Thanks for the answers, I appreciate all your input. Family of 5 - Mom/Dad/3 boys (11,9,7). Want a beachfront all inclusive resort in Costa Rica for a week next June. Any thoughts/recommendations about Allegro Papagayo, Doubletree Puntarenas, Flamingo Beach Hotel, Barceló Langosta Beach, Barceló Tambor Beach? Never been to Costa Rica. The bottom line is...I want easy and quick access to the beach and I don't want to worry about cooking or figuring out where to eat. We are looking to be taken care of with a nice/clean room, but not pay an arm and a leg for it (like the Four Seasons).

Where is a good all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica? My fiance and I are trying to plan our honeymoon. We want good food, nice beaches, and fun activities like hiking in the rainforest and such.

Your favorite all inclusive resort in Costa Rica? In the Northern Pacific region..... I heard this area is a little drier since we will be traveling down there in October. I was looking into Barcelo Tambor resort but it's like 4 hours from San Jose Airport. We wanted to cut some of our commute time so we are thinking of flying into Liberia. Anyone been to any resorts/hotels in the North Pacific region? It's hard to tell how they actually are just by going online and looking at pictures. Looked at the Flamingo beach, Langosta beach and a few others. I'm interested in the Playa Paradisus... looks really nice, but is it really worth an extra grand? Going on a honeymoon so I'm not traveling with children.

Traveling to Costa Rica June. Is this a good time? What is a good all inclusive place to stay? Me and my family are thinking of traveling to Costa Rica in late June early July.

My brother and I want a clean beach to snorkel and hang in the water, a hotel semi close to town so we can go to clubs at night and close to the airport. We also want to do a few things on the island: Nature walking, see some waterfalls, go shopping a little bit. What is the best semi cheapest but Nice all inclusive hotel to stay at? Any suggestions on what we should do while we are there?

Where is a good place to stay in Costa Rica? I would like to stay at a 4-5 star all-inclusive resort with an amazing beach that is close to a lot of day trips that I would like to do like; Rainforest Cloud Forest Hot Springs Waterfall Nature Cruise Wetlands Volcano Zip Line

cancun or costa rica in July? I am planning to take my Mom for a nice vacation (kinda Mother/daughter thing). The timeframe is July 1-18th. I am currently thinking between Cancun or Costa Rica. We are not the type of people who would be happy just spending this whole time at one resort, wetbars and spas. Ideally I'd love to combine a few days on the beach/snorkeling etc with some adventure tours - see Mayan ruins, or going on nature tours. Since I am travelling with Mom, adventure has to be safe :) Neither of us has ever being to Mexico or Costa Rica, so any advice will be useful. The biggest concern is rainy season/hurricane season, and also what to do. In Cancun -with day trips to Mayan ruins, horse riding, cenotes, etc - is there enought to do for 18 days? Is it better to stay in all inclusive hotel? In Costa Rica - how rainy is it and what is the general advice you'd give? Thanks in advance :)

Caribbean All-inclusive suggestions? My fiance and I are planning a destination wedding for Feb 2010. We're having the HARDEST time finding a good AI (all-inclusive). We went to Costa Rica back in August and LOVED the resort (Paradisus Playa Conchal) but think it's too expensive for most guests. Can anybody recommend a nice AI in the Caribbean? A couple of the things that we really liked about the Paradisus that we don't want to settle on is that they didn't charge for the in-room safe and dining at the a la carte restaurants was unlimited (could go every single night, not just 3 times a week or something). We'd certainly like to keep it under $1500/week/person. There will be at least one teenager coming so it can't be an adult only resort (but I don't want costumed characters running around my wedding either). The RIU chain has been suggested, we've also looked into the Gran Bahia, Breezes, Beaches. I would like to hear first hand experiences or new suggestions though. Thanks for any help! Oops, forgot to say that Mexico isn't an option!

WHat is Costa Rica like? My bf and I are planning a trip somewhere for one week in the middle of May. We are looking at Costa Rica as a possibility. We found a couple all inclusive packages to Liberia (Allegro Papgayo or Villas San Tol). We are just wondering what the weather, beaches and crime, wildlife and food is like there. Is it a good place to visit?? Has anyone stayed at any of the two resorts and if so how were they?

Which Caribbean island should we visit? Or should it be Costa Rica? Or? My husband and I are looking to go to the Caribbean next month. Neither of us are much for just lounging in the sun and I will be about 3 month pregnant by then so partying is out as is diving, zip lines, and other such activities. We are laid back outdoorsy camping types, into photography and want both beach and rainforest. I am leaning toward St Lucia (and have looked into Guadalupe and Dominica but they don't seem as easy to get to). We don't want to go to a fancy, big money spending place or like a Spring Break or Hollywood vacation spot- just normal. I would like to avoid places I have been already (USVI, Bahamas, Jamaica) and Puerto Rico is probably too American. We are also looking into Costa Rica. We would like to keep it reasonably priced and aren't sure all inclusive is necessarily worth it for us (it seems it costs about $100 per person per day and I just cant see eating $100 worth per day- you almost have to drink your money's worth). Also we don't want to spend the whole trip at a resort- we want to get out and explore! Okay, I am being sold on PR a bit now... plus it's a lot cheaper to fly to and get good nonstop flights, or early arrivals...but would love to hear more from people...

Looking for some nice family vacation destinations that are all-inclusive.? Just came back from Cancun (Grand Oasis Viva Beach resort) and it was OK; the weather was great, but the hotel was NOT a 4 star; food was average. I am looking for some resorts that have lots of things for kids and tweens to do. I would be interested in maybe Jamaica, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, or other places that are not so commercial.

Which destination would you recommend? My boyfriend and I are planning on going on vacation at the end of March. We want something different from the "popular spots" like Jamaica, Dominican, Cuba and Mexico. We are looking into St. Lucia, St. Martin, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Barbados, etc. We want beachfront and a very nice resort. Preferably all inclusive. I'd like somewhere that has nice scenery and isn't just beach, although the beach is most important. We are planning for this to be a "romantic" vacation. Could anyone compare these or have any inside advice on details to do with these destinations? Thanks!

Caribbean vacation suggestions? We were thinking of going on a vacation to the caribbean and are having trouble choosing an island. We know we don't want to stay, or go to mexico. And we we deffinatly want an all inclusive resort. [we don't want to nessessarily be doing just resort activities though] We also want an island that along with all the beach and water stuff has other things like maybe jungles to zip line or something like that [st.lucia and Costa rica are out] any other suggestions?
