Cancun, Dominican Republic or San Juan, PR?
Looking to take a 5 days trip but can't seem to make up my mind and pick one of these locations 🤦🏾‍♂️

What are you interested in?

As long as I have a beach. Anything don't really matter. I just need a break from my bedroom

Are you looking to interact with people? Have status with any particular hotel chains? Interested in any particular beach activities or food? If you’re mostly looking for a beach, I’d probably choose based on hotel more than location looking at where you have status and the cost and quality of different property options.

Go to culebra or vieques

I’ve been to DR and San Juan and DR has a nicer beach and more affordable all inclusive hotels. San Juan I did air bnb and didn’t enjoy the vacay as much as I would’ve doing an all inclusive or hotel stay

I’ve only done DR out of the three you mentioned and basically the entire place is filled with all-inclusive resorts. Some are nicer than others - all depends on how much money you want to spend. You can definitely get something really cheap for a week and still enjoy yourself. I’d recommend it.

Depends on what you want but I’d assume Cancún is the most affordable option and probably a shorter flight.

If you head toward Cancun, maybe do Tulum instead. Went 2 years ago and it was amazing, but not quite sure how Instagrammed-out is now with all the influencers.

All are nice, it is nice not having to change currency or worry about cell providers in PR. Cancun seems to have good COVID precautions, been awhile since I was in DR but I lean to the other two options.

City, Country, City. Donde en la República Dominicana? Santo Domingo? Punta Cana?

Friend just went to cancun and said she felt super safe. Got tested before leaving back to US but she didn’t leave her resort at all so minimal interaction with other people.

Go to PR - because you’re not leaving the country and won’t have deal with getting a negative COVID test before returning.

Tulum!

Why Tulum?
I just booked 5 nights there for June.
I'm looking for some sun soaking relaxation with SO. And, then some culture.

Been to all. Cancun easily

If going the all inclusive route, consider Mexico over Dominican. Better food and service

Definitely Cancun - easiest to get to/short flight/tons of resort options that are easily accessible from the airport.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
