My husband and I are wanting to take a relaxing vacation where we can lay

have good food and is it a nice place?
We went to a travel agent but she was really no help. She gave me a Apple
vacations book with all inclusives in it.
We would like to spend no more than 3500 that's including airfare from
northern california.

Please any ideas. I would also consider Jamaica.

Thanks

I was checking this resort out last year and while searching on the
internet I found out that a little boy had drowned in an unsafe pool at
that resort. It doesn't appear to be just an internet rumour as it is
listed on the U.S. Government web site
http://travel.state.gov/family/famil...death_594.html (look
for Mexico, and April 26, 2003).

More info on his tragedy can be found here http://www.brentmidlock.com/

I have not found any information from the hotel's point of view but
since the U.S. Government recognized it as unsafe pool conditions, that
was enough for me to not want to go to that resort, especially having a
child of similar age.

By the way, Jamaica is awesome. The food there is great, the water is
safe to drink, nice white sand beaches, warm sea water, friendly people.
We had a super time there.
