The U.S. just issued a travel warning for this popular cruise stop

The country of Belize is under a Level 2 advisory, while Belize City is under a Level 3 advisory.

Belize Barrier Reef

The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Belize, urging travelers to "exercise increased caution" when visiting the Central American country. The advisory, issued due to concerns over crime, highlights the prevalence of violent offenses, including sexual assault, armed robberies, home invasions, and even murder, often occurring during daylight hours and in tourist areas. A large portion of these crimes is tied to gang activity.

Belize remains a popular stop for many cruise lines, including Carnival Dream, Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas, and Regal Princess, among others.

Why Finest Punta Cana will change your view on all-inclusive resorts

Not your average all-inclusive resort

Finest Punta Cana

Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to travel to several all-inclusive resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean. I've never had a bad experience -- but there's no question that some resorts are better than others. Some cynics of the "all-inclusive life" say these resorts have sub-par food and poor service. However, Finest Punta Cana begs to differ -- in every sense of the term. This resort is truly the top tier of all-inclusive resorts and a must-stay for anyone disappointed by all-inclusive resorts in the past.

While staying at Finest, you get the "care-free" atmosphere of the all-inclusive, which means you can head into the pool and to the pool bar without grabbing your wallet. Yet, that doesn't mean you have to compromise luxury and quality. Here's why the Finest Punta Cana resort changed my mind about all-inclusive resorts and might change yours, too.
