To vacation in Puerto Rico or Cancun or elsewhere?

Question

In 2010, my family is coming together for a reunion. We're trying to vote on a destination. Destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean seem popular.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of costs to vacation for a week in Puerto Rico against Cancun, Mexico? How about Acapulco or Cabo San Lucas? Dominican Republic? Anywhere else?

We're looking to vacation in mid-July/June and stay for 6-7 nights. All-inclusives (and I mean everything,including alcohol) are being highly considered.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Cabo San Lucas is the best.

that's why all hollywood choose their for vacation or honeymoon.

Answer 2

Puerto Rico is the place to vacation it have everything, pretty beaches, historical sites, rain forests, mountain resorts, islands you can go to within Puerto Rico. The food is awesome and the people is great. Hotels are a bit expensive but they offer a great service. Unfortunatly there is only one all inclusive resort the Gran Melia Puerto Rico, is a beutiful resort a bit expensive but great. In Puerto Rico there are lots of malls, Plaza Las Americas, the largest in the caribbean. We have lots of american stores and lots of native stores also. You can find all kinds of food puertorican and american.

However if you are looking to party, drink and eat for free in a young atmosphere you can go to Cancun or Dominican Republic. Acapulco is beautiful also but is more expensive. Dominican Republic is great for all inclusive but you cant go far away from your hotel, because most of them are located in very poor citys with criminality and not that much to see. In Mexico there are lots of places to go and beautifull beaches also. The only problem with Mexico that I had was the criminality and corrupt cops. They stop you and ask you for US Dolars.

If I were you and had the money I will go to Puerto Rico and get a tour of the whole island, mountains, beaches, camping, shopping and experience the beautifull culture. No passport, US Dolars, American Laws, and more secure.

If you are on a budget then you should definitly go to the Dominican Republic.

You could also consider a Caribbean Cruise all inclusive and you see most of the caribbean islands. Or even a cruise in central america.
