Guy and I have been racking our brains for the past week trying to decide where to head for our vacation this summer. We had planned on Mexico until this came out and actually said “several may die, hundreds will be arrested…” Um, no thank you!
Our only real desire is to be on the beach somewhere. We want sun, sand and water. We don’t care about sight seeing or activities, just relaxing somewhere beautiful. The problem is that there are so many places to choose from and each of those places have several resorts and it is difficult to make a decision. Plus, I am a big Trip Advisor fan and it seems like every time I find a lovely place, I check there and I see several entries from people who have been and had a horrible experience. I think the best way to get information about a place is not by the website, but by the people who have been there.
So please, help us out. I’d love to know the vacations spots you all have been to or heard great things about from a friend. Hopefully I can come up with somewhere by the end of the week so we can finally book our trip.

I just got back from Puerta Vallarta Mexico and had an amazing time. It’s beautiful there. All of the resorts have high and tight security…but even when we went off the resort into the towns we felt completly safe.

I went to Cabo San Lucas Mexico from October 18 – November 3, 2008, stayed at the Riu Palace – it was heaven! We hardly left the resort in 16 days, and when we did we felt totally safe. I am a total tripadvisor.com junkie as well. Good Luck!

I know you said beach and sand. But we went on an Alaskan cruise and it was awesome. We went dogsledding on a glacier, did a ropes course, and a horse carriage through Victoria BC–it was awesome. We also spend a couple days in seattle prior to leaving–so if you want a beach alternative…

Have heard great things from a friend about Cabo San Lucas.
Hope you guys find a great getaway spot!

We went to Punta Cana a few years ago for our honeymoon and LOVED it. We stayed at a resort called Mela Caribe I believe. It was really nice and I would recommend it.

Puerto Vallarta is amazing, but if you want to skip mexico…Then Puerto Rico is sooo gorgeous. I just love it!
