Caribbean Destinations

[hammondc]

Looking to take the wife in September or late August. Really, before hurricane season takes off. I know there is still a risk, but this is not a thread about meteorology :tu. Where are everyone's favorite destinations?


We have been to Cancun, Jamaica and Puerto Rico so I'd rather not go there. Prefer all-inclusive simply because it is easy.
We like the outdoor activities like hiking, golf, zip lines.
Wife won't snorkel or SCUBA dive so those options dont matter

Try Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Went there for our honeymoon on a cruise and really enjoyed them.

Hurricane season is June 1st to November 30th, peak season is August 17 and September 2. I would suggest Grand Cayman as a destination.

Chip, August/September are probably the worst two months for Caribbean hurricanes, with October a close runner up/tie.
Of the six months of the hurricane season, June and July are the quiet ones, along with November.

As for destination, I am going in a few weeks to Punta Cana, DR.
As far as your dollar goes, tough to beat.
Swim up room, all meals, all alcohol, all transportation, airfare, top 3 resort, all for $2,300 for two.
It will be my second time there in three years. People are amazing. Very relaxing.

Hmmm.....Maybe we need to rethink September. Where are you staying?

Majestic Elegance
They also have a sister property next door Colonial Majestic.
We prefer the Elegance.

I booked it via Liberty Travel for complete package.

You will not regret going here for about half of what it costs elsewhere in the Caribbean.

My wife and I was debating on this exact spot or a cruise. Cruise won out as we get to see a variety of islands. But if someone is looking for a resort I couldn't find a better deal with the great quality/reviews.

Sandals in Nassau is excellent, Chip...food, room, service, excursions.
