The fiance & I have been back & forth in emails to different agents about where to go for the honeymoon. We're hoping to have 7-10 day trip on a $5K budget, that figure including our spending money. Our choices came down to Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, or Panama. Dominican Republic doesn't feel exotic enough (although I'm sure it's still beautiful) & the fiance says it's too "3rd-world" for him. St. Lucia seems like the perfect choice, except it's priced at the top of our budget, not leaving room for extra spending. Plus, this place seems to be trending & we would like our destination to be 'different' than most couples. Panama is limited on all-inclusive resorts & weren't getting great reviews.
I'd like to have beautiful beaches to lounge on & have beach service provided (where's my foofy-drink w/the umbrella in it?). We'd also like to do some jetskiing, parasailing, & ziplining if possible. We want to the service to be excellent, like we're being pampered. We'd like the option, if we desired, to go off property for sites, shopping, eating, dancing, etc. The fiance is hoping to have a room w/a jacuzzi tub, I prefer a patio/balcony. We want room service to be included also. We're worried about the hurricane belt, but at this point, we may go with it (better check with the fiance again).
We were just about ready to settle on Panama when we read poor reviews on the property. So now it's back to the drawing board. Hoping to get some other options, if there are any.......
Thank you anyone & everyone in advance!
