Voting Question: Have you been to Montego Bay, Jamaica?

And if so, what did you think of their beaches/ocean? I have been to Jamaica 2x and stayed in Ocho Rios and the ocean both times (once in Jan and another time at the end of March beg of April), the ocean was not blue, more of a brown/blue (a little muddy), definitely not clear. Water activities got canceled a few times. My girlfriend and her husband went to Montego Bay in Feb and the same thing happened to her. My cousin along with a bunch of other couples and myself and husband want to try Jamaica again (at the Secrets Wild Orchid resort, it's opening in March) because I've been elsewhere (Bahamas, Aruba and Mexico) and Jamaica is most fun and affordable for all. If the ocean is not going to be nice, I don't want to risk it again. Oh let me mention, we want all inclusive and adults only. more

Resolved Question: Aruba - which hotel is best?

Resolved Question: Destination Wedding Questions?

Hi there, My fiance and I have started planning our wedding..well thinking about it. We would love a destination wedding in the caribbean. I'm thinking Turks and Caicos, Aruba, St. Lucia etc. We also have a 3 year old daughter so we would love family friendly resorts that have a lot of activities for kids as there are young children in both our families. I spoke with a travel agent and absolutely fell in love with Beaches Resort and Spa in Turks and Caicos...I can only imagine how much this place would cost! I don't want to have to ask my guests to dish out $2000. Here's my question, have any of you planned a destination wedding? Where do you start? How does the whole booking start with a travel agent...do you have to pay them while they look for deals and try to get a solid price for you? How does that work? Also where have you gone and how much did you and your guests have to pay? What is the proper etiquette, who do you invite? I imagine for us it would be a small gathering, I don't want anything extravagant just a nice wedding on a beach and a dinner with close friends and family. Please let me know, I'm not sure how to start this at all....lol Thank you! more

Resolved Question: How to have fun on a family vacation?

I just learned today my family is going on vacation to Aruba in April. The hotel we're staying at is fairly small. If I remember right, there are 8 buildings, each 4 floors.

Anyway, do you have any tips for me to meet a guy to have a little "thing" with while on vacation? By the way, I'm 14. Please do not lecture me. I will not be having sex with this guy.

I've been too several of the Caribbean islands & Mexico (Aruba, St. Lucia, Bermuda, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Cozumel, Cancun, Playa Del Carmen) & have always stayed at all inclusive resorts & love them; particularly the adult only ones.
