Question came up: Are Sandals resorts worth a look? | |||
|

We went to a Sandals in St. Lucia and enjoyed the heck out of it, so I would say yes. It's the only all-inclusive I've been to so I don't have another reference point, but I can say it met all of my expectations and was a great experience. J Rak Chazak Amats | |||

My best friend and his wife (and Godparents to my sons) says Sandals is THE BEST place to vacation, and they have been to a lot of places. Been there repeatedly and plan to go back. My niece and husband both went there in December, and my nephew in law, who is pretty persnickity, said he loved it and would go back. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Jade Mountain on St. Lucia. It's a wee bit on the spendy side but worth every penny from what I understand. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I thought "Maui no ka oi"?  Actually, I think all the Hawaiian islands are the best, each for different reasons. Kauai is a great choice for the sheer natural beauty (Jurassic Park was filmed there). I would also consider Lanai for a honeymoon. Very low key, perfect for an intimate getaway. Not a lot of lush scenery, but you can toggle between a world-class mountain resort (they have a sporting clays course) and a stylish beach resort. Bill Gates had his wedding and honeymoon there, renting out the entire island and locking out the media. | |||

Hopefully Covid concerns will be waining by then, with or without, FL is the obvious choice. Besides the common suggestions, check out the Apalachicola area, the ‘forgotten coast’. It will still be be fine with the weather, could set a yearly trend. | |||

+1 for Little Dix Bay, our honeymoon was there and we lived on Sanibel. Lick the lollipop of mediocrity once and you suck forever. | |||

You mentioned the Bahamas.... look at the Dominican Republic. I booked a trip to a nice all inclusive, for mid October, for 2, last month. Specifically, we are going to the no-kids property called Level in Punta Cana. The price tag for 2 people for 8 nights WITH first class airfare from CA was less than $3200. I have a friend who went and said it was a great vacation and better than similar types of vacations he’s done at Sandals on Jamaica. Doesn’t seem to be much in the way of covid restrictions down there. | |||

Both Sandals and Secrets resorts would be strong contenders for an all-inclusive, tropical getaway. I've stayed at a number of locations from each and have nothing but good things to say, without exception. suaviter in modo, fortiter in re | |||

As I mentioned, my stay there was on somebody else's nickel, I never saw the bill, but I am under the impression that the cottage that I was in was around $800 / night and that included all meals, booze, golf cart assigned to the cottage, etc. Food was outstanding, liquor was high quality, serve yourself (except at dinner, when it was handled by waiters), staff were really great people. Guy in the next door cottage was also a company pilot (different company), so we sat on the porch, sipped good booze, and told lies. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I would stay away from Mexico. There is a lot of bad stuff going on there. I know people like it but when the SHTF 'no fun anymore.' Cartels, COVID, all make for bad time.

I never married, but generic advice is to go someplace you both would enjoy, and that will have some solitude. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

We just got back from Sandals Grande St. Lucia. Very happy with the resort. Very clean, felt very comfortable there with COVID. We were also on St. Thomas in January and that was incredible. Look into that | |||

That's a good one. The BVI is starting to open up a bit. My BVI preference would be the island of Anegada. No place like it. White sand beaches with the Atlantic on one side and the Caribbean on the other. Anagada Reef Hotel can put you up nicely. You fly into Tortola and ferry over to Anegada. When we sail down there we always stay two nights in that harbor. Anegada Reef Hotel Anegada Island is a very special place. And, not a lot of people to spoil the views.

Check out any of the islands on Florida's West Coast, from Cedar Key to Marco Island. Or, stay at one for a couple of days and drive to another. | |||
