BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE BARGAIN?

Hi Folks,

I love my wife of 20 years very much. We live near Los Angeles and I
would like to continue life with her for another 20 and I would like to
express that to her by giving her a second honeymoon at the best
all-inclusive resort I can afford.
Several of you here seem to be travel wise about such places in the
Caribbean and Mexico. I know that she would prefer a place that is more
tropical than desert-like. We have been considering a cruise for some time
now, but most recently have turned our interests towards all-inclusive
resorts. My 2 questions a Is it possible to take a 7 day all-inclusive
for around $2500 or less (not including airfare) for the two of us? and if
so, where would most of you recommend as being the "Best Bargain"? If it
helps, we really enjoy good food and service (doesn't everyone?). We don't
have to have the beach to ourselves and crowds don't really affect us, so a
place that caters specifically to tourists is ok. We might enjoy some
snorkeling or consider a casino or club visit and we enjoy bargain shopping
as well. Any comments about any resorts you might have will be appreciated,
either pro or con.

My sincere thanks, S.B. Foster
