honeymoon

FH and I can not decide on where to go.

We have been to a lot of islands and nice places. FMIL says she has spoiled us since she is a TA and always takes us with her so we get a great discount. Now for the honeymoon we cant get a discount only she wouldnt take commision. She also wants to help us out with it, but we dont want to spend too much money.

We just dont know where to go.

We have been..

Atlantis - Bahamas
Sandals - Bahamas 2x
Sandals - St Lucia 1x
El Conquistador - Puerto Rico 3x
Ritz Carlton - St. Thomas
Radisson - Aruba
Disney too many times

I Just dont want to go somewhere that is going to be like the others although we are considering

Sandals - Jamiaca
Mexico

I suggested Costa Rica but FH says no
We would like to do Hawaii or Europe but both are going to be more money than we prob want to spend.

any suggestions?

Re: honeymoon

my brother got married somewhere in jamacia and said it was not very nice... if you go to a resport the highly advise you do NOT leave the property for security purposes (doesnt sound to great to me)

what about Punta Cana.. i hear is BEAUTIFUL, barbados

I went there and it was TERRIBLE. Parts are amazing, though, I hear ... but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Forget Sandals or something like that..sounds too common for you guys. You should do a cruise somewhere or Hawaii....don't go to the Caribbean again. JMO.

What about Brazil or Argentina? S. America is not too expensive at all, and beaches are beautiful!

Re: honeymoon

We are going to Couples San Souci in Jamaica- check out the reviews on tripadvisor. it is supposed to be awesome.

In mexico, there is the Riviera Maya Excellence that everyone talks about. We stayed somewhere that was in Riviera Maya-Tulum and it was very affordable and nice.

Sorry- i havent traveled much so im not much help

good luck!

haha thanks. yeah we love sandals in general but it woulnt be anything different then we have done. People we know have been to Sandals in Jamaica and are going back for their honey moon (12 days - which honestly is TOO long to stay at any sandals it gets played out!) and I wouldnt go back to st lucia.

I dont think we would like a cruise. I like to be in one spot and not feel rushed to get back on the boat.

We def wnat to do hawaii but FMIL says there really isnt way to make is a cheaper vacation she just sent someone there at moderate hotels and it was $8000 or something.
