There are many reasons to explore beyond San Juan and truly discover everything Puerto Rico has to offer. This Caribbean island measures approximately 100 by 35 miles, so in a couple of hours, you can drive around the whole island, but allow yourself plenty of time to discover its six different regions. Each one has a unique identity featuring local cuisine, diverse cultural activities, tourist attractions, adventure tours, and more.

Rich in history, cultural diversity, and nature at its very best, it’s no wonder that Jamaica is referred to as “The Heartbeat of the World.” The very mention of this island paradise conjures up images of romance, with its sprawling beaches, tranquil Caribbean waters, lush tropical landscapes, and spectacular sunsets, making it an ideal spot for weddings and honeymoons. Add to that its sunny climate and vibrant nightlife, and you’ve got a unique destination that truly has it all.

The “Home of Rhythm and Sway” has friendly island hospitality down to a science. Nothing is a problem here, where soft reggae sounds harmonize with waves lapping on the shoreline, the Blue Mountains tower over verdant plains, and 10 championship golf courses with breathtaking views invite visitors to get into the swing of things. From its famous meat patties and jerk chicken; to some of the most celebrated rums, liqueurs, and coffee in the world, the cuisine of Jamaica is nothing short of amazing.

Jamaica hotels pioneered the all-inclusive vacation concept in the 1970s, and while operations have been redesigned since the pandemic, the heart of the all-inclusive model hasn’t changed. The luxury is still there—but more innovative. The recreation is still there—but safer. The selection is still there—but with a focus on hygiene. And even though new sanitation requirements are rigorous, they’re also unobtrusive. Travelers continue to get that vacation feeling they’re accustomed to. Plus, with reduced occupancy, stays feel more private and services more white glove, actually enhancing the experience.

Home to a modern international airport, Montego Bay is perfect for short stays and extended trips. The Hip Strip brings a festive vibe, the Rose Hall Great House contributes legend and culture, and rafting down the Martha Brae adds the thrill of adventure. On the north coast, Ocho Rios draws visitors to Dunns River Falls, where they can climb the falls and swim in natural pools that drain into the Caribbean. The Cool Runnings Dunns River Day Cruise makes even getting to this iconic site fun. Thirty minutes from Runaway Bay is Nine Mile, the birthplace of Bob Marley, with a mausoleum dedicated to this musical icon. On the island’s western tip, Negril, the “Capital of Casual,” beckons visitors to the white sands of Seven Mile Beach. Discover the “Capital of Casual” on the Negril Beach and Sunset Tour, with ample time to swim, shop, visit Margaritaville, and end the day at Rick’s Cafe to witness locals diving from 35-foot cliffs as the gorgeous sunset illuminates the horizon. Exciting excursions are available from all the resort areas, and in most cases, guests are picked up right from their hotel lobby!

So whether you want to enjoy exhilarating adventures or simply relax to the max under the tropical sun, the proud and friendly Jamaican people are waiting with wide smiles to welcome you back to their island home.

We’ve talked about the food, and we’ve talked about the beach. Now let’s take a look at the grounds of the beautiful Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort. You’ll find touches of romance everywhere you look and plenty of places to relax and soak up the sun.

Of course, the day I was taking most of these pictures was rainy! Just my luck. But the sun did clear after only about an hour of actual rain, and the next day was bright blue skies. You’ll see a mix of sunny and overcast pictures below!

Let’s start with the little touches of romance and happiness you’ll find throughout the resort.

You’ll find plenty of hammocks to relax, take a nap, read a book, or enjoy the Caribbean breeze.

This was the view from the hammock. I relaxed on it while the rain came through. It was lovely!

The Main Pool was lively and fun, with great bartenders and afternoon activities.

The Main Pool looks so cool at night, and there is often evening entertainment in this area. Check out my Chocolate Martini! I enjoyed it while waiting for that evening’s show, which happened IN the pool. It was so cool!

There are two quiet pools. One is located very close to the Main Pool. You can still hear the fun happening next door but in a more relaxed setting.

