I'm guessing that you're going someplace all-inclsive? Well most of the hotels have filtration systems so you should be fine. If you feel funny about drinking the water than stick to bottled, but I really don't think you'll have a problem.

It's an all inclusive but I was thinking about the mixed drinks, drinks with ice, etc...

I am sure you have nothing to wory about... a resort cannot serve contaminated water whether in a drink, ice, etc...

I've had mixed/icy drinks in Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Mexico and I was fine each time.

dont drink the water from the faucet and dont brush your teeth with the tap water either. i went to jamacia with my friend last year. i was fine but she was not... be careful they will also have signs throughout the resort i bet.

I'm guessing you are not reffering to Jamaica, Queens

I wouldn't say yes or no, but just a thought.. do you want to take any chances on your honeymoon and end up being sick??
