Planning 25th anniversary "trip of a lifetime" Labor Day-ish '01, so have only one shot at choosing the perfect resort. Requirements: all-inclusive to control costs; barefoot ambiance (hubby's idea of dressing up is putting on his t-shirt - formal wear is his overalls); beautiful beach w/palm trees; lush grounds and room; decent food and mass quantities of beer; both privacy and places/people for socializing; pampering service; sense of safety; congenial crowd (we're both 43 and blue-collar types); and ease of reaching from midwest. Can anyone help? Thanks so much. <BR>

Apple Tours had an all inclusive trip to Cabo San Lucas a few years back. We stayed at el presidente. Secluded in San Jose Del Cabo but just a cab ride away to downtown Cabo where the parties are. Cheap trip but very nice resort and food was reasonably good. Alcohol included. You should see if you can find a similar deal.

Allegro Cozumel would fit the bill I would think. You can be very casual but still partake of all things. Grounds are lovely,staff entertaining, beer cold. Diving great!! Rent a car for the day go see other side of island lots of great beach bars what a hoot. You can't go wrong with cozumel. peace rita <BR>email if you want more specifics

Cozumel is a great choice. If you want to spend a whole lot less money <BR>consider going to Isla Mujeres. a small <BR>Carribean Island about 10 miles from Cancun. It is small town, laid back and much cheaper than Cozumel or Cancun. Norde beach is fabulous. We have a 15 page brouchure on the Isand that we can e-mail you if you request. Dan and Ginny

Opps just saw you Sept. departure date. This is hurricane and wet weather time for the Carribean. Consider Hawaii instead. Dan and Ginny <BR>
