Honeymoon??

So we were dead set on going to Hawaii for our honeymoon and budgeted accordingly, but our offer was just accepted on a house a little earlier than we thought so I don't think it will be possible to swing buying a home and a 8k-10k honeymoon!! Very sad about this, but very excited if we get to be homeowners


FH and I have traveled a lot to the Caribbean (Mexico, Jamaica, DR, Aruba, St. Thomas, St. Kitts). Can anyone recommend somewhere else that they've loved? Doesn't have to be all inclusive. We are willing to travel elsewhere if it's affordable and not 10k! TIA

THIS!

I was about to suggest St. Maarten as well. FH and I have also traveled everywhere in the Caribbean and it has been our favorite spot. We stayed at the Westin Dawn Beach last time and loved everything about it. It's the best location on the island to watch a sunrise, and its on the border between the French and the Dutch sides of the island so its easy to get to activities either way. French side was our favorite... the beaches, restaurants and shopping cannot be beat! Pricing was totally reasonable!

yay to accepted offers!!!

we loved st. thomas for vaca and you can get inclusive resorts (i'm not sure where)...we always stayed at bluebeards because of being timeshare owners. the good thing about st thomas is it's right across the water to st. john's, you can do other sorts of excursions to other islands, and every single beach you go to is different!

THIS! I go there every year for the past 20+ years. If you want I could let you know inexpensive, fun places as well as other aspects.

Well you have Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Bermuda, St Lucia. The list can go on.......

Congrats on the house!

Anguilla
also St. Johns is beautiful.

Congratulations on the house!

I know a lot of people are doing mini-moons now. Maybe if you do a mini-moon you can postpone Hawaii for a little bit and have your dream honeymoon a little later?

Congrats on the house! Have you ever been to Barbados? I have traveled to most of the islands and its my favorite one.

No, but I was going some googling on Barbados today!

Thanks for the info everyone. Hopefully we will end up somewhere just as nice as Hawaii

This...Couples gets fantastic reviews..and they are on 7 mile beach which is fantastic!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Doing something in the Caribbean would definitley be cheaper than Hawaii in flights alone.

We had an awesome time at Sandals La Toc on St. Lucia. If you're looking for more affordable, look at Jamaica (resorts and flights are cheaper).

You could also do a cruise. Cruises are really affordable and you could even do one out of NY to save on airfare.