The other quiet pool is located farther away and is called the “Lovers Pool”. And look — it’s shaped like a heart.

You can enjoy massages at the end of the pier during the day.

You’ll find lots of fire pits located throughout the resort. They are great places to relax during the day and come to life at night.

Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort has beautiful grounds, a stunning beach, over-water bungalows, and delicious food. This week I’m going to take you on a little food tour from my recent visit.

Our first night was an amazing alfresco dinner at Gordon’s Over the Water Restaurant. Gordon’s is the most upscale restaurant at Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort.

Here is a view of our seating area. There is also covered seating, but I was delighted to watch the sunset and dine under the stars.

My appetizer – Pan-fried Scallops. These were amazing, and the portion was much larger than I’d expect at an All-Inclusive Resort.

My entree was the Surf and Turf, and this one really blew my mind! I am typically a light eater, but I finished the entire dish.

I had the carrot cake for dessert, and it was the perfect way to end this wonderful meal.

We had a cocktail reception before dinner, walked along the beach to have dinner on the pier. The sunset was spectacular!

I had a light breakfast at Toscanini’s. My favorite part was the iced coffee. I realize iced coffee may not seem very exciting, but most of the time, when I’m at an All-Inclusive resort, and I order an iced coffee, I am brought hot coffee that was poured over ice and immediately melted. At Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort, the waiter brought me an actual iced coffee. I could tell the coffee had been chilled, and the ice didn’t melt. It’s the little things in life that make us happy!

I ordered the Smoothie Bowl for breakfast. It was tiny but very delicious.

I was extremely excited to have lunch at the Jerk Shack. It smelled so good every time I walked by. I finally had the opportunity on my last day. But sadly……..

…it wasn’t good. I ordered the Jerk Pork, and the flavor was just not there. Also, the pork was extremely fatty. I literally left after 2 bites.

But the good news is Dinos Pizzeria was just a few steps away! The pizzas are sized for 2 people to share. As I was traveling solo, I decided to eat my half by eating only my favorite part of the pizza — the middle. The joys of traveling solo!

The kind waitress brought me a crepe, and I did have a few bites. WOW! It was seriously one of the best crepes I’ve ever had! I wish I had started my meal with the crepe!

Dinner at Bombay Club was my favorite. The food is all small plates designed to share. Luckily, this night I was dining with two other Travel Advisors and my host at Sandals.

These were just the appetizers! And there are a few you can’t see in this picture. I was so excited, and I totally forgot to take pictures of the entrees. But trust me, they were good! We were all too stuffed to order dessert.

Barefood by the Sea was one of my favorite spots. Your feet are in the sand, and you can’t beat that view.

I ordered the Popcorn Shrimp Salad, and it was perfect. The salad was crisp, and the dressing was light. And who doesn’t love popcorn shrimp?

The morning I departed, I ordered room service to enjoy breakfast on my balcony. The iced coffee was not as good as the one at Toscanini’s, but it was ok. Luckily I asked for extra ice, so I made it work. The oatmeal was delicious. I asked for a “side of eggs,” but as you can see, they sent a full meal with hash browns and bacon. Ahhhh, the All-Inclusive life!

I’ll end with a picture of my first glass of wine, which I enjoyed from the open-air lobby overlooking the ocean. I want to point out that I am a bit of a wine snob, and oftentimes at All-Inclusive Resorts, I don’t drink much wine because the house wines aren’t that great. But the Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort had the absolute best house wine I’ve ever had. Below is the Sauvignon Blanc, my favorite.

Mexico has always been one of the most popular vacation destinations. Not only for the beautiful beaches and Mexican hospitality but also because it is easy to get to from the United States.

Last week I showed you some of the most popular eco-friendly resorts in the world. But not everyone can easily get to Costa Rica or Antigua. Our friends at The Compass have put together 6 of the most popular, eco-friendly, and sustainable All-Inclusive Resorts.

