Looking for rainforests and beaches together
I'm looking for a vacation spot for next Febraury (President's Week)for a family of four (children 6 and 8). What is the best place to take children, see the rainforest, and have nice beaches. Looking for a beach that doesn't have big crowds though.

Port Antonio, Jamaica has both without crowds;renting a villa would probably be your best bet (there are no AIs unless Dragon Bay, to be developed into a Sandals, is still open) with Goblin Hill worth looking into.You'd need fly into Kingston with a connector flight to the Porty airport or be met by a private car/van/driver for the 2 hour trip.

I would definitely second Costa Rica. Check out the forum under Latin America where you can get all sorts of info. from lots of experts - Iza is especially helpful. Manuel Antonio area is probably your best bet to cover both rainforest and beaches. Happy planning!

Consider Tobago.<BR>A wonderful compact Island with an amazing Rainforest Reserve that covers most of the Interior.<BR>Some gorgeous beaches on both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides, populated by friendly honest English speaking folk who pride themselves on being good cooks-the food is ambrosial.<BR>The farther north you go on Tobago the fewer tourists you'll see.<BR><BR>Try www.mytobago.info for lots of info<BR><BR>As to Costa Rica I lived there for a time but would be hard-pressed to go back.<BR>The bland greasy food, thieves galore are good reasons never to visit CR again.<BR><BR>
