The bottom line is...I want easy and quick access to the beach and I don't want to worry about cooking or figuring out where to eat.

Where is a good all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica? My fiance and I are trying to plan our honeymoon. We want good food, nice beaches, and fun activities like hiking in the rainforest and such.

Your favorite all inclusive resort in Costa Rica? In the Northern Pacific region..... I heard this area is a little drier since we will be traveling down there in October. I was looking into Barcelo Tambor resort but it's like 4 hours from San Jose Airport. We wanted to cut some of our commute time so we are thinking of flying into Liberia. Anyone been to any resorts/hotels in the North Pacific region? It's hard to tell how they actually are just by going online and looking at pictures. Looked at the Flamingo beach, Langosta beach and a few others. I'm interested in the Playa Paradisus... looks really nice, but is it really worth an extra grand? Going on a honeymoon so I'm not traveling with children.

Thank you.

How is the language barrier in costa rica? I only speak english and was considering going to costa rica to see the waterfalls and volcanoes and hang out on the beach. I was looking at pictures and it seems beautiful. So do you think I would be okay to go without speaking the language or should I maybe think about taking this trip next year after I enroll in a spanish class or 2. What should I see in costa rica? (specific hikes, volcanoes, waterfalls) was thinking about staying in an all inclusive resort. Does anybody know of other places in which have beautiful waterfalls? Places that are reasonably priced Hawaii is expensive I live in pennsylvania I was thinking of comming anywhere between 6 and 12 days. Not exactly sure just yet. Its still 5 months away. i plan on studying up on a little spanish in the meantime. What part of costa rica would you recommend. I was thinking guanacaste because it seems to be safe for american tourists. Any excursions you would recommend?

Looking for an all inclusive honeymoon this summer.? I am getting married in February, but we are going to do our honeymoon in the summer (I am in the Army). We are leaning towards an all inclusive resort so we know exactly what we are getting. White sand beaches, good resteraunts, drinks, night life, scuba, and water sports (really want to try kite surfing). If I could afford Tahiti or Bora Bora I would but thats a bit much. Right now were leaning on Costa Rica Thailand, but I haven't found any all inclusives in Thailand. Any suggestions would be apreciated. Thanks

cancun or costa rica in July? I am planning to take my Mom for a nice vacation (kinda Mother/daughter thing). The timeframe is July 1-18th. I am currently thinking between Cancun or Costa Rica. We are not the type of people who would be happy just spending this whole time at one resort, wetbars and spas. Ideally I'd love to combine a few days on the beach/snorkeling etc with some adventure tours - see Mayan ruins, or going on nature tours. Since I am travelling with Mom, adventure has to be safe :) Neither of us has ever being to Mexico or Costa Rica, so any advice will be useful. The biggest concern is rainy season/hurricane season, and also what to do. In Cancun -with day trips to Mayan ruins, horse riding, cenotes, etc - is there enought to do for 18 days? Is it better to stay in all inclusive hotel? In Costa Rica - how rainy is it and what is the general advice you'd give? Thanks in advance :)

Caribbean All-inclusive suggestions? My fiance and I are planning a destination wedding for Feb 2010. We're having the HARDEST time finding a good AI (all-inclusive). We went to Costa Rica back in August and LOVED the resort (Paradisus Playa Conchal) but think it's too expensive for most guests. Can anybody recommend a nice AI in the Caribbean? A couple of the things that we really liked about the Paradisus that we don't want to settle on is that they didn't charge for the in-room safe and dining at the a la carte restaurants was unlimited (could go every single night, not just 3 times a week or something). We'd certainly like to keep it under $1500/week/person. There will be at least one teenager coming so it can't be an adult only resort (but I don't want costumed characters running around my wedding either). The RIU chain has been suggested, we've also looked into the Gran Bahia, Breezes, Beaches. I would like to hear first hand experiences or new suggestions though. Thanks for any help! Oops, forgot to say that Mexico isn't an option!

