Puerto Vallarta was dreamy. We went to someplace else IX...?? in Mexico -- it was an amazing spa retreat and we got to float down a real life rainforest lazy river. I have to look up the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2017110 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:47:18 +0000 Tidybee 2017110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2017077 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:39:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2017077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prob when we went to an all inclusive in cancun.

Thanks for the recommendation. We were also considering Shoal Bay Villas.</p> <p>Last time we stayed at Frangiapani (amazing, but definitely for adults) and a bed and breakfast I can not remember the name of but would not really recommend ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016990 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:58:27 +0000 PawPrints 2016990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: Carimar Beach club. Full suites with kitchens and living rooms right on the beach. Sooo nice. If you go, get a table at the restaurant Jacala a short walk down the beach, it's incredible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016978 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:50:12 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2016978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: Where did you stay on Anguilla?

Not glamorous, but it is hard to beat a week waking up to a view of the water and a slow paced day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016912 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:06:16 +0000 Corduroy 2016912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only been to one, Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun.

Such gorgeous tranquil beaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016885 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:44:51 +0000 TravelBee 2016885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: I second Fiji!</p> <p>Blue Lagoon Beach Resort on Nacula Island in Fiji was by far the most relaxing vacation spot I've been to. The beach was gorgeous, the food was fabulous and the scuba was to die for. Take me back. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016860 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:34:05 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2016860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to an all inclusive in Fiji on our honeymoon and that was amazing. There really is nothing to do there except relax and eat and drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016846 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:26:48 +0000 MrsB2012 2016846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For resorts, the Sun Palace in Cancun.

I didn't mean to sound negative; we really did have a lovely time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016833 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:18:04 +0000 lamariniere 2016833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the week we spent in Ko Lanta in Thailand. It wasn't a fancy resort, but we didn't need much more than the beach, the hotel pool and our rental tuk tuk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016832 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:17:34 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2016832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anguilla in general and the rennaissance Mai Khao beach, phuket Thailand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016827 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:14:35 +0000 psw27 2016827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Capella Pedregal in Cabo San Lucas for our honeymoon and it was amazing.

Might've been the times we went, but it was quiet, relaxing, and we loved the down time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016822 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:12:42 +0000 coopsmama 2016822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daisyfay: I've been to Mexico 6 times and have seen many different resorts and I agree - Casa Velas is formal and other resorts are a lot more fun! But in terms of relaxation and peacefulness it's my favorite! I think it's all about what you're looking for. :)</p> <p>The Chiang Dao Nest in Thailand is another gorgeous relaxation vacation spot I've been to and loooooved. @MrsMccarthy: made me think of it by bringing up Thailand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016813 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:09:53 +0000 looch 2016813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were in Malaysia, my husband booked a castaway picnic for us...we were literally the only people on that island that day, we travelled there by boat, got dropped off and then were picked up 4 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016805 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:08:14 +0000 coopsmama 2016805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: oh haha that's what I meant, geez, mental lapse moment! ;) Typing too fast while watching young children haha! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-relaxing-vacation-spot-youve-been-to#post-2016795 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:02:57 +0000 daisyfay 2016795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent half our honeymoon at Casa Velas last year and while we did really enjoy our time there, we thought it was a little overly formal (my husband REALLY resented the fact that the only restaurant open on the main property at night required closed-toe shoes for men, LOL) and had almost TOO high a staff to guest ratio. But it was really beautiful and the food, pool, and golf (I am told) were great. I think we would have liked it more had we not gone off-season.</p> <p>We spent the other half of the honeymoon at Dreams Nuevo Vallarta and we actually preferred that despite not being adults only - more food options, more modern rooms, beach right there, etc. We are already looking forward to going back when the baby I am currently gestating is old enough to take part in the childcare program. </p>
