Hi everyone! I am hoping for a little bit of advise on our honeymoon. We are feelilng overwhelmed and confused with the amount of options there are for a honeymoon! Maybe if I give some background, you guys can give some advice???
-July '10-hoping to stay for at least 9-10 nights
-Budget is about 6000-7000 total
-Tropical environment - looking for a good balance of being able to relax on the beach but also do a couple activities so we aren't just as the resort the entire time
-We are flexible on All Inclusive, we might prefer it but doesn't have to be
-We prefer an Adults only environment and we like to be sociable with others at the resort
-Plunge pool or jacuzzi maybe???
Some locations we are considering: St. Lucia, Jamaica, Hawaii, Costa Rica (but I think it's rainy season so that probably won't work). Any others?
Any advice or opinions anyone??? This is not as easy and fun as I thought it would be! Thanks so much in advance!
Re: Honeymoon overwhelmed!
Blue Water-- Antigua
Coral Reef Club--Barbados
LaLuna--Grenada
Sandals--St. Lucia, Antigua, Jamaica
A lot of the resorts in the Riveria Maya area in Mexico would be well within your budget, would be an AI, and would have private plunge pool or jacuzzi.
We originally looked into Hawaii and couldn't find any resorts that included food and/or alcohol or a private plunge pool so we decided on Fiji instead. But, if you'd really like to go to Hawaii, from what the other girls on here say, Hawaii is meant to be explored and has some amazing places to eat. You wouldn't want to be hanging out at the resort most of the time and eating in the same places every day. If you guys are looking for other activities and great food, Hawaii would be a great choice too! I'd definitely like to visit there in the next few years :0)
Speaking with a travel agent will also be a huge help. Give them a list of everything you're looking for and they will be able to give you lots more suggestions.
