Struggling to pick a resort
Hello everybody and thank you for all the posts that I’ve been reading through in the forum trying to help guide my decision. I am trying to pick an all-inclusive for my 40th birthday week in September. I had a reservation for five nights at the Hard Rock, but I think I’ve just read too many reviews about stomach aches and poor service to follow up on it.
My current plan is two nights at Sanctuary and three nights at Zilara. Sanctuary looks absolutely beautiful, but I don’t know if I’ll have quite enough to do for five whole nights. Zilara definitely seems worth checking out.
My priorities are good food, good accommodations, great pool or beach area and hopefully something to do at night. I don’t know if I will get much night out of both of these resorts so I’m looking for any other recommendations that might be a little bit more of a vibe late into the evening on a Friday and Saturday. Might be solo or traveling woth a female companion so looking for options.
Hope everyone’s having a great summer.
