My husband and I are looking for an All Inclusive Resort to vacation at this February that won't break the bank. We've been to Aruba many times and are looking for a change. We only like to travel to a non-stop destination. We're from NY. Any ideas? Thanks, Regina

Try looking at the Sandals Resorts.

The Cancun/Playa del Carmen area. Great a/i's, fantastic surf and sand and most definitely non-stop from the NY area.

Take a look at the Barcelo Maya all inclusive resort in the Mayan Riviera area south of Cancun. Cancun proper is very commercialized and party central now, but the area south is still like old Mexico with wonderful new all inclusives. The Barcelo Maya in on one of the best beaches in the area with on site snorkeling and has two huge beautiful pools, both with swim-up bars and there is no fighting or getting up early to reserve lounge chairs or shade as there is lots of both by the pools and on the beach. It is very good value for the dollar and if you want to find out more information and see pictures about this resort take a looks at this website. For people's personal vacation pictures of the resort and area, take a look at the sticky post at the top of the discussion forum on this website to see links to these pictures.

If the Barcelo Maya doesn't suit you, there are lots of other great all inclusive resorts in this area of Mexico and there is so much to do in this area such as Mayan Ruins, water/eco parks and cenotes to swim/snorkel in.

Have a great vacation, no matter where you choose to go. 8-)

thanks so much for your input. I'm going to check it out.

We visited Swept Away in Negril and thought it was excellent. Jamaica is accessible and it's a short 45 minute car ride to Swept Away from the Montego Bay airport.

Swept Away is quiet, on one of the Caribbean's best beaches (7 mile), it is tropical and romantic, great food, all water sports and you have access to the sunset cruises etc which are spectacular. Negril has alot of character - lots to see. Also opportunities to take day trips to nearby waterfalls etc.

If you do a search on Swept Away - you'll find great reviews.

There are also direct flights to St. Thomas from NY. Wyndham is the only AI. St. Thomas is quite beautiful itself, and it is the gateway to the rest of the Virgin Islands.
