We've been to:
2010 Punta Cana-Majestic elegance
2011 Cancun-Live Aqua
2012 Punta Cana (again) Iberostar Grand
We are kind of running out of ideas, I know Jamaica will be the next choice but I love nice beaches too. And the beaches there don't flatter me to much. =/ But if I go in 2013, I would pick Iberostar grand Rose Hall or maybe Sandals Whitehouse.
I also was thinking about Aruba, beautiful beach but resorts are not as nice especially for the prices.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks
How about Bali Island? The place offers much of the luxury features you could avail and get in any tropic beach destination. Only it has more variety and set in most amazing part of the Bali Island beaches.
This summer I visited three very nice and exiting countries.
India: If you would like to have a cultural experience, go to New Delhi and stay at the "The Imperial" which is a 6 star hotel and experience the city. I loved it! Also visit Agra by train and visit Taj Mahal.
Singapore: It is like a mix of Miami and New York City, just a lot cleaner.
Tioman Island, Malaysia: True heaven on Earth! The island is BIG and it is not very developed, but it has some Luxury-hotels. The island looks beautiful with two mountains and a lot of corals with a beautiful amber-color.
Personally, I combined all these destination into one vacation and it worked perfect. Go to New Delhi first, than to Singapore and then to Pulau Tioman.
Paris is a NO NO!!!. I travelled recently and found the whole stay absurd and wanted to return asap. I found the people there rude, Ill-mannered, and rest of them are thieves. Theft has become a big issue where you won’t be able to step into a supermarket unless your belongings are sealed. During my stay saw an old lady getting robbed and non of the locals did anything to help her. The legal system in Paris is very weak. You will see people who travel in the metro (underground) without tickets jumps off from the ticket gates and no one bothers. If you really want to travel, be very careful from school children, pregnant ladies who are immigrants from other countries as they will be the majority who will be eying on your wallet. And also do not enter into conversation with them (they might ask for directions etc) that is only to steal your belongings. Do not carry a wallet in your back pocket. Be very vigilant who is near you. with all these it is very difficult to enjoy the time because it makes you so uneasy.
Another thing to remember is always carry a universal charger. In Paris the plug base has round pins.
COSTA RICA!! (:
Costa Rica has the best beaches in Central America, it is a tropical place..the weather is not too hot, not too cold. JUST PERFECT.
The people are really really nice, and educated. Costa Rica is ranked as the happiest AND greenest country in the world.
If you want to stay at a gorgeous resort, Deffinitely go to "Los Suenos Resort and Marina" I used to live there and the place is just like paradise. It's a huge five start resort. The best one in CR.
I AM SURE YOU WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH CR JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE DOES(:
Have fun!!!
Consider Mozambique's Baruto Archipelego, Zanzibar's Pemba Island, Lake Malawi, Madagascar or Seychelles ... You can check them all out at the links below.
Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient! Its stunning Victoria Harbour and The Peak have just been rated as Asia's No.1 skyline by a Japanese TV Station. A CNN poll also confirmed that Hong Kong is a must-visit in Asia. From Oct - May the weather and temperature is beautiful. English is an official language in HK.
HK has rich culture and history that give a perfect blend of the west and the east. Walk up the world's longest Escalator which begins from Central District and goes all the way up to the Mid-Levels. Along the Escalator you'll come across the early English settlement near Aberdeen Street, you'll also pass by Soho, South of Hollywood Rd, which is a very unique bar and restaurant street. Hollywood Rd is the famous antique street where genuine Chinese antiques and many old stuffs are sold.
From Causeway Bay - Central District - Tsimshatsui District - Mongkok District along the MTR (subway) route are where most of the fascinating shoppings, restaurants, vibrant night life and gorgeous harbour view lies.
If you like green, sea and nature, and are not in a rush in going to places visiting one of the outlying islands ie the Silvermine Bay of Lantau Island is quite relax and gives a completely different impression of Hong Kong than the one often see in pictures. Simply catch a ferry from the Central Pier right outside IFC Building. The ferry trip takes about 30 minutes, a very relaxed ride in the midst of a hustling bustling city.
Another beautiful scenic area is Sai Kung District, there're beautiful mountains, sea and a Seafood Street where you can handpick life seafood, have the restaurant cook them any way you like and enjoy it in front of the clear blue sea. There're many beautiful mountain trails in Hong Kong, a popular one that goes all the way down to Aberdeen from the Peak. It'll take more than an hour to walk down. In Aberdeen, (you could also take a bus in Central, Causeway Bay or Wanchai Districts to get there), lies the Chinese boat restaurant "JUMBO" in the middle sea which is awesome.
HK is renowned as the world's shopping and dining paradise. You can eat like a billionaires, in the same token there're many affordable places with unbelievable prices. HK has the cheapest McDonald's prices on earth. A Cantonese wonton noodle soup is only around US$2. A popular Chinese fast food chain all over the city, the De Coral Fast Food with combo meals under US$5.
Buying brand names and electronics are popular as the City boasts the only zero sales tax nor import tariffs in Asia, imported goods are at 20% - 100% cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Street vendors or flea markets is another interesting shopping paradise, they have all sorts of products selling at knockoff prices, eg the Ladies Street, the evening Temple Street vendors in Kowloon side, Stanley Market in HK side etc. Small street shops in Mongkok and Causeway Bay Districts may give you surprises too. There're also many street vendors located in inner side streets of Central District, Wan Chai District, near Johnston Road and Causeway Bay District that sell genuine factory exports left-overs at around US$5 for a branded T-shirt. Most prices are fixed, you may be able to bargain a few $ though in small shops and street vendors.
Everywhere in the City is well connected by its efficient and timely public transportation system, the MTR, big and mini buses. Cost is from under US$1 - $2 per ride. It's easiest to travel by MTR which runs pass all the central shopping and business districts, then either connect to a bus or walk to your destination. Separate fares are charged for each ride. Star Ferry that crosses the Victoria Harbour, and the Island Tram that runs from the East, Shaukeiwan District to the West, Kennedy Town of the HK Island are only US$0.3 per ride which is a must for tourists. If you like exploring on your own, simply follow the map, people on the streets always happy to offer directions. HK is one of the most foreigner-friendly cities on earth, plus lots of fun and excitement, visitors often find the place the most vibrant, exciting city that never sleeps, even when you get bored at 3 AM, you could go and have a drink in the bar or even have a delicious late snack. Convenience Stores are located in almost every corner of the main streets and are opened around the clock. The best of all, HK is extremely easy to get around being supported by affordable and efficient public transportation. HK people are very responsive and efficient in work attitudes that make shopping, dining or doing business a very wonderful experience. You'll also notice that the people will automatically stand by the side when walking up and down the stairs and escalators, not blocking those behind, which many Asian places are now following suit.
