Palmaïa, The House of AïA, is a very highly rated, 5 Star, wellness retreat in a private corner of Playacar Beach, Playa del Carmen. It only opened its doors in late 2019 but, despite this woefully unlucky timing, it has quickly created a buzz on the Riviera Maya and beyond.

Couples only all inclusive resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica - Couples Sans Souci.

Couples Sans Souci

The wonderful Couples Sans Souci is a five-star adults-only all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Though the resort is very large it has only 150 suites so never feels crowded, and the atmosphere is warm and personable.

Mountain bikes are provided by the resort. There you can spot all sorts of tropical flora and fauna and the resort … READ MORE HERE
