QUESTION 3. You are a travel counselor, who is expected to make Caribbean recommendations to two couples, who are related, but wish to take separate one-week vacations. Cost is not a factor. The younger couple wish an all-inclusive resort with excitement and a fair number of activities. The older couple wish a warm climate destination as well, but with a bit more formality than in most Caribbean spots. They don't have to have an all-inclusive resort, but are open to suggestion. Which destinations would you suggest?
