AI Resorts - Help!
I am trying to book my first AI vacation and am overwhelmed by the
different resorts. As best as I can figure, the major players a Club Solaris (Sandals, Beaches, Solaris) Super Club (Breezes, Grand Lido, Hedonism) Couples Riu Club Med How do the different brands vary within a family of companies? We are looking for an adult resort (not for the swinging but to get away from the kids). Travel will be in early April. Ideal attributes include tennis, good golf, good food, nice beach and ground level accomodation (as opposed to a hotel room in a tower). Any suggestions? thanks, Ian in Toronto |
Other AI chains include Club Robinson (German based), Club Valtur
(Italian based), Allegro Resorts, Mark Warner (Europe). Club Med is way bigger than any other chain. But I assume you are restricting the choices to the Carribean? FeAudrey wrote: In article , says... ... Ideal attributes include ... good golf ... Most AIs are watersports-oriented with maybe a little tennis. "golf", at an AI, tends to mean greens fees at a local course, sometimes transportation ("local" can be a pretty elastic phrase). Cart or caddy, equipment, instruction, etc, are extra. Club Med Sandpiper (in Florida, near Ft. Pierce) and Superclubs/Breezes Runaway Bay have 18-hole standard courses on site; Superclubs/Grand Lido Braco has a 9-hole par 3 on site (strongly recommended by players who want to work on their short game; instruction is included). An AI with a strong kids program is likelier to keep the little ones away from the adult areas than one without. Club Med Turkoise has a golf course across the street, it is not included in the resort. There are two courses in Cancun within easy taxi (or bus) of a bunch of resorts. Club Med and Mark Warner tend to emphasize sports; other resorts emphasize spa treatments, etc. |
I made this list years back, and I haven't updated it in a long time.
It is basically a list of adult only all-inclusives. If anyone knows of more, please post, and I will update the list. Thanks and Enjoy!

Our best experience has been with Grand Lido, Negril.
Hedonism is for young swingers. Club Med is ok, but we've never even thought about going back after 2 trips. Pura Vida, G "Ian" wrote in message ...
