30th Birthday
 

5-6 women looking for a 30th birthday vacation spot next May.<BR>Would like nice, safe place. NO ALL-INCLUSIVES!!!! NO ATLANTIS and NO JAMAICA<BR>Four Season would be too expensive but looking for something like that just a cheaper version.<BR>Any suggestions?

Look into Cabo San Lucas--my daughter had her bachelorette party there last year. She stayed at the Sheraton Hacienda but there's a lot of properties. Fodor's online will have suggestions.

I've done several girl trips for various occassions. You end up with varying budgets. Try Key West or South Beach.<BR>Theresa

Look at Royal Antiguan--Antigua, Turtle Beach Club--Abaco Bahamas, Renaissance-- Aruba (formerly Sonesta).

Los Cabo (the towns in particular) are pretty trashy. Not what I'd imagine for a girls trip based on Four Seasons luxury. The nicer resorts are a long way from the towns.<BR>Can you all get together and get one of the really nice condos on Grand Cayman?<BR>GC is extremely safe, not as dull as some Caribbean islands (if you want places to drink/eat at night), and the condo prices are very reasonable, considering that many have 3-4 bedrooms. Most of the good ones are right on 7 mile beach.<BR>Aruba would be my next recommendation. Again, safety factor is very high, great beaches, places to go at night, and less expensive than GC.

thanks for the responses!

For an inexpensive fun vacation try "Time Out at The Gap" Hotel in Barbados-southern coast.
