honeymoon ideas needed

hi ladies.. FH and i need to figure out our HM. We want to do something all inclusive in the carribean. airlines arent booking past sept and i want end of october so im panicking(FH has to pick his vaca times for 2012 this week). because of timing we dont want to go right after wedding.

what did you all do?

did anyone book the HM and then airfare later when it opened up? is it better to book together?

If you want all inclusive I hear Jamaica or St. Lucia are nice. I did not go with an all-inclusive spot because we used a timeshare.

I went to an all-inclusive in Turks & Caicos called the Veranda. I recommend it to everyone--it was absolutely fabulous in every way!!

We went to an all inclusive (Excellence Punta Cana) right after the wedding for 4 days and we'll be going to Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia over Christmas vacation. We booked the resort and then booked airfare because it wasn't out yet. Our travel agent booked it for us (she's actually a friend of the family that works for Sandals).

The one in Punta Cana, DR was awesome...highly HIGHLY recommend it!

we are going on our honeymoon in Feb...cant wait!!!
personally i would wait to book airfare and hotel together. i know for us, flying on a tuesday was cheaper then a monday so we changed our original plans around.

we are looking at la toc for next november. no flights are offered yet. was it more to book them seperatly?

I dont think so. We didn't want to have a stop over and the only airline that I found that went nonstop to St Lucia was Jetblue so the minute the air opened, we jumped on it!

ETA: Being a teacher, we could only go on certain days so that's anoter reason why we were restricted to certain days. I dont know if its cheaper to fly one day as opposed to another...I don't get that option. However, if you're looking to go in November, just becareful of Thanksgiving weekend (big $$ in air prices) and Veterans Day weekend (I know A LOT of parents pull their kids out of school to go away).

how long are you going for? which room didyou decide on? im researching the different choices now..

We're going for a week (leaving Christmas morning coming home New Years day). A friend of the family works for Sandals so she said that this would be the best room for the money:

Honeymoon Concierge Grande Luxe Beachfront Walkout Room
Rooms come with Mahogany, four poster king size bed, 37 inch flat screen plasma TV, full bath with whirlpool tub, refined décor, walk out patio with stunning views of the pool and jade green sea and the services of our Suite Concierge. Rooms are located on the first floor of the Choiseul and Esperance buildings. View: Beach

I honestly took her word for it! She's sent TONS of people there including one of my best friends! She said that out of all the islands that have Sandals and Beaches on them, St Lucia is by far her favorite. I've gone there on cruises and loved it too.
