayan Rivera during our first trip, but this was when Playa Del Carmen was only a few blocks in size and a great offbe...

I stayed at Excellence Punta Cana with my husband and two other couples from April 12th-19th of 2008, to celebrate my 30th birthday.  The trip was absolutely delightful and relaxing, and the resort was near-perfect.  Excellence Punta Cana is an adults-only all-inclusive resort about an hour's drive from the Punta Cana airport in the Dominican Republic.  The drive to and from ...

My husband and I recently returned from a week long trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research of resorts all over the caribean before finding Excellence, Punta Cana. Overall the trip was very nice, but there were a few things we didn't like. Excellence, Punta Cana is an all-inclusive, adults only resort. I read a lot of reviews online and found http://www.tripadvisor.com/ to b...