The first resort on the list is one of my own personal favorites – El Dorado Royale, by Karisma. Karisma Resorts are known for their gourmet food experiences, and much of the food for all of the Karisma Resorts is grown right on El Dorado Royale’s grounds at their greenhouse farm. You can ask to take a tour of the greenhouses, so if you are a true foodie and care about the environment, El Dorado Royale is the perfect All-Inclusive vacation for you!

Check out the Compass’s full article to learn about 6 of the most impressive, eco-friendly resorts in Mexico.

Some call it sustainable travel. Others call it eco-travel or responsible travel.

This type of travel supports the management of resources to fulfill economic, social, and aesthetic needs while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity, and life support systems.

Read more in this article from our friends at The Compass about this super hot travel niche and 7 of the world’s most eco-friendly resorts.

I had the pleasure of spending a few days at the Sandals Grand St. Lucian Resort, and it was amazing! I have pictures of food, rooms, restaurants, and more. Today I’ll show you the beach of this Instagram-worthy resort. The sunsets are spectacular!

This resort has a long beach with plenty of hammocks along the way to relax and enjoy the view.

The sand was lovely!

During the day, you can get a massage at the end of this dock. At night, it turns into a lively place to have drinks and sit by the fire.

Barefoot by the Sea – have lunch or dinner with your feet in the sand and stunning ocean views.

Those chairs are just asking to be on Instagram!

Two angles from my oceanview balcony.

STUNNING SUNSETS!

Located on a stretch of white sand beach and Caribbean Sea approximately 45 minutes from Cancun, Hotel Xcaret Arte will open its doors on July 1st with 900 suites, nine restaurants, a spa, five distinct immersive cultural experiences, multiple pools, and expansive events and convention facilities.

The new luxury resort is an adult-oriented resort welcoming guests 16 years and older, and it is designed and built by 100% Mexican talent and infused with passion and respect for the surrounding Mayan region. In both form and function, the resort pays homage to Mexican art in its various iterations and will highlight the most important symbols of the country’s culture through the creation of five distinct Casas. Each Casa will be inspired by Mexican traditions and provide guests with the opportunity to explore and engage with the country’s heritage and nature. The Casas include Casa del Diseño, a textile workshop offering weaving lessons, Casa de la Música with dance instruction, Casa de los Artistas will inspire guests to paint, Casa de la Pirámide will explore Mexico’s rich and diverse pottery traditions, and Casa de la Paz, with cooking workshops specializing in vegan cuisine. Additionally, Casa del Patrón will serve as the resort’s main event and convention space.

Hotel Xcaret Arte will also feature Grupo Xcaret’s All-Fun Inclusive® concept, offering resort guests unlimited access to seven renowned eco-adventure parks – Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xavage, Xoximilco, and Xenses, as well as its Xenotes and Xichén tours. Each theme park will transport guests to the natural wonders of Mexico’s extraordinary Yucatan landscape to create unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories.

Hotel Xcaret Arte also boasts nine culinary experiences by some of Mexico’s most renowned and world-class chefs. Dining concepts range from pre-Colombian dishes to regional Mexican recipes, and from ancient Mayan cooking to contemporary vegan. Additional restaurant concepts include cultural fusions of Mexican traditions with Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Mediterranean, and more. The list of chefs includes Michelin-starred Chef Paco Méndez, who will oversee signature restaurant “Encanta.” Jonathan Gómez Luna, the award-winning chef, will oversee “Chino Poblano,” a culinary concept that combines the cuisine of China and the state of Puebla with a fun and sophisticated culinary touch. Mexico’s most well-regarded chef, Ricardo Muñoz Zurita, will delight the most demanding palates at “Xaak,” which celebrates indigenous foods from the Yucatan Peninsula. Additional renowned chefs include Alejandro Ruiz, a master in Oaxacan cuisine; Chef Roberto Solis, creator of the newly inspired Yucatecan cuisine; Chef Miguel Bautista with sensational vegan cuisine; Chef Orlando Trejo a master in comfort food; renowned Italian chef Franco Maddalozzo, who will fuse the flavors from both the Mediterranean and Mexican coasts; and Chef Luis Arzapalo, who will showcase the best of oriental culinary arts.

