Ok, sO We booked Costa Rica, but are having a TON of reservations about it.

What we want out of our HM is nice beaches and a hotel with big pools( not too crowded) a nice town close by with shopping, dinners( very basic, FH is picky eater) and we wanted to do some activites like water sports, snorkling etc.

We looked at both Nassau in the bahamas and Puerto Vallarta seem to be better choices...I dont know too much abotu either...looking to see what people prefer. ( I get crazy with decsion making..sorry!)

Any hotel suggestions are very very welcome!!!

p.s we are able to change our desination with Travel agent.

THANKS SO VERY MUCH!

UPDATE-

ME and FH sat down and talked tonight, he really FINALLY voiced his opinion and now wants to go to the Bahamas. He said he was doo make me happy, its more something I would like then HIM...

We cant afford Atlantis or Sandals and dont seem to like Breezes....any other hotel suggestions????

Have you thought about a cruise?

Thats what I was going to say! Great minds think alike. LOL Honestly though it's a great value and you have the opportunity to visit a variety of places!

I've been to the Bahamas twice and didn't like it either time. Have you looked at other places? There are many inexpensive islands to visit.

Donna, did you check out trip advisor? There are some reviews on various places on there- plenty of them are legitimate reviews . . .

It really does offer what we both want. FH is more of the fast placed tourist type of guy..think Disney world...he likes places that offer TONS to do, and as far as food costs, excursions..there are a lot to choose from and we are on our HM, we are brining plenty of spending money.

We are not really the quiet laid back resort people..we like the bustle of busy places.

We are going to Riviera Maya Mexico and are staying ay the el dorado royale adults only spa resort. We are staying there for 12 days 11 nights in a top of the line suite for a very reasonable price. Everything is there- beaches, cities, historic sites, natural parks . . . It is breath taking

If you have truly decided on the bahamas, I know sandals has the new Royal Bahamian, don't know much about the prices . . .

Here is a small list of all-inclusives I found in the Bahamas

give it a try . . . I am not sure what your Fh's taste is, but it is 30 minutes south of Cancun, a ferry ride away from cozymel, and the city of playacar is 10, 15 minutes away . . . I think it has some fast paced areas and slower as well . . . you will have a great time wherever you go, after all it is your HONEYMOON
