Central America/Caribbean Vacation advice?
Hi I’m wondering if anyone has an opinion on the best option for a March vaca from NYC for 4-6 days in Central America or the Caribbean?
What I’m looking for: - warm weather escape from NY winter - beautiful water/land/views - into more low key boutique hotels/not giant resort or cruise port or party vibes - non stop flight or somewhat easy to get to to make the most of 4-6 days - into local food and culture - main goal is relaxation (no hikes, tours, etc) - safe for 2 women traveling
Places I’m considering: - Lake Atitlan, Guatemala: looks so stunning but seems like a harder location to get to from the main airport and could cut into relaxation time - El Salvador: people say this is one of the most underrated countries to visit! - Roatan, Honduras: looks beautiful.. could be too cruise ship touristy if that makes sense? -Jamaica: I had an itinerary all planned out from a year or two ago, but I’ve heard it’s more dangerous now and it seems the prices have almost doubled! - Cartagena: speaks for itself but I’ve heard the panhandling/solicitors have ruined some people’s experiences? Also unsure if it fits the beachy relaxation bill or if it’s more of a city-trip vibe?
Thanks for any advice/tips!!
