St. Barths or Turks and Caicos for HM

We're having a really tough time deciding where to go on our honeymoon. Has anyone been to St. Barths? I think there might be more for us to do there.

I've been to Turks before and it's absolutely breathtaking...

Any suggestions?? Also, which hotel is the best to stay in at St. Barths?

ST. Bart's!!!!! That is where we are going...funny you are getting married the day before me at the Carltun....

we considered Turks (Parrot Cay) but decided on Anguilla and St. Bart's...we are leaving on 5/22 and staying in Anguilla until 5/29, then going to St. Bart's for 4 nights....there is just so much more to do there than Turks....we are also doing a day trip toSt. Maarten which is right next to St. Bart's

The prices in Anguilla & St. Bart's are similar...expect to pay anything from 350 to 700 euros for rooms in St. Bart's and 500-700 $$ in Anguilla...

let me know if you need any other info....

I love St. Marrtean which is right near St. Barths. The water is amazing!!!

I have never been to Turks and Caicos, but I heard that is great as well.

I don't think you can go wrong with either decision.

St. Barths is absolutely the most romantic place. my husband and i just got back on Jan 1... it is very quiet and peaceful.. if you are looking for nightlife this might not be the place for you.. if you are looking for relaxation and great restuarants this is the place to go! hope this helps
