M Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm heading to Costa Rica soon - in a few weeks... will report back ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Cleveland Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I hate Jamaica with a fiery hot passion. And I was getting paid good money to be there when I went.Then again I wasn't in the confines of a resort. All-inclusive resorts make no sense to me. Seems like expensive jails for tourists.ADFuckin' A Right! I went there for a week, and couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there... I also was not in a resort, though, sometimes while trying to hang out on the beach I wish I had been.S/C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Go to Costa Rica.Lots of accomodations great food clean water and you could do both coasts in two weeks. Don't do the tourist jail,you will get sick of buffets and rum punch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Costa Rica is the bomb....amazing people, beautiful suroundings and pretty cheap. I have been there twice, and would love to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 no costa this year i don't think... too hard to stay only a week! a cheap one-weeker in cuba sounds pretty darn good, especially when it's -30 out here. i've never done an all-inclusive, but i'm willing to give it a shot...don't think i'll get tired of drinking and swimming in one week.

Ms.Huxtable Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I've always wanted to go to Jamaica. Good weather, music and 420. The comments in this thread have me thinking otherwise. Damn I thought that would have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I've always wanted to go to Jamaica. Good weather, music and 420. The comments in this thread have me thinking otherwise. Damn I thought that would have been great.The crime-rate in Kingston is increasing at an alarming rate. CityTv did a one week profile on Kingston's crime/murder/drug/poverty problems. They also had an informative story on tourism to Jamaica. One thing I remembered from that piece was that tourists are approached as they leave their plane by hard-core drug dealers.

AD Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Jamaica is one of the poorest and most violent countries in the Americas. The cities are dangerous, the roads are bad, the beaches are good if you don't get hustled, and things aren't that cheap. The people are rude and aggressive.There is some fabulous scenery, but if you get out of your car to take a picture you'll most likely get approached for some sort of scam.As for the 420 comment: If you get caught, say goodbye to your loved ones forever. Very harsh penalties for that stuff down there.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Perfect! That would seriously cut down on the amount of time it would take to get to the hills and find a Rastafarian to hook me up. I just love when it's delivered.

AD Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 ..... but man is the music good and loud!! I went to a party down the street from my hotel where they were blasting some wicked dancehall stuff for about 48 hours straight (when I say loud, I mean a rack of bass speakers about 20 feet wide and 15 feet tall).Then the people running the party told me I should leave if I wanted to live. But the music is awesome.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 i don't know specifically about all inclusives, (i stayed on a boat) but the british virgin islands are one of the most beautiful places i've ever seen. and there's a very low crime rate, so you don't have to worry about leaving your hotel and exploring the island.

rubberdinghy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Cuba was a good deal all around for sure...with one tiny exception...The food at our resort wasn't the greatest, we had one person go down for a couple of days from eating lobster on a mysterious island. but you could live off the lunch BBQ and the hotdogs and fries....or find Pizza-Nova!!!I would go back for sure!
