Looking For New Vacation
 
We are an active older couple looking for a new beach vacation. We will go anytime.
Loved Aruba and Antigua but want to try a new place. We love hot weather, warm ocean water, sitting on the beach all day, and, if available, will join in on activities.
We loved Sandals and joined all the silly games and volleyball matches in our quest to win a silly tee shirt; we loved the food, and dancing at night. We like AI but it's not a must, but I enjoy trying lots of new drinks. Any suggestions? What month is best?

What about Negril Jamaica? They have several AI choices with activities(Couples & Beaches) & also Moon Dance Villas.

Moon Dance will do an all inclusive but it doesn't have the many activities as a regular resort does. You will get a villa with your own cook, bartender & housekeeping staff.

The beach is wonderfully relaxing & you can take any of the tours you want. For tours I suggest checking out Soloman at Talk of the Town Tours. a good site for info is www.negril.com. They have a great message board where you can post your questions.

If you want lobster then go after June 30. It is closed season from 4-1 to 6-30.

My long-time fav on Negril is Charela Inn, which has a terrific restaurant. Wonderful, wonderful staff. Haven't been in a couple of years. It's time to think about heading back....

toppy,, have you been to Bermuda? Also would help if you have a budget in mind for the hotel/food costs so we don't suggest options that are too expensive.

If you like a lot of activities, perhaps a cruise or Club Med.

Sounds like you would like Bermuda. There's so much to see and do and the island is so pretty - it really is a sight to be seen. You can go on mini cruises, including dinner, and they have different theme parties to choose from. There's so much more to be said about Bermuda - go to bermuda.com and check it out. The ocean will be 80 degrees by mid-June. Great time to go - not as humid as July through September.

Thanks everyone. Sorry I did not reply sooner but could not log on for some reason. Yes we love Bermuda but too cold for this time of year. My husband surprised me by booking Sandals St Lucia without telling me so I had no chance to suggest looking into Negril. I still will try though for our next trip. So, for now "Crazy Pool Games" and "Pirate Night" here we come. !!
