Planning Trip With Wife - Jamaica, Cabo, or Other?

Posted on 1/22/19 at 8:39 am
Looking to make a trip to the Carribbean or Cabo in April 4 nights - 3 days (no kids). We are a 29 years old couple. Looking for an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica or Cabo but are open to other places within our price range. We are looking to keep it around $3,500 with flights. Looking for good food and good beach.
So far we have a few options we are looking at that seem to fall within our price range:
Jamaica - couples negril, Hyatt Zillara
Cabo - Pueblo Bonita, Sandos Finisterra, Riu Palace
Anyone have any suggestions from previous stays? Does anyone feel strongly on Jamaica Vs. Cabo? better beach? Any other islands/places we should closer at in the Caribbean that will fall within our price range?
Thanks in advance for any help!

The sand is Cabo is course and the water is very limited in safe places to swim, with that being said, Jamaica is a shite hole, but if you aren't leaving the resort you will be ok.

The wife and I enjoyed our Honeymoon at Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We stayed at couples swept away in Jamaica. Really enjoyed it, but we didn't leave the resort. I probably wouldn't go back to Jamaica.
Stayed at a condo in cabo called terrasol and cooked our own food and ate in town. Really enjoyed that too. Will definitely be back.
Also stayed at Zoetry in Isla Mujeres - definitely our favorite but lots of people don't reccomend all inclusive there and I can see why.

I stayed at the rui palace this past august.
For what I paid, I would do it again in a heart beat.
My fiance and I went, Im 28 and she's 26 ( we actually got engaged right when we got there. lol ), and we had a blast. All the food and alcohol one could dream of, plus it's super close to the city of Cabo. The staff was friendly and helpful as well.

I can't speak on Jamaica, but I have some experiences in Cabo. I've stayed at Sandos Finisterra and Riu Palace.
Sandos Finisterra- You can't beat the location. It is right next to the marina and the city center. It is much smaller than Riu Palace. If you are doing the all inclusive package, the food is pretty good. You can't swim on the beaches here, as the waves crash on the beach and the current is pretty strong at this part of the beach.
Riu Palace- This resort is much bigger and nicer than Sandos, but you will have to take a cab if you want to head to the marina or city center. Cabs are cheap, so it shouldn't be a problem. There's always a lot going on at this resort. You can swim on these beaches, but it is still risky because of the current. Another nice thing about this Riu is there is another Riu resort next door and you can get in there if you are getting bored with your resort.
I personally liked Sandos Finesterra more because it is more low key than Riu, so we got our drinks faster and the food was slightly better. I also liked the location, in that you can walk anywhere you would want to go with no problem.
