My husband said we could go to Hawaii when I got pregnant because when we were there for our honeymoon, we saw a TON of pregnant women. Now I am pregnant and I am ready to plan a trip.
I am only 6 and 1/2 weeks so I am probably going to go in August-early Sept. I think Sept for less of a hurricane threat. I am re-thinking Hawaii because I am on the East coast of the US and that is a LONG flight.
I want to go to the Caribbean. I have been to Aruba, Bahamas, Dominican Repub, Puerto Rico. I’d like to try something new. St John, USVI’s, Turks and Caicos, etc. sound cool.
All I want to do is lay on the beach & eat!
So my questions are:
Have you been pregnant and gone all inclusive? Is it worth it because we can’t drink and I am sure that is a lot of the cost they factor into the all inclusive price.
What locations do you recommend/have you been while pregnant?
Curacao has a low hurricane threat-have you been there and do you like it? I hear it is identical to Aruba

The best all inclusives I’ve ever gone to have all been in Varadaro, Cuba (we got upgraded to a suite both times I went when I was pregnant) but that won’t work for you since you are in the US. I would avoid Jamaica and Costa Rica, but most other Caribbean destinations are pretty good. St. Thomas is amazing, but I don’t know how many all inclusive resorts there are there and it’s pretty pricey. They do factor in alcohol with the price, but also all other drinks and food so it’s still worth it. Just make sure wherever you go to drink bottled water and don’t have ice cubes – it’s much worse for you to get food poisoning now than it was before. Where ever you go, I’m sure you’ll love it. Just watch the belly in the direct sunlight.

I’m planning my Honeymoon this July and I would like to go to Jamaica. I would like to stay at an all inclusive resort but there are several to choose from. Does anyone have any favorites or recommendations? Thanks

I agree with angelcoo. Grand Lido all the way! It’s in Negril. Here’s a great review.
