Where can we go next year?

Hi, My son and I have just been to the Riviera Maya in mexico and loved it. We are now looking for somewhere similar for next year. The beach was lovely and it had quite big waves, big enough to knock you over, which we really like and lots of things to do and see. We have already been to Jamaica-didn't really like it, Antigua-lovely and Turks and Caicos- which was beautiful but dull. We like to go somewhere different each year. So we are looking for all inclusive, long haul, excursions to go on, boat trips etc., and a lovely beach with big waves:D. Any suggestions would be extremely welcome. Oh and we would be going in the middle of july. Thanks.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I've looked at Barbados but it's too expensive, it seems to be much dearer than the rest of the caribbean. I should've said that in my post, sorry.:o

    Thanks.Do you know what the beaches are like for waves, my son (and me:D) love big waves. He spends hours in the sea getting thrown about. The beaches certainly look lovely there.
