Sometimes,  looking for romantic adult getaways can help you and your special someone reconnect. There are lots of different options out there. You can visit a tropical locale or hunker down in a cozy winter cabin. No matter what your tastes are, it isn’t hard to find great getaways for you and your partner. Here are a few places to look for a romantic vacation that is sure to make both of you happy.

How to Find Romantic Adult Getaways:

Look for Couples-Only Resorts – Kids are great, but you don’t want to be surrounded by them when you are trying to have a romantic weekend away. There are plenty of resorts all over the world that only cater to adults. This means you won’t have to worry about kids running down hotel hallways or taking up all the room in the pool. When you start searching for your vacation destination, look for a disclaimer on the resort websites that states if they are adults-only.

When it comes to finding the perfect place to travel this spring, you first need to look at the best beaches for spring break. There are several popular options, but which one is right for your trip?  You will want to consider the quality of the actual beaches as well as the other attractions in the area.

If you have kiddos in tow – skip these beaches during spring break and plan a trip elsewhere. These are great places to visit with kids at other times of the year.  I have personally been to all 3 beaches (Cancun and Puerto Rico with kids) and found them to be great for kids when it’s a bit less crowded with party goers.

Here are a few getaways with the best beaches and local attractions for adults.

Best Beaches for Spring Break:

Cancun

The beaches of Cancun, Mexico are among the best in the world. Every year, people flock to this city from all over the world just to enjoy the beautiful ocean-front views. When you aren’t soaking up the sun, there are lots of other great things to do here. You can swim with dolphins, go snorkeling, and even visit ancient ruins. There’s also a bustling nightlife scene, so you will have plenty of chances to grab a margarita or pina colada during your trip.

When people talk about all-inclusive resorts,  food is always on top of the list.  We love to eat and a good meal, especially one that is included with your stay,  is a priority when planning a vacation.

We had plenty of food to choose from staying at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort.  A variety of cuisine is available – from hotdogs to fish to steak. You can eat Asian, Mexican, seafood or lounge poolside.  Whether you’re traveling with a picky eater or a foodie, there is no shortage of restaurant options.

When planning our trip to a new area,  one of the first items on our list is to determine where we should eat.  I want to know other travelers experiences with a  restaurant before I go.  Granted, I’ve been spoiled and dined at some fabulous restaurants, so I am a bit finicky when it comes to food.  However, knowing what others think of a restaurant is a good indicator of the food quality, ambiance and wait staff.

Some of the restaurants at Moon Palace are definitely better than others. We preferred La Trattoria at the Golf Villas, Caribeno in Moon Grand and the Brazilian Steakhouse in Nizuc.

Moon Palace Food La Trattoria

Our favorite meal was at La Trattoria on the last evening of our trip.  A card with our last name was waiting on our table which gave a special touch to the evening.  We were offered a cheese cart, delicious bread that was still warm from the oven, a dessert cart to die for, a palate cleansing treat between courses and fabulous wine.  Everything about the meal was exceptional.  Every time I thought the meal couldn’t get any better – they arrived with another course.

I made my way to Cancun this past September. I desperately wanted to attend a travel bloggers conference and figured combining a retreat with my husband and learning to expand my business was the perfect excuse.

The TBEX conference was held at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort. This was my first experience at an all-inclusive resort and I wasn’t disappointed!
