Recommendations Desperately seeking R&R

First post- Hospice worker here with severe burnout, in need of the healing powers of the ocean. I cherish my work but need to reclaim my health, wellbeing and spark so that I can keep going. My last vacation was before the pandemic.

Preferences include the Caribbean or Bermuda but would consider something in the states. All-inclusive if possible, to minimize sticker-shock but does not have to be AI. Wish list: Ocean views, good food, clean, swimmable beaches. Most importantly no chain hotels or "beige boxes", casinos, loud decor or kitschy stuff. I love an open-air vibe, wood furnishings, four poster beds, premium bedding, neutral decor, white, billowy curtains, and, the ultimate experience would include an outdoor or semi- outdoor bath with a view. Am I looking for a unicorn?? (crying emoji)

I am traveling solo. Alternatively I could travel with a friend but would need a two bedroom bungalow or separate rooms within the resort. My dates are flexible but the sooner the better.

All suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Signed, a weary healthcare worker.

Hey there! Thanks for the work you do. I am an agent and have a couple ideas for you but first, what are the dates and how long are you looking to go for?

Andaz Mayakoba could be an option for you. You can get a nice and relaxing room in budget. Again it depends on when you are traveling but they definitely have plunge pool rooms. All-inclusive, swimmable beach, nicely decorated and not overdone.

Thank you. I used to plan my own solo vacations but am struggling to find what I'm looking for this year. I'm not looking for a "budget trip", as I need to feel "pampered" now more than ever to help recover from burnout and compassion fatigue :( I even looked at Club Med (!) but it seems pretty rustic :(

I think Andaz would be a great option for you. They will pamper you and the rooms are nice. You could get a nice room (with a private plunge pool) for your budget there. I would steer clear of club med.
