If you do DR, la romana beaches are nicer than punta Cana

Maybe aruba? Or antigua not sure if direct but looks nice

Iberostar has a great adults only property in Punta Cana. It’s next door to their main property. Above average food for an all inclusive, great drinks, and very quiet. If you want the casino and entertainment you can go next door.

OP. No sh!t. I’ve been to AI before. I don’t care for it but decision fatigue is real and why don’t care?

Anyway, now that Trump has INVADED Venezuela we won’t be going anywhere in the near future.

Book a room and spa treatment at the Landsdowne resort in Leesburg.

Somewhere in Dominican Republic. Look for adults only.

I think the St. James Club on Antigua has an AI option, but it’s a schlep to get there.

Bahamas (Baha Mar) and Grand Cayman (Westin or Kimpton) are easy flights.

There was a major marketing push in the late 90s that portrayed it this way. But the reality is that all major resorts have a plethora of eating options, bars, water sports, etc.

There’s this subsection of folks who think that no AI could possibly have good food or drinks— they must all be filled with uncouth rowdy crowds with no taste/tastebuds— but the reality is that there are all kinds of AIs catering to a wide range of people and offering different experiences.

+1

The Caves in Jamaica.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba, or Rosewood Mayakoba.

Yes.

And clearly OP was asking for folks to recommend some of them.

You can still travel. Stick with the closer islands, the Bahamas or Turks. Try Parrot Cay in Turks--it's on a private island and you can get a package that includes meals.

Yikes. You nasty! Sounds like Sandals would work.

Take a 3 or 4 night cruise out of Fort Lauderdale or Tampa (or even Miami).

Cruises are the easiest vacations.

If you want quiet, just stay away from Carnival, Norwegian, MSC, and Margaritaville.

Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, etc. will be good. Virgin as well (adults only). Get a balcony cabin.

W or Westin Costa Rica are both all inclusive I believe.

Except people go missing or turn up dead or get drugged. Punta Cana isn’t what it once was. Try Puerto Rico.

Secrets Playa Mujeres was wonderful, adults only, all inclusive, easy flight from DC (my top vacation priority), and I thought the food was great.
