My husband and I have an opportunity to go on a vacation this Fall for about 5 days without the kids. Any recommendations? We don't want to go somewhere too family-oriented this time.  Thanks!

| St. Bart's or Cabo. They have great resorts that are def not kid friendly. |

| Most islands have many resorts that are no kids- I;d avoid the lower end all inclusive since that attracts families. Go tto frommers.com or fodors.com and read their review on each island and decide which ones suits you- then search for a place.. have fun! |

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Turks and Caicos-Parrot Cay--you feel like you should be running around in a loin cloth , it's that exotic. But...make sure you really like exotic because it's not a nightclub place--very quiet,peaceful and tropical. And...kind of cool that you may see Jlo running around the place --maybe by then she will have her bikini body back since she goes there along with Cristi Brinkley and Bruce Willis.

I highly recommend La Casa Que Canta in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Very romantic and secluded...and relaxing. We didn't see one child in the 10 days we were there!

| You should check out the Royal Hideaway Playacar in Riviera Maya, Mexico. It's easy to get to (you fly to Cancun) and it's adults only and a very upscale all-inclusive (fabulous food and high end liquor). We went last year and had an amazing time. |

| We went to Playa del Carmen in Mexico - near Cancun. It was an all inclusive resort, no children. Beautiful, affordable. Tripadvisor helped me out in choosing the destination and resort. |

I love Cuisinart on Anguilla. We've been there twice and I don't think we've ever seen a child? (could be selective memory) Anyway, it's breathtaking.

| OP here: Thank you for all the suggestions. It was so nice to log-on here today and see such great ideas. |

| Rock House in Jamaica. Beautiful and serene; a far cry from the all-inclusive scene. www.rockhousehotel.com |

| I second the Royal Hideaway in Playacar. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and loved it. Very luxurious. |

| If money is no object, the Ocean Club in the Bahamas. There's direct flights, which is a plus. |

| re Cuisinart - my friends went there two Thanksgivings ago with their then 8 month old. Not that it still wouldn't be nice, but kids do go there! I saw pictures, it does look beautiful! |
