Honeymoon, where to start...

I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start to look for a honeymoon.

I've looked at a bunch of places - Aruba, Italy, etc., but can't seem to narrow it down to one place that we've said THAT'S IT!...So here's my question:

Are there any islands/locations that have the following:

- Beach
- All Inclusive
- Don't cost as much as a down payment on a house hah
- Also have nearby other attractions and activities

We're opened to anything but are on a budget since we're paying for everything. We mainly want to spend 2 weeks in paradise relaxing, and still having fun while not breaking the bank by too much.

We'd be going right after the wedding - so locations w/ awesome May weather.

I would say Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico are all options ... May is perfect for those areas and they all have beaches...

Try Punta Cana, DR I hear it's beatiful

check out Couples.com resorts in Jamaica! They are all-inclusive and you literally will not have to leave the resort for anything!

I haven't booked it yet, but I plan to book soon-- at an all-inclusive in Turks and Caicos that is almost brand new, and has had rave reviews. It's called The Veranda. Looks amazing

How bout a US Virgin Island? I was researching the other day a little bit (still way too early, but i was excited!) and it wasn't too bad!

Re: Honeymoon, where to start...

how about Sandals? they are all over the carribean and if you go for a regular room instead of the more luxurious ones, they are a real bargain!

We're doing something simple. Going on a Disney Cruise and then staying in WDW. We are not the sit and relax type, and we are Disney Vacation Club members.

I've heard amazing things about the Sandals Grand St. Lucia!

Re: Honeymoon, where to start...

we're doing a mini-moon to california right after the wedding for 5 days, but that Nov we will be taking our 2 week HM in st lucia. Staying at one of the sandals resorts because they're all-inclusive.

A friend of mine is honeymooning at Breezes in Jamacia. That's all-inclusive as well

Also check out almond beach resorts too.

Thanks ladies!!!

I looked at Sandals but they were kinda pricey - but I don't think that was for a regular room, so I'll look into that, as well as the other recommendations.

Caribbean is great in May. We were looking into Sandals but decided to go with a cruise instead. We thought it would be a better choice for us, the price is great, and we get to see 6 different islands. Other than that I think Jamaica and Aruba have a lot of reasonable all inclusive choices. Good luck!
