Tahiti, Cook Islands, or Hawaii for Honeymoon?

I am looking at any of these options for a honeymoon. I would go to an island in the Caribbean, but the wedding is during hurricane season. If you have been to either, or a preference to one over the other please provide me some feedback on why you chose that location and how was it.
My intent was to originally do Tahiti, but it is very expensive. Thus I have added Hawaii and Cook Islands into the mix for choosing somewhere in the Pacific to travel to.

Cook Islands instead of Hawaii.
Tahiti out of all of them if you can afford.

Tahiti, Cook Islands, or Hawaii for Honeymoon?

Tahiti is definitely the dream location for my honeymoon. Just a place of complete isolation would be the way to go. Hawaii is way to damn crowded for that.

I went to Tahiti (Papeete, Moorea, Bora Bora) on mine. Greatest place ever, but super-expensive.
I recommend Kauai either The Grand Hyatt Resort (my happy spot) or Princeville (Tahiti-like scenery). The St. Regis is the super-high-end resort there. Maybe four nights at one and three at the other. You will thank me later.

Bora Bora or New Zealand. New Zealand beauty can't be described. It's other worldly.

I will throw in Maldives and Seychelles if you're thinking huge.

Turks & Caicos or stay home

I'm a huge fan of Kauaii, especially the Princeville area and the Sheraton Princeville Resort.

I'm going to the Cooks in April. 1 week on Aitutaki and 1 week on Rarotonga. We're renting houses rather than go the resort route. I don't want to share my space with other people's children.

The people in Hawaii make it not worth the trip.

We did the Maldives. I highly recommend it if you can fit it in your budget.

Bora Bora would be the best and you can do it for a lot cheaper than most realize. If you join the Intercontinental Ambassador program you get a 2 for 1 night weekend certificate to use at any IC property. Also IHG has two resorts in Bora Bora, the Le Moana resort and Thalasso Resort. I think the Thalasso is all Over the Water Bungalows.
Another trick that you can use with IHG is to reserve a 15k point a night room anywhere for points + $70 cash then cancel the reservation so that you will get the 10k in points back almost immediately. Currently 50k is the top redemption level for IHG properties so by doing this you can basically stay at any property for at most $350/ night even a resort like Thalasso that runs $900+ per night. Also only the first level or two of rooms is usually available for awards nights, thats why it would better to look into Thalasso than Le Moana where you would have to hope that they upgrade you as an Ambassodor to over the water on a reward night.
ETA: Flights there are still going to be really expensive, I haven't figured how to significantly reduce that yet.

Whichever is the most remote and undeveloped, which I assume is the Cook Islands.

1. Tahiti
2. Cook
3. Hawaii
Cook would be really cool, although can't go wrong with HI.
