HM Help!!!!!!!

FH and I are debating the big HM...we aren't sure where to go. We were initally thinking Tahiti...but it is expensive and so far away (I don't like to fly too much )
Where are you/did you go on your HM. What hotels are you/did you stay in? What are your thoughts?
Any help would be much appreciated

Re: HM Help!!!!!!!

We are going to Riviera Maya in Mexico. It's close to Cancun, but more secluded. We are staying at Aventura Spa Palace (a couples only resort that is all suites), but there are a bunch of really nice resorts there. It's a pretty short plane ride, but for an even shorter plane ride you could go to the Bahamas. I have heard good things about Sandals.

If you don't want to go far, I would go here. I'm going to hawaii, but this would be my second choice.

Re: HM Help!!!!!!!

My husband and I wanted to do a cruise and were so glad we did. We went to Puerto Rico since that was the port where the ship was leaving. We stayed at the Paradissis Hotel in Puerto Rico and it was absolutely awesome. And then we went on a Royal Caribbean cruise for 7 more days and went to 5 islands. (Antigua, St.Thomas, St.Lucia, Barbados, Saint Maarten). We felt it was the best thing we did. We relaxed at the hotel and then went on the cruise. We were very happy.

Re: HM Help!!!!!!!

I think a close alternative to tahiti is hawaii - less travel time, but exotic islands. I have been to hawaii and I am going back for my Honeymoon because it is luxurious and beautiful (Tahiti would have been my dream Honeymoon but too much $$$). I guess it really depends on what you want. The greek islands are nice as well.

Re: HM Help!!!!!!!

We are doing 5 days in St Lucia- staying at Sandals Grande
Then going on a cruise from Puerto Rico to Aruba, St Thomas, St Martin, and Curacao on Royal Caribbean.

12 days total

This was the hardest decision so far!!

Re: HM Help!!!!!!!

We really wanted to go to Hawaii or Italy but we couldn't afford it with the wedding. we are going on a cruise to Cozmel, Ochio Rios and Grand Caymen Islands. We hope that on our 1 yera anniversary we can go to Hawaii.
