  1. Check out these resorts:

    *Belize - Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn

    *Costa Rica - Waterfall Gardens

    *Punta Cana - Natura Park Beach EcoResort

    *Antigua - The Verandah

    *St John - Maho Bay Camps

    *Dominica - 3 Rivers

    Most of these are not All-inclusive - except for Natura Park.


  2. The english speakng island of Dominica (n.b it is NOT the  spanish speaking Dominican Republic)

    Dominica is in the Eastern caribbean.

    Why I suggest Dominica to u?

    1.Safe .rated as the 4th most peaceful place in the world.

    2.No high rise 5-star hotels. The island emphassises on ecotourism therefore accomadtions are NOT large scale but rather smallscale environmentally friendly and nestled in peaceful areas such as the mountain tops and near rivers etc.This also means that if you were to goon an organised tour with the hotel the touring groups wont be large considering they dont accomdate a large amount of ple at any one given time.(As to the prices you can check via the officla website which would give you links to the various hotels' websites that will contain more info besides pricing such as location and what not)

    3.There is no other island that can rival our prestine well preserved natural beauty and unique sites.So uch so it is dubbed"The Nature island".There are 365 rivers freshwaterlakes dozens and dozens of waterfalls spotted all over the island..It is the most mountainous with peaks reaching almost 5000ft.etc ect ..i will lav ethe video in alink below for u to fully comprehend tsi islnd which i can barely describe on this.

    It was the beautiful island Pirates of the Caribbean 2&3 were filmed.

  3. The Mexican Riviera is a very beautiful area. All hotels are 3-stories and under (by regulation). It is safe to leave, go on tours, go out to restaurants...walk the avenues after dark.

    Playa del Carmen in the Rivera Maya is a great place with Ave 5 being an pedestrian only street filled with nice shops, excellent food and friendly people. This area is truly an international mecca.

    World Famous snorkeling and scuba diving just a ferry ride away from Playa to Cozumel...the 2nd largest reef in the world after the Great Barrier Reef.

    Not into that...no problem how about swimming in the underground rivers...cenotes. Incredible! Fresh water and salt water with incredible fish and other marine life.

    You will not be far from the Mayan ruins of Tulum or Chichen Itza. Close is cenotes, Xel-ha, Xcaret and other wonderful areas.

    Want an incredible resort to loose all your worries at?

    Check out this resort! It is a favorite of many.

    Hope this helps!

  4. The right place for you is the USVI or BVI. You have nature and you have lovely unspoiled beaches. On St John you have no high risers. It's mostly government park land and they keep the island in pristine condition. No all-inclusives on these islands except on St Thomas you have a few.

    Two other places that would fit your requirements is Cozumel and Punta Cana Dominican Republic. They have some very nice all-inclusive resorts. Here are a couple of websites to research.

    Good Luck and hope you find your dream vacation spot)

  5. Come to Barbados! It's a beautiful small island in the Caribbean. Our largest building is only 6 floors and there aren't much high rises.

    I've stayed at the Almond Beach Hotel, its all-inclusive and great. You might want to check it out. I'm not sure what you're budget is so I can't really suggest anymore. Search the net and you're sure to find great offers.

    Tip: stay on the west coast. The beach there is the best and its quieter though farther away from the airport.

    Hope you come!

  6. Tobago has won the World Travel Award for best Eco destination in the world three times in a row as well as the Caribbean Travel Award for #1 Eco destination in the Caribbean.

    There is the FootPrints Resort that caters to nature lovers. It is in a heavily wooded area, the atmosphere is unbelievable. there are nature trails, bird watching, rivers. U will love it!

  7. best place is the dominican republic