WHat is Costa Rica like? My bf and I are planning a trip somewhere for one week in the middle of May. We are looking at Costa Rica as a possibility. We found a couple all inclusive packages to Liberia (Allegro Papgayo or Villas San Tol). We are just wondering what the weather, beaches and crime, wildlife and food is like there. Is it a good place to visit?? Has anyone stayed at any of the two resorts and if so how were they?

Which Caribbean island should we visit? Or should it be Costa Rica? Or? My husband and I are looking to go to the Caribbean next month. Neither of us are much for just lounging in the sun and I will be about 3 month pregnant by then so partying is out as is diving, zip lines, and other such activities. We are laid back outdoorsy camping types, into photography and want both beach and rainforest. I am leaning toward St Lucia (and have looked into Guadalupe and Dominica but they don't seem as easy to get to). We don't want to go to a fancy, big money spending place or like a Spring Break or Hollywood vacation spot- just normal. I would like to avoid places I have been already (USVI, Bahamas, Jamaica) and Puerto Rico is probably too American. We are also looking into Costa Rica. We would like to keep it reasonably priced and aren't sure all inclusive is necessarily worth it for us (it seems it costs about $100 per person per day and I just cant see eating $100 worth per day- you almost have to drink your money's worth). Also we don't want to spend the whole trip at a resort- we want to get out and explore! Okay, I am being sold on PR a bit now... plus it's a lot cheaper to fly to and get good nonstop flights, or early arrivals...but would love to hear more from people...

Looking for some nice family vacation destinations that are all-inclusive.? Just came back from Cancun (Grand Oasis Viva Beach resort) and it was OK; the weather was great, but the hotel was NOT a 4 star; food was average. I am looking for some resorts that have lots of things for kids and tweens to do. I would be interested in maybe Jamaica, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, or other places that are not so commercial.

Which destination would you recommend? My boyfriend and I are planning on going on vacation at the end of March. We want something different from the "popular spots" like Jamaica, Dominican, Cuba and Mexico. We are looking into St. Lucia, St. Martin, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Barbados, etc. We want beachfront and a very nice resort. Preferably all inclusive. I'd like somewhere that has nice scenery and isn't just beach, although the beach is most important. We are planning for this to be a "romantic" vacation. Could anyone compare these or have any inside advice on details to do with these destinations? Thanks!

Caribbean vacation suggestions? We were thinking of going on a vacation to the caribbean and are having trouble choosing an island. We know we don't want to stay, or go to mexico. And we we deffinatly want an all inclusive resort. [we don't want to nessessarily be doing just resort activities though] We also want an island that along with all the beach and water stuff has other things like maybe jungles to zip line or something like that [st.lucia and Costa rica are out] any other suggestions?

I have a dilemma!!!!!? So its my hubby and I 5 yr anniversary this year and I want to go to the beach an all inclusive resort not many in the United States so I want to go to Costa Rica or Jamaica only thing is my husband wasn't born here and he has misplaced his green card so he cant get a passport so where can I start to get this thing in motion so my hubby can get his stuff start and we can get passports to get out of here for a little vaca..

Where to go for a Caribbean Vacation? So my boyfriend just won a trip for 2 to a Caribbean location of our choice. The problem is, we can't decide where we want to go! Our choices are: 1. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. 7 night all inclusive at a 5-star resort with an Eco-Caribe Tour to learn about the local ecosystem OR an Outback Safari excursion. 2.Caribbean Cruise. 7 night, outside cabin room with excursion to Castaway Cove in St. Thomas. 3.Montego Bay, Jamaica. 7 nights all inclusive at a 4-star resort with a Blue Jeep Safari and Dunns River Falls excursion. 4.Varadero, Cuba. 7 night all inclusive at 4.5-star resort with room facing the ocean and a Seafari catamaran excursion to Cayo Blanco where we can snorkel, swim with dolphins, have a meal of fresh lobster and fish, and explore the island. 5.Liberia, Costa Rica. 7 nights all inclusive at 4-star resort with Whitewater rafting or ziplining in the Rain Forest. I was kind of leaning towards Cuba because I hear they have the best beaches but the rumour is they are experiencing some more polical problems... We have not been to any of these places so all input, advice and opinions are welcome and appreciated! Thanks!
