We haven't decided either. I've been to most places that I want to go. FH needs gambling at night otherwise the Island are dead, we both want all-inclusive and our other option was Greece but he doesn't feel like Island hopping.
So we are currently about the Bahamas or St. Maarten possible Antiqua. I would like to do Sandals.

Re: honeymoon
If you want to do St. Barts. I would suggest going to St. Maarten and taking the boat over for the day. St. Barts is extremely pricey and St. Maarten is so beautiful with great restaurants and casinos. Then you can go to two Island on your honeymoon.
Personally, I would never go back to Hawaii. The beaches in the carribean are so much prettier. Unless you're going for the sightseeing of the volcanos, it's not worth a 12 hour flight. IMO
If you don't travel much, then I would definitely suggest doing something you wouldn't normally do. We travel all the time so we're not looking to do anything extravagent.
Just remember, Australia summer is in our winter but it is suppose to be beautiful.

Re: honeymoon
I heard Sandals in Jamaica is great because they have three resorts you can go to so you have all different options. Again, not an option for me because Jamaica doesn't have gambling.
Anyone know great all-inclusives that also have gambling on the Island?
So far our choices are Bahamas and St. Maarten

Re: honeymoon
We are also having trouble decided where to go on our honeymoon.... As of right now we are thinking Greece--- we found some really great hotels!!
Other places we were looking into were St. Lucia, staying at the Sandals resort (we went to St. Lucia on a cruise and the island is beautiful), Hawaii, and Cabo.

Re: honeymoon
Think about these factors: 1- your budget 2- how many days you want the honeymoon to be (for example, i've heard that you need at least 10-12 days for Hawaii because you lose 1 day going and 1 day returning) 3- do you plan to go soon after your wedding or if are you willing to wait a couple of weeks or months 4- are there any weather advisories or major holidays you should keep in mind?
Also, if you haven't done this already, go to a local travel agency and pick up brochures from all sorts of places, look through the photos, read the descriptions, and see what catches your eye.
We will be going to the Dreams Resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico can't wait!

If you go to Greece...you MUST stay at the Villa Vadeema in Santorini!!! So romantic!!

Great point!!! We only have 7 days because FH started his own business less than a year ago and we can't leave the business longer than that We were initially going to Italy, but decided to go to Mexico instead. We are going to Excellence Playa Mujeres (adults only--all inclusive) YAY!!! We got a wonderful price and the place is beautiful!!!
We haven't decided yet so I'll going to keep looking at this post for some suggestions too. Right now I am thinking Morocco, last week was Costa Rica or Belize. I have no idea!

Re: honeymoon
I'm trying to decide right now too. If you do go to the bahamas ( i think that's where we're going) if budget is a concern- i've heard on Paradise Island everything is much more expensive. and if you don't find all inclusive- i've read some reviews that it's like $38 for a chicken dinner. add fries to a burger- $8. so food could be a huge expense. especially for me- after all this dieting i'm going to eat my way through the islands Also- if you do choose to read reviews (i.e. yahoo travel reviews) take them with a grain of salt. I've been pulling my hair out because every hotel i find has terrible reviews. but EVERY hotel has bad reviews on those sites. Also- try looking at the dates of the bad reviews. A lot of them are during spring break season.
