Re: All Inclusive Honeymoon Recommendations PLEASE!!!

I've heard Aruba is amazing but I'm not sure if they offer all inclusive hotels. Just be careful when booking an all inclusive because their alchol tends to be the cheap unknown brands. I've been to many all inclusives and am always dissappointed.

I have heard wonderful things about St. Lucia and would highly recommend going there.

Also, not sure when your wedding is, but be careful of hurricane season! I got emergency evacuated a few years back and it was not only annoying but ruined our vacation and was SUPER expensive to try and get a flight out.

St. Lucia or Turks/Caicos
I am from St. Lucia and its a beautifullllll you will enjoy it :) Jade Mountains I believe is one of the top hotels

Turks/Caicos- my friend went for her honeymoon and stayed at the gansevoort...pricey but BEAUTIFUL.

All the Great Hotel in St. Lucia and Turks/Caicos are not all inclusive :( from my research

Re: All Inclusive Honeymoon Recommendations PLEASE!!!

I just came back from my HM in Aruba - amazing. There are some hotels that you can do an all inclusive package, but there are so many good restaurants to go to, so if you go there, you might want to reconsider the AI part of it.

I don't know which hotels in Turks & Caicos offer all inclusive packages, but I can say that out of all the Islands I've been to (probably about 10-12) the beaches there were the most beautiful (they are all nice, but the beaches in T&C were above and beyond).

Good luck in making a decision!

The Palace Resorts in Mexico are fantastic. Clean, gorgeous, the food is fantastic, the drinks are great, and they're all inclusive. It's nice because you can go from Palace Resort to Palace Resort and use their bars/pools/restaurants for free too.

We got engaged in Punta Cana at the Excellence and it was awesome! We're going on our HM in December at Sandals Antigua and I have been hearing great things!

Re: All Inclusive Honeymoon Recommendations PLEASE!!!

I've heard nothing but good things about the Sandals in Antigua and St. Lucia. So many of my friends have either gone on vacation or been there for their honeymoon. I'd def check them out. I think in St. Lucia if you stay at one - you play at all!

Turks and Caicos is by far the best water/beaches I have been to in the Caribbean. They do have a Sandals resort on Grace Bay. I am attaching a link to FB pics from our trip. Don't mind the first two unrelated pics.

do you feel like working with an agent has gotten you a better deal than if you booked it on your own? did you get additional perks?

Re: All Inclusive Honeymoon Recommendations PLEASE!!!

Oops! We didn't stay all inclusive. Lol. Yes, its a Beaches not Sandals. They also have a Club Med and I think the Veranda is another all inclusive. I also visited on a cruise but it was Grand Turk. Believe it or not, Providenciales is even nicer!

I usually so vacations on my own but a friend of mine recommended going through a travel agent for our HM so it will be one less thing to worry about and it has worked out great. She watches the sales and promotions and has been able to reduce our price twice since we booked. I never would have known that on my own!
