Honeymoon in January??

So we are getting married early January 2013, and are starting to work on planning our honeymoon. I have done lots of traveling internationally in the previous years where my fiance has not. We want to go somewhere warm, tropical, with a beach and just relax.  I started some research on good places to go during that time, and have heard that these places are good:

-acupolco
-barbados
- fiji
-beliz

I have friends that honeymooned in Fiji and they LOVED it, so I've been interested in that, but Barbados sounds really awesome too.

My fiance is inactive military so we cant go to Mexico, and honestly he is freaked out by Mexico's state right now with the Cartel etc. so he really doesn't want to go there.

anyway, what would you guys suggest? what kind of places/hotels/all-inclusive etc should we be looking at?

anyone been to Barbados or Fiji??

    I think where you go will depend on how much you have to spend. For the time of year, Fiji will have the best deals since it's their low season. Barbados will be much more expensive. However, Fiji is expensive to begin with. You'll be spending at least $2K on airfare alone. BTW- Acapulco is in Mexico and it's Belize.

    I'm confused, why can't you FI go to Mexico because he's in the military?

    What's your budget?

    Certain gov't jobs have travel restrictions and Mexico happens to be one of those places right now. Both myself and my FI work in an industry that is similarly restricted. We have been told not to travel to most of Mexico.

    We had a January 14 wedding and went to Belize for the honeymoon.  LOVEW IT!  Total, we spent around 3k for the package and flights from OH.  We had an all inclusive package with Caves Branch where we had three days of adventure in the jungle and then two days on the beach.  You may not want that much action if you are looking for just a beach scene...regardless, Belize was awesome in January.  Great food!  Great people!  Definitley worth checking out.  We didn't put a deposit down until November which didn't seem to be a problem for vacancy at that time of the year in Belize...

    Wedding bliss since January 14, 2012!

    H and I were married this past January and we honeymooned to Hawaii and it was perfect! Depending on your budget, I would recommend Hawaii to anyone in a heart beat!

    I traveled to Fiji when I was 12, so I cannot recommend many things there for a honeymoon.  I can say from what I remember it was a beautiful place and even at the age of 12 I had a blast there so I am positive if I had the opportunity to travel there again as an adult it would be even better!!

    Good Luck :)