Ten bars and lounges spread throughout the property from poolside to rooftop feature fresh, local ingredients in custom cocktails for a range of high-end contemporary mixology experiences. Speakeasy bar “Deseo,” a hidden and cozy space will delight guests with live jazz entertainment.

Hotel Xcaret Arte will also be the center stage for big events and celebrations, offering two Convention Centers and an entertainment stage that can host between 1,140 and 2,065 people, respectively. Additionally, the resort is home to an oceanfront Ecumenical Chapel offering different types of ceremonies for up to 120 guests.

Muluk Spa, an indulgent and mystical wellness center surrounded by the iconic coves of Hoteles Xcaret, features a plethora of treatments and facilities, including a variety of hydrotherapies, flotation spas, mudrooms, and vapor treatments. In addition to an Alchemists Studio where guests are invited to create their oils, scents, lotions, and potions, making their Spa treatment a personal and unique experience.

Do you want to make your travel experience easier? Apply for TSA Pre Check!

I’ve had TSA Pre Check for years, and I can’t imagine flying without it. It eliminates the stress I used to feel going through airport security. And I’ll do anything not to have to take my shoes off in public!

Our friends at The Compass share some TSA Pre Check Basics to help get you on your way to never having to take off your shoes again!

TSA Pre Check Basics

TSA Pre Check is a program that gives travelers leaving from the U.S. access to an expedited security screening program at the airport. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent U.S. residents can apply for the program and undergo a screening process to become a “trusted traveler.”

Perks of TSA Pre Check

Anything to make your airport experience better is worth it, right? And probably one of the least enjoyable parts of air travel is the security process. TSA Pre Check pretty much eliminates that less-than-desirable part by giving trusted travelers these perks:

1. Expedited security screening – There’s a shorter line for TSA Pre Check members. The average wait time is less than 5 minutes!
2. Less to do to prep for security – You don’t need to take off your shoes, belts, or light jackets, and you can leave your laptop and liquids in your bag.
3. Share it with the fam – A parent or guardian with TSA Pre Check can bring family members ages 12 and under along with them in the expedited lanes.

The Pre Check Process

It’s really not that bad – just three steps.

1. Travelers can apply online on TSA’s Universal Enroll Pre Check page. The application has four sections, and it’s mostly basic information to help TSA verify your identity and citizenship.
2. Next is to schedule the in-person appointment for a background check and fingerprinting within 45 days of completing the online application. The appointment can be made online or by walking into a TSA application center. This TSA web page lets you enter a zip code, city, or airport code to help you find the most convenient one for you.
3. And then, at the appointment, which TSA says only takes 10 minutes, applicants must bring the required documents and provide their fingerprints. There are some options to determine what type of documents are acceptable, but TSA has a helpful web page to help sort it all out. It can be as simple as just a valid driver’s license and passport if the names on both documents match – that’s it. Then the applicant pays a non-refundable fee of $85 that’s valid for five years. That’s $17 a year – less than a tank of gas nowadays!

After an applicant is approved as a trusted traveler with TSA, they’ll get a Known Traveler Number (KTN) in the mail within two to three weeks. You can enter your KTNs for each traveler when booking your flights. So make sure to give your Travel Advisor your KTN!

Here at Must Love Travel, we’ve spent the last year creating a weekly video series called Must Love Travel Chat, focused on one simple theme — what’s going on in the World of Travel!

We started by talking about the current state of travel, certain destinations and countries that are welcoming back travelers, and some of our favorite resort brands. As Universal Orlando and the Walt Disney World Resort reopened, we had many chats with Travel Advisors who had recently returned from their own vacations and were excited to share their experience.

While we will continue to do all of this, we have also added some exciting talks with representatives from some of our favorite Suppliers, such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival. We’ve covered private island tours and focused on new ship features and destinations.

We’ve also done a lot of crossover with Rick Howard from the popular Travel With Rick vlog! And there’s a lot more of that to come, so stay tuned!
