Re: Help with Wedding Destination - Carribbean
I've heard great things about Sandals Antigua and their weddings. I have a friend who got married there.
I don't know anything about PR but have you talked to a travel agent? a lot of them specialize in honeymoons and destination weddings.

Re: Help with Wedding Destination - Carribbean
FH and I have been to PR 2 times. we stayed at the El Conquistador. Its beautiful and they have rooms that are in little villas you can stay in (cost more though) they are called Las Casitas Village , the hotel has a casino and a night club in it. The only draw back that I found was you have to take a 20 min ferry from the hotel to their private beach, its not bad but you cant come and go as easily, but there are placed to eat on the beach. PR is really nice, there is the rainforest which is beauiful, there is Old San Juan where you can go shopping (coach outlet and Dooney and Bourke outlet too!!!!) If you like laying by the pool and by the ocean this is a great place, but if you like sight seeing, this is also a great place, there is old saun jaun to check out, the Fort, you can always go to other beaches ...
**oh and I remember seeing a wedding there, it was beautiful. Here i found a link for weddings at this hotel. Weddings And this place is for children too so if you have children who would attend they could be there without a problem (unlike Sandals)
Last Aug we went to St lucia and stayed at Sandals the Grande. It was very nice, all inclusive, the hotel has entertainment at night. we did not leave the facilitites though, we were iffy on going into the town. The weather there in Aug was fine. their was so points during the days that it showered, but each time was only a few minutes.
I did see one wedding there, one thing that was really cool was that after their ceremony, they hopped on a jet ski and took pics riding it. I did not notice it in St Lucia but when i was at sandals in the bahamas i noticed there were SOOOO many weddings there, we felt like it was one after the other, seemed rushed to us, but maybe that location is more popular.
