Where is the best place to go (beaches and resorts) for quick Mexican Beach Vacation? My husaband and i are thinking about doing a quick weekend away in Mexico (we live in Texas) but we are particular in what we want that experience to be. So, our criteria includes- NICE sandy beaches (no trash) that are close to resorts and have AMAZING blue waters for swimming. Cocktail to beach waiters would be outstanding. We would prefer an ADULT town/resort or at least not too touristy or overrun with small children. We would maybe like to scuba, do quick day trips into a nearby town and more immortantly, be able to visit an ancient ruin. Please, if you have any ideas or can make city/hotel reccomendations we would really appreciate it!
How to find lowest discount price for Sandals or Beaches resorts? I'm looking into vacationing at a Beaches resort property in 2008. The all-inclusive Beaches resorts are part of the Sandals Resorts chain however Beaches resorts are geared towards families with young children. My question is: Where can I go to get the best discount pricing for a 1 week stay at a Beaches resort? For comparison, let's say I'm talking about 3/22/08-3/29/08 (7 nights) at Beaches Sandy Bay in Jamaica in a Luxury King Oceanview room for 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 5 and 1). As of 6/20/07... Beaches.com is $3944.50 (30% discount off of $5635 rack rate). Hotels.com, Expedia.com, and VacationsOnly.com is $5635.00 (after modifying resvn to 2 adults and 1 child age 5). AAVacations.com is $4508.00 or 563,500 frequent flier miles. I also tried Travelocity, Hotwire, CheapTickets, Priceline, Bookit, Site59, Kayak, Travelzoo, and Costco Travel. No luck. I need the help of all of you travel discount aficionados! How do I beat the price of Beaches.com? By the way, I'm looking for excellent discounts on the room only. I will use frequent flier miles for our flight reservations. Answerers 1, 2, and 4: The intent of my question is to seek information, not to seek requests for my business. I shall interpret your responses to mean that I might be able to seek a better rate from an independent travel agent. But wouldn't the commission be at most 10%? If so, then what type of deal can I expect to receive... 1 or 2% at the most? Please feel free to edit your answers with more information. Thank you. Update 6/21/07: Applevacations.com does not handle Beaches. I found that Funjet.com beats the price at Beaches.com. Funjet quoted me a price of $3,910.02. Thanks to jules for steering me towards searchalldeals.com. I see that it's a good place to go to find discount codes or current offers. Unfortunately right now there are no codes or offers for Beaches resorts.
Can anyone please recommend good beach resorts in St John, St Thomas or Puerto Rico? I am planning a vacation trip with my wife and would love to visit US Virgin Islands (St John, St Thomas) or Puerto Rico in mid Sept 09.

Why do resorts near beaches have pools? I just went to Los Cabos and stayed at the Playa Grande Resort and spa and it was beautiful. We had a great time, but I was wondering why they put in these fabulous pools when the ocean blue beach is only a few steps away? There were alot of people by the pool but the water and beaches there are so great why would you waste it at the pool?
Are the beaches and resorts around Tampa/StPete more "speedo friendly" than most places? I know that being in the United States they will not be as "accepted" as they once were 25+ years ago but will they be more tolerated than they are in the Outer Banks, NC or panhandle Florida or the Redneck Riviera of Alabama and Mississippi and generally everywhere inland US. I've read that America's largest nudist resort is in that area (which I'm not into) and as an effect make my swimwear of choice more accepting.

Problems with booking Beaches Resorts through Joy Star? Went online to Beaches Resort looking for family resort. Filed out request form. Form was routed to Joy Star. 3 people responded. One being the top sales person for Beaches. Independent contracted agent. She drives a Hummer in the Pasadena, Ca area with Beaches/Sandals on it. We are a week from leaving. We started almost a year ago to set this up. Yesterday we found that only the deposit was sent in and we have not received any material to continue our vacation and the rest of our money to Beaches has not been paid by this person. One family paid in full up front. The other two families have invested $1700.00. Last night we spoke to her and she was to return the call in 40 minutes. Never heard from her. She has already been brought into small claims court for similar instances. What can be done?

Disney World Resorts- Caribbean Beach Resort or Port Orleans? In looking for moderate resorts in Disney World, we narrowed it down to The Caribbean Beach Resort or Port Orleans (either French Quarter or Riverside. Not sure of which one though. Anyone know which is better?). We are not positive of which one is better. (The kids are teens by the way if that helps) We are partially leaning towards the Caribbean Beach Resort but still aren't sure. Any info or opinions anyone has would be great! It'd be even more helpful if you included opinions about the food and bus service at the two. Thanks!
