Have been looking at Sandals and Beaches and others.. Any advice? Sandals seems pretty pricey. Is it worth it. Mexican all inclusive seems like a better deal? Is all inclusive the way to go?

Ya first trip. I feel like sandals is overpriced so it’s hard for me to pull the triggerWherever you go, you should definitely do all inclusive. It makes everything more convenient while you're at the resort, and you'll end up saving quite a bit of money if you do a fair amount of drinking.
I've never stayed at a Sandals resort, but my general impression from talking to people that have is that Sandals is overpriced. My wife and I stayed at a Dreams resort nine years ago for our anniversary, and everything was top notch. All of their properties come well recommended.
I take it this is your first trip to Central America?
That's my general impression as well. As I mentioned, I would highly recommend a Dreams resort.Ya first trip. I feel like sandals is overpriced so it’s hard for me to pull the trigger
Among those, I've only been to Jamaica and St. John. If I had to choose between those two, I'd choose St. John. I'm not sure that all inclusive resorts are as common there though.Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks, St John. All I am looking at.

#dadlifeMan I miss traveling.
The best place for the money is CostaRico. I go every couple of months to decide on a place to live. Been in Playacar in Playa for four years and never had a problem. Ready for a new adventure.
And I wouldn’t trade it for anything! One day I will get to take this little dude with me and show him the world. I can’t wait for those days.#dadlife

I went to st Thomas and St. John last February and am going back. They were hit really hard and were still recovering but we had a great time.I hate Jamaica. Turks are really nice and great diving and snorkeling. I liked St Johns but don’t know if the hurricane hit it or not. Also Bahamas are really fun. Man I miss traveling.
Asked myself if I would regret not living there one day. Worried about island fever thoughJust did that. Got back 3 days ago. We all had a fantastic time! Made some great memories. Maui is my favorite place that I have ever visited, and it is not even close.
Just watch narcos season 4 and you will be fineI went to st Thomas and St. John last February and am going back. They were hit really hard and were still recovering but we had a great time.
Going to Cancun in March and staying all-inclusive. I am a little nervous though.

Which resort?Going to Cancun in March and staying all-inclusive.
People can still go to Cuba right? I would love to see it as long as the don’t scramble my brain with a sonic weaponAnyone been to Cuba yet? My travel agent has a cruise out of Miami that goes to Cuba and they circle the island for five days so you stay on the boat and not in the Cuba hotels. Thinking about taking the wife of that cruise.
I go to Isla every year. We have access to a house on the island. It’s quite fun.Headed to Isla Mujeres in a few months. Anyone been there?
Man, been twice and wouldn't go back unless I had to. So commercialized, so lazy of people (workers), etc. I'm sure there are good areas of Hawaii but only in my opinion it sure aint Maui. not enough holes at Kapalua, or Mai Tai's and Lavaflows to get me back there.Just did that.

Whaaaat? The reason I like Maui is that it didn’t seem touristy. But I rented a condo on the beach in Kapalua. So was kind of on my own. Golfed plantation and did our own thing most the timeMan, been twice and wouldn't go back unless I had to.

My parents are going some time this year for a dive trip. I will let you know what they think.Anyone been to Cuba yet?

My wife and I stayed in a house on St John for a week a couple years back and loved it. The other great part is you can take day trips over to the British Virgin Islands as well. I much prefer the Caribbean over Mexico. Its just so much safer and we are able to get out and explore as opposed to not leaving your resort. We have never done the all inclusive thing. We always get a car and explore the islands when we go to the Caribbean. Do you like a little more secluded place or an area with a lot going on? Exuma, Caymans, and St Lucia are fantastic as well.
Curious about St Lucia. When we went I felt very unsafe there walking around the main town. I even had a homeless dude whip is pecker out and piss right in front of me and my wife. If you stayed at a resort then it is a great place IMO and beautiful place but I didn’t feel safe in the towns.My wife and I stayed in a house on St John for a week a couple years back and loved it.
