Have some family and friends that went to Turks and said it was the most amazing place they've ever been. Especially the water. One of the few places down there I'm interested in going. It's nice. I went a long time ago and it was up and coming at the time. Not a whole lot there outside of the resort. It is a desert island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beautiful and we were allowed to go to other Palace resorts as part of our deal. Getting off the plane and travelling by bus to our resort and seeing armed guards/infantry type soldiers carry machine guns was an eye opener for my wife and I as we had never seen anything like that before. Our vacation went off without a hitch or problem but I highly doubt I'd go back again based on what I have heard and read. Cuba sounds decent but I highly doubt it would compare to what we experienced in Cancun? It was an awesome trip with tons to do if you wanted to. Not sure if Cuba is like that or not? Place I stayed at in curacao had a fence going into the ocean and a security guard with a guard dog at each end of the beach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rooms have their own infinity pool overlooking the bay. https://www.jademountain.com/ Looks like a beauty spot! This is the resort my wife and I went to. Likely lots has changed over the last 20 yrs but if I knew things were as safe as when we went, I'd go again in a heartbeat. Tons of stuff to do right at the resort like parasailing, Jet Skiing, catamaran rides, etc. https://www.transat.com/en-CA/hotels/moon-palace-cancun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest/most relaxing vacations I've had. Not all inclusive but a bunch of restaurants within walking distance down the beach. Snorkel right out the front door and sea turtles everywhere. Rent a fishing boat for the day right there too. Quick drive to Tulum to see the ruins, etc, etc. this is where we stayed: http://www.lascasitasakumal.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I honeymooned at Peter Island in the BVI in 94. Awesome place owned by the people who own Amway. (No I wasn't involved with that pyramid scheme in any way.) Fly in to Tortola then boat over. Only way in. Sadly it was completely demolished by a hurricane a few years ago. Not sure they are even open again yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'd do Jamaica again in a heartbeat. Our resort had a jerk chicken stand right on the beach and served it 6 out of 7 days. I had it every day they served it The Jamaicans were super friendly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it every day they served it The Jamaicans were super friendly too. 2 friends had a knife pulled on them while walking the beach with their wives one evening. The crook wanted their watch, jewelry and any money they had on them. The one guy, Kevin, spoke and said they didn't have anything so the crook took a swipe at him narrowly missing his gut. More people arrived on the scene also walking so the crook took off/ Police were called and a description was given and then next night, while all 4 were eating dinner, Kevin was called outside to identify the crook. Kevin said it was the wrong guy but he said by the looks of him, the police prematurely thought it was as they had already given him some street justice. I long forget what part of Jamaica they were in but it wasn't no 2-3 star resort. Neither has been back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America as a nation is the largest consumer of illicit drugs in the world. 95% of all cocaine produced outside of America comes through Mexico. They are also the largest foreign supplier of weed and meth to the American market. Literally only you could take that to mean ALL Americans are to blame.
