Which Island, Which Resort/Property?

How do two single hetero guys in their 50s decide on a resort or property to stay at where we will not feel as outcasts being single, but at the same time ... be amongst single adults (maybe 40s/50s) who are into having a good time/fun ... and also NOT be amongst a lot of "craziness" that is more commonly associated with younger singles?

In the most general way I think it has a lot more to do with which specific resort you choose, rather than which island.

No sorry. I'm single and have traveled to Jamaica a few times but more often to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. But I don't stay in resorts. I just find local hotels or apartments to rent. That suits me better.

But there are plenty of straight 40 & 50 year old guys who vacation in Cabo San Lucas (fishing is big there) on the Baja or PV... just judging from who I see out and about at the beach, in bars, etc. in those places.

The Caribbean place I've been most often and most recently is Negril Jamaica. Take a look at www.negrilonestop.com and see if that might appeal to you. It's 90 mins. outside Montego Bay (where you fly in). And shuttles are ~$30usd pp to get you from MoBay to Negril, where there's a dropdead gorgeous 7 mile beach and also places to stay up on "the Cliffs".
