Taking a trip but can't decide where...been to Varadero, Cancun and Bahamas. How's Dominican or Jamaica?

We’re going to the Mayan Riviera for the 3rd time! Love it there. You get the best bang for your buck there I think.

Puerto Vallarta would be a good option. Jamaica is nice too however I prefer Mexico. More to do. Jamaica is a bit more expensive. Fewer unique excursions. If choosing Jamaica, pay attention to cruise schedules as excursions can get crowded. Appleton rum tour is nice and different waterfalls.

Jamaica has great food, great music, great rum and local beer, and awesome locals. Just sayin
(we head there Friday to get married!)

And you have picked a great resort!!!! I highly recommend Jamaica. It's my favourite

We got married in Jamaica 23 years ago yesterday, the people there are beautiful as they truly made it special!

Dominican is a lot better than Jamaica IMO (been to both).

I’d definitely pick Jamaica over Dominican - but only been to both once - so not an expert...

Jamaica is awesome. Went to Montego Bay in October

We stayed at Secrets last year - love, love, love.

Have you considered Costa Rica? It's beautiful here right now!!! Lots of things to do and see or be as relaxed and do as little as possible! I have two condos for rent in playas del coco which is about 20 minutes from the Liberia airport. Message me for more details!

I have thought of Costa Rica. It just comes down to overall cost

Hillary Davis I have friends arriving today that found tickets for $550 round trip!

Love, love, love Costa Rica but we found it was pricier! - but so worth it!

We just got back from our trip to Jamaica and it was awesome! We didn't do the resort thing, we rented a car so we could explore on our schedule and we stayed in airbnbs. The only thing I didnt like was the never-ending hustling... Worse than I've experienced in any other country. By the end we barely noticed though lol

Super different kind of locations. Are you looking for all inclusive or condo? Do you stay on resort or like to tour around ? Any concerns with zika ?

Jamaica is our favourite. After going to Jamaica we said we’d never go back to Mexico again.

Jamaica is amazing but don’t cheap out on the hotel. Busy large hotels like iberostar have crowded beaches and loud guest areas. Best places I’ve stayed is Couples and Sandals resorts. Worth the extra money per person.

Spent time in Jamaica a couple times on a cruise. If you stay in a resort I'm sure it would be fine. Vendors are very aggressive and it can be scary in parts.

Love love Dominican. Very reasonable tours. We stayed in Peurto Plata.

Haven't been to Dominican, but loved Negril, Jamaica. Didn't stay in an All Inclusive, but we were fine walking everywhere and into town, even at night.. Lots of fun being on the beach, eating patties, watching people and just taking it all in. Not a cheap destination, though, as they mainly use US $ as currency these days.

Following

Jamaica - Runnaway bay or Ocho Rios areas for All inclusive or Port Antonio for a quieter but more pricey experience. Very welcoming and lots to do and food is sooooo good. Been to Negril, Kingston as well.

Porta Plata Dominican Republic is my second favourite

Jamaica
