My wife and I got to experience the adult only Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  We had already stayed twice at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso in Mexico so we had really high expectations.  It only took about 15 minutes for us to realize we were in for another amazing trip with Iberostar.   The check in process was fast and the staff was eager to give us a quick tour and then our butler showed us around our suite.

The Lobby and the grounds were gorgeous.  The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs and the swim up bar is super.  The common area is fairly small so it easy to get around.  Everything was in one area so no long walks and of course no waiting in lines.

We were in an amazing Oceanfront Suite and the view of the white sand on Rose Hall Beach was beautiful.  We spent early mornings and late evenings enjoying our view on our huge balcony complete with outdoor furniture.  Next door is the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach and the Iberostar Rose Hall Suites.  You can use the facilities at these hotels as well.  They are both family friendly and are wonderful properties.

As with all the Grand Paraiso hotels the food was superb!  We ate surf and turf poolside for lunch each day.  The beach and pool waiters would actually go over to one of the ala cate restaurants and bring us whatever we wanted.   Our favorite restaurant was the Japanese but they were all delicious.

The event staff seemed a little eager to get us all playing games during the day and at times were a bit annoying  but once they realized we were at the pool to relax they were fine.  The evening shows were excellent and they had a bunch of activities going on throughout the day.

The hotel was very convenient to the “hip strip” in downtown Montego Bay and it only took us about 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport.  Iberostar has done it again but this time in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  Come experience something truly amazing and book your next trip at the adult only Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall.

Unfortunately mother nature isn’t checking your calendars or maps, but according to the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory hurricane season was officially over November 30th!! Do you know what this means? It means lets leave those heavy clothes at home and let’s get somewhere we can wear the bare minimum and feel great!! Vitamin D is the winter’s best remedy.

With the threats of hurricanes and tropical storms in the past, now is a great time to pack your bags and head to paradise. December travelers heading to the Caribbean or Mexico can look forward to daily temperatures ranging from lows of mid 70′s to highs of mid 80′s. You mostly have sand, sea, and sunshine.

The Caribbean’s high season heats up right before Christmas and lasts through April, so be prepared to make your travel plans well in advance to get the best rates. Looking for that awesome holiday vacation that everyone will remember? The Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa or the Ocean Blue in Punta Cana would be a top choice for adults and children. After Christmas is ideal if you want to go at a quiet time, because children are in school and a more romantic atmosphere prevails. The Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro, adults only, can give you the extra TLC you need after those long hours in the office. For those adults who just want to have fun just like the kids, try the Secrets St. James or Secrets Wild Orchid in Jamaica.

My wife and I had been to all the Hawaiian Islands and stayed in Cancun at the Ritz but had never done an all inclusive vacation before.  We called Dream Vacations and got a great deal to the Allegro Playacar in the Riviera Maya of Mexcio.

We arrived at the Allegro only to find out that they had overbooked and wanted to move us next door.  I told them I would not like to move so they kindly moved the couple behind us.  Next door is The Royal Hideaway,  one of the top rated All Inclusive hotels in Mexico!  Whoops, should of said yes.

Our room was fine nothing too fancy but clean and functional.  The pool was beach front with a swim up bar.  It was a little small but very nice.  The buffet restaurant was good and had a lot of options.  The snack bar was a little limited but we enjoyed eating poolside.  The beach was excellent and the hotel has a great location.  You are right in Playacar minutes away from 5th avenue.

Since my trip to the Allegro I have been to many higher rated all inclusive hotels and paid a lot more for them.  When it comes to all inclusive travel you get what you pay for.  There are no tricks, if the hotel is more expensive it is probably better.   To this day I loved my trip to the Allegro  Playacar.  Great beach, clean rooms,  swim up bar, good food and drinks located minutes from 5th Avenue.  It was an awesome vacation.  Do not overlook the value in some of the 3 and 4 apple hotels.
