Traveler Review – Grand Cayman & The Reef Resort

Amphibia Travelers David and Eada spent a week away from the cold Minnesota winter at The Reef on Grand Cayman. Here’s what they had to say about the island and the resort: Our trip to Grand Cayman was the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken, which is just what we had in mind. Our resort, The Reef, located on the quiet end of the island, was exactly what we were looking for. Our 1-bedroom suite was perfect, having a spectacular view, spacious rooms, a moderate-sized kitchen and the beach just steps away across our...

Traveler Review – Myrtle Beach & The Anderson Ocean Club and Spa

Traveler Review – Myrtle Beach & The Anderson Ocean Club and Spa

We – a group of moms – set out with one goal: to spoil ourselves rotten for a long Mother’s Day weekend in Myrtle Beach. And we succeeded! The Anderson Ocean Club and Spa exceeded our expectations! The room was huge and very recently updated, including a kitchen and full-size fridge. The uber-clean bathroom had a huge whirlpool (which, as one of us learned the hard way, should in fact be filled to the top with water before turning on the jets – unless, of course, you’re looking for a Bellagio-style fountain show).  The Murphy bed...

Traveler Review – Breezes Grand Negril, Jamaica

Traveler Review – Breezes Grand Negril, Jamaica

The grounds and beaches at Breezes Grand Negril were gorgeous! The food, drinks and the included activities were fantastic at this all-inclusive resort. The buildings and rooms could use a little love, though … My husband and I stayed at Breezes Grand Negril for a quick 4-day getaway because it was on special and we got it for a steal. To get there, you can fly into Montego Bay and take a shuttle. The ride to the resort was about 2 hours, but the drive along the coastline is gorgeous, so sit back and relax! The beach and boardwalks are...

Traveler Review – Gran Melia Puerto Rico

Amphibia travelers Jennifer and Mike just returned from a relaxing spring getaway at the Gran Melia Puerto Rico. After a week of perfect Caribbean weather spent relaxing on the beach, golfing and exploring the island they’re ready to pass along a review of the resort… and a great golf tip! The Gran Melia was lovely. The service was great, and the room, pools and beach access were perfect. I liked having several restaurants to choose from at the resort, and I thought the prices for food and drink weren’t outrageous. I mean, $10...

Traveler Review – Ambergris Caye, Belize

Having been to many spots in Mexico, our group of friends decided we needed to branch out. With 9 personalities in play, we somehow landed on Ambergris Caye, Belize, and we’re sure glad we did! Everything about the place had personality.  The laid-back, easy-goers loved the casual atmosphere of San Pedro and the quiet beaches, piers and hammocks while looking out across the second longest barrier reef in the world. San Pedro had all the beautifully colored buildings and beachfront restaurants and bars that you’d expect from a Caribbean...

Traveler Review – The Royal Playa Del Carmen

An Amphibia traveler just returned from her stay in the Riviera Maya, Mexico at The Royal Playa Del Carmen and wanted to pass along a review of her experience. Here’s what she had to say: It was a beautiful resort! The food was really great, which sometimes I’m not a fan of all inclusive as the food is mostly buffet style and not always good. They had 6-7 restaurants to choose from – with at least 3 for every meal and no reservations required which is great! They also have 24 hour room service with a box that they will just leave...

Traveler Review – Puerto Rico & Rio Mar Beach Resort by Wyndham

A couple of Amphibia travelers just returned from Rio Mar Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, and we wanted to pass along their feedback on the resort and Puerto Rico in general. Emily and her mom, Barbara, escaped the frigid Minnesota winter and spent four nights at the Rio Mar Beach Resort relaxing on the beach, having drinks by the pool, playing tennis on the clay courts and venturing out for some hiking in the El Yunque National Rain Forest, swimming in a crystal-clear clear pool under a waterfall, kayaking through a bioluminescent bay and...
