My wife and I are looking for locales for future trips in the Caribbean with the following criteria:
1. Safe. (Obviously there's some nefarious activity going on in some places.)
2. Good reef / marine life scuba diving. (Not much interested in wreck diving, but good wall dives would be okay too.)
3. Has a decent selection of (edited) international all-inclusive adults-only resorts. (Allows us significant business-related discounts)
4. Moderately reasonable airfare / travel time from Chicago.
I'm retired now and we're planning on 2 trips a year. We've been doing Cozumel lately, which checks all the boxes, but after our 3rd trip coming up in June, we'd like to try somewhere else. We've also done Cancun and Jamaica and Playa Del Carmen. (Suprisingly on one of our Cancun trips we had the best dive we've ever had.) Punta Cana is on our radar, but not sure about the quality of reefs there.
Suggestions appreciated!
EDIT to add: I probably should have stated "big name" all-inclusives like Sandals, Riu, Secrets, etc.
