So were wanting to go to the bahamas for our honeymoon. The one all inclusive that we saw online has mixed reviews. Where will you ladies be going? Im really looking for an all inclusive resort. Weve taken 2 trips to Mexico and have mixed reviews about Jamaica. Any other recommendations??

    Yeah, I have heard that Atlantis is great as well.  But check out www.tripadvisor.com too.  That is the best website I have ever used for real reviews and real photos from people who have gone to a particular place.

    How about Punta Cana or Aruba? I haven't been to either but they are on my list. Right now we have reservations for Costa Rica....but I'm not completely sold on that either. So indecisive.

    I can't recommend Secrets All Inclusive in Montego Bay, Jamaica enough! What are your mixed reviews on Jamaica? Maybe I can help answer some questions. All Inclusive is definitely the way to go wherever you are planning to go.

    if we decide to stay in the states since FI is scared to fly and don't like boats we might do the Pocanos in PA but my heart is set on the seychell Islands off the coast of africa or bora bora, Tahiti or fiji one of the french polynesian islands since I have been to most carribean islands and Mexico while I was in the Navy. u can look at davids bridal honeymoon they have a lot of all inclusive resort deals

    <div>The reviews could really get your head all in daze. Definitely get reviews from the ladies on here or you will be like me and spend days reading reviews...lol. Let's face it the majority people that usually write reviews are the ones with a bad experience so that tends to drown out the good reviews. When looking I just stuck to 4 star resorts or better, I think those are safe. Good luck~</div>

    We're going on this cruise, too.!

    If you're just looking to stay in one spot though, my parents just came back from Atlantis in Nassau. My mom loves it. Its expensive though. My favorite place to go and stay would be Aruba. I love the Occidental Grand Aruba Resort and Riu Palace Aruba. They're so pretty and both all-inclusive. Another favorite spot for me is Sandals Negril Resort in Negril Beach, Jamaica. All inclusive and gorgeous. Those are my favorite spots. We picked the cruise because all of my vacations have been with my parents, FI has never been out of the US. He's never been off the east coast. Lol. Only Vegas for my birthday, so he needs to experience different places. HTH

    I really heard they were nice. For Bahamas for best reviews have been for Atlantis. I found another resort in Bahamas that's all inclusive and most of all the reviews were bad. Atlantis may be a lil too busy for us with the waterpark and kids. We were trying to find a laid back adult resort.. Im bout ready to pull my hair out lol In Response to <a href="http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/cultural-wedding-boards_african-american-weddings_honeymoon-11?plckFindPostKey=Cat:Cultural Wedding BoardsForum:400Discussion:5e051dd4-f931-4139-a90a-35ec5a76687bPost:3e26e709-9bbd-497a-926b-de17849792f0">Re: Honeymoon</a>:

    I will research Punta Cana but did think about Aruba until I saw how long the flight was from Dallas. This will be FI first time flying so being on a plane for more than 6 hrs is out of the question lol.

    We only left the property one day. You won't want to leave! It's all inclusive so we didn't need to leave to go eat or for entertainment. We also didn't go to their shopping areas because we bought enough souvenirs from the one day we went out. Some other people we met went to the market. We weren't harrassed to buy drugs but yeah they were offering.
