P.S. We also would like somewhere that has alot of activites to do but also places to just relax and spa stuff of course

My FI and I went to Thailand....it was seriously amazing. I wanted to cry when we left because it was so awesome!!! Everything outside of the hotel was dirt cheap too....dinner outside of the hotel cost like $10-15 including drinks....hotel prices were more but we could eat lunch for $20-30 and drinks were anywhere between $6-10 in the hotel. We got to relax at our hotels adult pool, had Thai massages ($30/hour each in hotel....$10 outside of hotel), went elephant riding and went on a day tour of the islands surrounding Thailand, snorkeling.....it was a dream. We stayed at Indigo Pearl which is away from the craziness of the Spring Break like areas.

I saw another knottie post where they were going to FIJI....they said they are getting dropped off at an island for the day with a packed lunch and bottle of champagne and they get the island to themselves.....not too shabby!

We are going to the Bahamas and staying a the Breezes resort.  Its all inclusive...it also includes all water sports.  You can also purchase a day pass and go to Atlantis and swim with the dolphins and do an adventure dig.

I think we are paying $2100.00   total for everything

Super good deal!!!

Hmm, I can only comment on where we are going, Turks and Caicos which uses the US dollar. They do have some all inclusive resorts though like beaches, the sands and I think the veranda. Might be worth looking into.

Other than that what about Belize? 1 USD = 2 BZD. Just a thought, I'd like to go there next.

I went there in 2000.  It's a nice resort...you'll have a great time!!  I definitely recommend going to the piano bar (at the resort) as well as checking out Atlantis.  The Dig (underground aquarium) is so cool!

Cancun, Mexico!
You can get some GREAT deals on all-inclusives, airfair is not that expensive, the dollar is worth more & you can haggle when shopping (it's expected and enjoyed as a sport).
You can chill or do TONS of stuff! My parents have a timeshare & I've been there 4 times and will be going there for my honeymoon.

PM me if you'd like some tips, tricks & recommendations. 

Are you signed up for TravelZoo? If not, you should be! They send a weekly email on great travel deals & almost always have something for Mexico.

I agree with Gena.  We went to Playa Mujeres, Mexico for our honeymoon (a few miles outside Cancun).  It's definitely a fun area.

I just emailed you...just give me the details and I'll find you the most fabulous resort ever!

We are going to Secrets Maroma Beach which is near Cancun!  They have excellent reviews for customer service, food, activities, etc. Plus a top rated beach, It just seemed perfect.  It was a bit of a splurge for us but they have Secrets Capri that a few friends of ours went to for their HM and they loved it as well. 

I'd rec signing up for a email like cheapcarribean.com so you can see links to many hotels that are consistently recommended.... also read tons of reviews on trip advisor!

We are going to the Sandals resort in St. Lucia!  I'm pretty excited about it!  It's all inclusive and there's tons of things to do on the island (at least from what I hear!).

*Rebecca and Chris*

We went to Puntaa Cana, in the Dominican Republic.  We stayed at an all-inclusive place, Excellence Puntaa Cana.  It was so pretty down there!  If you want to see pictures or anything, email me at msupettineo at yahoo.com

P.S.  Why will the knot not let me post Puntta without the extra t?  I didn't mean it dirty.  Or did I???
