Vacation recommendations

[briezygator]

Hey all, DH and I are looking to take a mental health break from work and I was hoping to get some recommendations of vacation destinations and/or resorts. We're planning on going some time in early September. We did Sandals in St Lucia for our honeymoon and were thinking maybe something along those lines but are pretty open to ideas. Any input on good or bad spots is appreciated!

We went to sandals in Jamaica for our honeymoon, it was nice and we would go back. We also went to the majestic elegance in punts cana last year. it was so nice too. Would def go back there too.

We went to the Secrets Maroma last summer and loved it.

We just recently went to Dreams Riveria Cancun and it was awesome. It was our first time at an all inclusive, but everyone else in our group who had been before said it was the best one they'd ever been to.

We're lame. We haven't been anywhere good lately. I'll live vicariously through all of you.

All of those sound awesome (I'd actually looked at both the Secrets and Dreams resorts mentioned, glad to hear they were nice!). Would be a bit easier to plan this trip if DH was giving me some input. Seems like I'm always the one stuck planning the vacays (first world problems I guess, lol)

We went to Dreams Punta Cana in December and I have to say I didn't love it. I thought the restaurants were just OK and the layout of the resort was really annoying. Our room was SO far from anything. I had a friend who went to the Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana and raved about it. We went on our honeymoon to the Paradisus in Costa Rica which is now a Westin, I had another friend who just went there like 2 months ago and apparently it's still awesome. I loved Costa Rica.
If you are looking at Mexico, check out Aventura Spa Palace. I heard it's great.
