Looking for recs for a Jan trip to somewhere warm for 6 adults

I mean pretty obviously somewhere in the Caribbean or Central America would be easy.

Hawaii, South Pacific, Australia etc if you want to spend a lot more and go further.

Caribbean and Central American destinations can depend largely on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.

Antigua, Barbados, Nevis, St Kitts, USVI, BVI

Something in that region. Looking for recommendations.

Do yall want to sit on a compound or do you want to go somewhere where you can do shite and meet people?

Yeah, do y'all want to sit on a nice beach, drink, and soak up some rays, or do you want to go hiking, snorkeling, tour historic and cultural sites, etc.?

Secluded beaches don’t sound appealing. Id rather be around people.

Sounds like St. John in the USVI would be perfect for you. You can hike and snorkel at the National Park and hit up a different beach every day. You can also wander around the old sugar mill ruins for the historic part of your trip.

I think y'all would like Barbados. I'd stay at the Hilton or Radisson on Carlisle Bay. It's just a perfect beach, with great snorkeling from shore or a short boat trip, with wrecks and turtles. The Hilton is closer to the wrecks and the better snorkeling, but I think the beach near the Radisson is a little prettier.

You can tour the house where George Washington lived as a teenager, see Harrison Cave, tour a rum distillery, visit a botanical garden, etc.

Barbados is safe and has a great culture. I'd really enjoy going back.

St. John and if you bring passports you can daytrip to some of the BVI.

Thks Lemmy!

Take into account the season as well; there are many places in the Caribbean I can't fly to from Houston without going through Newark during certain months. I know it's ridiculous, but it's something you have to pay attention to. IAH flies *everywhere* direct in Central and South America, except when it doesn't.

You really don't want an adults trip to the Caribbean to turn into a trip to Europe with layovers, etc. Nonstop or bust. For you people from LA, that means you hit IAH, HOU, or MIA to connect, and that is it. Tops.

At least three of you need to sign up for Priority Pass, so you can get drunk in a lounge before getting on the plane (assuming 1 guest per member.) You get that with certain credit cards (Chase Ultimate, etc). Do not buy drinks on the plane. Do not buy drinks on the plane.

There will be beer when you land. The bus driver to the resort will offer to stop to buy you beer in most countries on the way to the resort.

Tip whomever your beer dude/chick is heavy the day you get there, and they will move other people off the schedule to make sure they have your beers ready at the beach when you arrive (h/t my friend from WBR.)
