Spring Break
-
I am trying to plan a spring break trip...i am stuck deciding between Cabo San Lucas, Mexico or Negril, Jamaica. Some friends down here have said they heard jamaica was dirty. I was wondering if anyone here had any experiences with either places. I wouldn't mind having some people from this board come with me and probably nick(98exaccord). If you were to go what would you pick? The week that we are planning on going is March 12th-19th. I would be looking at getting an all-inclusive trip with a VIP party package and possibly a meal plan to have as much of the cost known up front. Let me know.

Ixtapa (sp?) Mexico....just because I said so.

Puerto Vallarta is a good time, never been there for spring break though.
Are you looking to party or just get away? If its partying you seek S Padre Island would be fun as well. If you're looking for someplace different just to relax I'd recommend Aruba or Barbados in the Carribean.

I would be, but unfortunately my vacation this year will involve me floating around on a big ship in the Carribean for a week and I can't afford 2 vacations. -

There's a lot to see and do once you get there. The cruises are fun (casinos, lots of food, nightclubs, etc...) kinda like a big floating party city.The tropical Isles are just interesting to me, I enjoy seeing the culture and traditions of the islands. If you get an all inclusive package everything that you do, eat or drink while @ the resort is included in the price. Once you leave the resort to do other stuff it costs money though.

I don't want to come across like one other person on this board who only talks about all that he has, and how much $$ he has or how bright he thinks he is (when we all know its bullshit), but I've been lucky enough to see a few "hot spots" over the past 10 years...
Sydney AUS (2x)
Hawaii - Oahu including North Shore and Maui (2x)
Cayman Islands
Jamaica
Cabo
Puerto Vallarta
Miami Beach
Key WestHere are a few thoughts:
If you're looking for all-inclusive, you can usually get a good deal with Sandals, it takes some haggling, but they do move on price. If you're going to Jamaica you'll need to pick the spot. Montego Bay is fine, the water is good, but the city isn't too safe for clubbing. The beaches are average or below average. It was cool for my wife and I just to hang out by the pool and drink all day, so we didn't need a hot night life. Negril is a little better party scene, but the drive there from the airport (in Mo Bay) is freaking scary. The beaches are better than Mo Bay
Cabo has a pretty good nighlife, but the water isn't so great, its warm, but not very clear. Cabo is in a little "bay" but still, the water on the west side of Mexico is a little dirtier than on the east side. Plus, Cabo is safer than Jamaica.
If money isn't a huge issue and you not looking to party too hard, I'd choose Cayman or Maui. If you want to party, still be safe, and enjoy good clean water, and something that's not really expensive, I would suggest Cozumel \ Cancun.
Good luck, sound like fun!
