HELP - CARIBBEAN HONEYMOON SUGGESTIONS
My fiancee and I want to honeymoon in the Caribbean between Christmas
and New Years, 2007. Neither of us have any Caribbean experience. My ideal vacation would be a relaxing, adult-oriented (as in no screaming kids), beach location..... crystal clear water, mountains in the background, swinging from a hammock between palms, nothing more taxing than some snorkling and drinking tropical drinks, not too "touristy", all-inclusive would be great... any ideas? Please help... we're totally confused... looking to spend $5,000 - $6,000 for 8 days from Miami. Tanks!!!! |

Sandals Whitehouse is very secluded and one of the newest Sandals resorts.
Top shelf liquor, food etc. You can join in with the pool partiers or relax on the beach under a palm tree. Look on Trip Advisor and read the reviews . We were there in September 2006. Sandals Negril was great when we were there several years ago, but I've heard it needs a bit of updating. There are no other hotels near it so you can walk for an hour on the beach off the main property and won't run into a soul. Very, very nice place: our fave AI so far.

They are couples only (no children) All Inclusive resorts. Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Negrel are located in Jamaica. The average age at these AI is between 21 - 38 on any given week. Sandals specialize in Weddings and Honeymoons. There are the mountains, hammocks, snorkeling, boat drinks and swim up bar. There are semi-structured group activities if you want like water volleyball. But you don't have to join in if you don't want to do so. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address.

Sandals are nice, but a bit boring compared to some others. Do
yourself a favor and look seriously at Couples Swept Away in Negril, Jamaica or Couples Negril in Negril Jamaica. Check out TripAdvisor.com and some reputable travel agents. Don't let a TA uneducated about Jamacia convince you it is not a wonderful place to go... it is fantastic for your criteria! Have fun and grats!

Our daughter and son in law just got back from Whitehouse and loved it. She
said that the ocean is not sparkly and clear there as it is on the other side of Jamaica, but if that's not a priority for you, sounds like that would be a good place to go. Google it up. Their web page looks great. Happy wedding and happy marriage! "Nick and Judy" wrote in message . net... Sandals Whitehouse is very secluded and one of the newest Sandals resorts.

The Caribbean islands (including Bahamas) offer an amazing range of resorts and destinations ... small, intimate and catering for all price ranges. Why someone should shut themselves away in a large AI complex absolutely defeats me. But one man's meat is another man's poison, I suppose. Good luck! Tom W. -- Tom Withycombe Dorset/UK |

Try the island of Nevis for your honeymoon The "Non-Tourist-Trap" Guide To Nevis, West Indies (Caribbean) Why someone should shut themselves away in a large AI complex absolutely defeats me. But one man's meat is another man's poison, I suppose. I think it depends on the destination. For instance, Jamaica or D.R.? I'd only go AI, primarily, because I don't consider those to be especially safe places for tourists to wander . But, I can't think of anywhere else where I'd choose that as an option. It's also about what you're looking for out of your vacation. It isn't always about seeing, doing touching, experiencing the local flavors. Sometimes, it's only about relaxing and doing nothing, if that's what you choose. AIs are good, if what you're looking for is nothing but rest and relaxation, which is what it sounds like the OP is hoping for. Especially after something as stressful (albeit joyous) as a wedding, a week at an AI, not having to open a wallet, or think about what something costs, or having to find a cab to get to a restaurant...it's not a bad option. I've never heard great reports on AI food, but the concept is ideal for vacationers looking to veg vs. vacationers looking to get a taste and feel of the island they're visiting. It doesn't really matter on what island an AI vacationer is, because the vacation is not about the island per se. It's about having no plans, no worries for a week - and in the OP's case, it's about having some quality time with his/her new spouse. I'd consider Aruba as a honeymoon option for the OP, but, alas, no mountains to speak of - but almost guaranteed good weather. The Virgin Islands would also be something to consider - U.S. or British. We'll be checking out Barbados in a few months - I expect it'll be great, but no first-hand knowledge yet. Lee Good luck!

EastWinds in St Lucia would meet your criteria (dont know about price tho) - see Tripadvisor. Also Anse Chastenet St Lucia (more expensive than EastWinds) and there's another expensive one in the south of the island whose name escapes me. La source in Grenada might be another possibility - if its re-opened after the hurricane damage. -- Rita Daggett |

Don't forget the O.P. is looking for a Honeymoon spot and specifically mentioned interest in an A.I. They want a place where they can kick back, relax and not worry about where to get the next meal. A.I. establishments which cater to newlyweds are just right for this. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
