Hubs and I have a chance to get away for 4 days/5 nights in May (F-Tu). We want to go someplace warm where we don't need to do a lot of planning and just relax. We would like to fly from IAD direct to a Carribean island (not interested in PR). Can you recommend a resort in Bahamas, DR or Jamaica? Has anyone stayed at the Hyatt chain and how was it? Not interested in VBRO or Air BnB. Thank you! |
Why not Mexico? Playa Mujueres? |
If you don't need a beach with sand, I can highly recommend The Caves in Negril, Jamaica. https://www.thecaveshotel.com/
You can't be nervous with heights or have mobility issues or dislike steep stairs though. |
Baha Mar, but the Hyatt will have more kids. Easy option from DC with a non stop via American form DCA. Book dinner now. |
Couples Swept Away. Adult-only, all inclusive. They have a few resorts in Jamaica, but we like the Negril one best.
Direct flight into Montego. And you can drink the water (unlike DR and Mex). |
Half Moon in Montego Bay. I don’t usually recommend MB but half moon is lovely and close to the airport. |
Apparently not the rui resorts in DR according to reviews on the thread about a missing person that was recently in off list forum. |
I would avoid DR like the plague. Isn't this the same island where people died from food poisoning and also carbon monoxide in their hotels (different instances)? |

Half Moon is wonderful. I like the old cottages right along the beach. Meal Plans are great. Food great. |
If you are a Costco member, go through their travel dept. You'll get all kinds of credits and upgrades, won't spend a lot, and have Costco support if anything goes wrong |
+1 I would not travel to the DR. Too many other good options out there that do not share DR's problems. |
Riu Republica!! /s |
Couples in Negril was great for this. You do have a bus ride once you get in country, but we found it to be smooth and it was great once we were at the hotel. |
Any interest in Cancun? |
