Where is nice to go, cant be in the states looking for an all inculsive

Leave next week for Puerto Vallarta. Staying all inclusive at the Riu Jalisco. I'll report back on how it is supposedly a 5 star though. My advice is talk to a travel agent it will save you a ton of time combing through all the travel sites and the rate for the trip will be about the same too.

Cuba is awesome....

Depends what you want to do. Do you want to have an adventure vacation, or sit in a resort and get slammed?

Ocean Blue in Punta Cana is great and Sandos Playacar in Playa Del Carmen, and if you scuba dive Geofish just off the strip is great people.

Los Cabos..................RIU Palace !!! Life is good there......................

Did Cuba last month. Met alot of people there that were also there for the first time. When asked if they would go again it was the same answer. Everyone took awhile to answer. While I had a good time I am not sure we would go again. Lots of people came back sick. The food was always hit and miss. Usually good but also most of the time is was cold. Once resturant we went too was fricken awesome. Used to be Al Capones house for his hitmen to escape the country while the heat was on. Had my best lobster ever there. Basically it wasnt as nice as I thought it might be but i made the best of it and turned it into a good time.

Guess it depends on where you stay because the Sirenis la Salina was awesome, we ate at the capone place and a couple little cafe's along main street. did a day trip to Havana and saw the Tropicana show... All in all we LOVED it. felt safe, lots to do awesome beaches...

Murminator could you post a few more pics. Looking for a place to go next February. Been to Cancun was ok but very commercialized. Been to the Dominican Republic twice (Puerto Plata) and enjoyed every minute of the trips.

Been to Mexico several times and never been into trouble. Even when we were looking for it. Spent a year in Cuba and would highly recomend it. There is so much more to see and do there then what is on the main street of Varodero. I would also recomend a cruise, been on a couple now and just love them.

I have been to Mexico 6 times from Cancun to cabo to the Pacific side.That said I just got back from rincon de Guayabitos.64km north of PV hard to beat as its just the right size.Its a canadian enclave so you feel real safe.There are a few all inclusives but I have been there done that.way better to get a bungalow so you can do some of your own cooking and shopping.we mainly went out for dinner at nite and its soo cheap and good.Some nites 7 of us went out for street side tacos and the bill was only 144 pesos[12 bucks] for all 7.You can also walk from one end to the other in about 15mins but longer if you stop to shop at the stores.Rincon is not too big so there are not a ot of noisy tour buses trying to tun you over but still big enough to not get bored.La panita is a bigger town 2kms north with a lg public market every thursday

Been to Mexico six times. Always felt safe and no issues (nothing the Imodim never fixed). Depending on what you like to do, every place has its perks. Akumal Beach Resort was not a high end hotel but the beach was one of the best I've been to and the little town of Akumal was a short 5 min walk along the beach. We found a cool little sidewalk bar where the waiters fell in love with my blue eyed wife and treated ALL of us like Kings! We were there at closing time one night and we asked if we could stay on the pation for awhile. We asked what another $20 would get us for last call, he came back with 20 Coronas in a five gallon pail full of ice! Great time! The 5 min walk back took about 30 min after that!

Overall, Costa Rica last year (just outside Liberia) was the coolest as far as excursions go, horse back riding up to the zip lines, river ride to feed the crocs and monkeys, and howler monkeys up and down the beach all day, very cool! I think The flight was only about 30 minutes longer than going to Cancun, well worth it! Food was superb!

That hotel looks sketchy to me .....just sayin

we stayed there christmas 2010 as well and it was fantastic. besides being a bit to large of a resort, everything else was great.
