20th Anniversary coming up, opinions appreciated!
20th anniversary coming up for my wife and I in October, looking for recommendations in the Caribbean.
Last AI we visited was 3yrs ago in Punta Cana—- was Grand Bavaro but is now JOIA Bavaro. We visited in the offseason and were def some of the younger couples there—it was very quiet during our stay. We loved everything about it except for the sargassum and lack of nightlife. Didn’t learn until later in the trip that we could go next door to a neighboring/sister resort with its own nightclub, casino, etc…. Not a huge deal and if we go back we will try visiting next door.
Sargassum is an issue for us as we love the beach and unfortunately it seems to be overwhelming in many popular resorts. In Jamaica (where apparently there is little to no sargassum) we are looking at Couples Negril, Swept Away, or Excellence Oyster Bay but also don’t know which way to turn because there are several popular and luxury/high end resorts in Isla Mujeres (which apparently has little to no sargassum.
We are early 40s , very social and good looking and looking for Adults Only, romantic, beautiful beach, upscale/luxury resorts that won’t break the bank. Excursions south as snorkeling/etc would be a plus but not mandatory. Obviously good food but food is subjective and what one person hates another may absolutely love. Lively pools and resort life but not a party resort. We are not a lifestyle couple but also are not offended by a lifestyle friendly resort. Once we see one we like it seems there are four more that get mentioned and it can be overwhelming.
Thanks to all in advance.
