Looking to go to the Caribbean for our honeymoon. We don't want to stay at a big brand name resort, we are wanting a place more secluded. Price range is about 5k to 7k. Looking for suggestions/reviews of places any of you may have stayed. Also thinking along the lines of all inclusive...

TIA

Just got back from Turks and Caicos and it was incredible.


Seven Stars Resort was absolutely top notch, unreal food, very few children, unbelievable service, etc.

I did Sandals in St. Lucia at the Grande Resort. It's good if you just want to lay by pool/beach and drink. They have 1 or 2 excursions that you can go on.

well that might not exist



My resort (Seven Stars) was not all inclusive and was expensive, but there is a local store down the street and we bought beer/wine/snacks for the honeymoon suite and it worked out great.

Caneel Bay- St. John, USVI
Little Dix Bay- Virgin Gorda, BVI
Peter Island Resort- Peter Island, BVI
Bitter End Yacht Club- Virgin Gorda, BVI

These meet all your specifications. I have personally stayed at Caneel Bay and Little Dix Bay. Very secluded, high end, and away from it all.

Try Culebra, Puerto Rico. Very off the beaten path. No resorts - mostly villas and BnB. Very beautiful!!!!

Do a google image search on Flamenca beach. On my phone or I would post and share.

St. Barths....and I can't suggest that place enough. We went on our honeymoon last year and went back again this year.

The island is very small and no "riff raff" that you'll have to worry about hassling you.

You should go on a cruise and get an expensive room. You get to see a bunch of islands instead of just one, you can be as secluded or involved as you want, and it's as close to "all-inclusive" as you can get without being at one of those franchise resorts.

Galley Bay Resort in Antigua.

Very secluded and not a chain resort.

I've found a couple, so i know they exist. This isn't deal breaker though. I just want to have fun and not worry about getting my wallet out or having my credit card stolen.

I'm doing Hawaii and I'm pretty pumped about it. Hawaii offers you more things to do than just post up on a beach for 10 days.

Eta: Not that there is anything wrong with that, just not my thing.

I remember seeing this place when researching a trip. All inclusive and secluded/non-huge resort.

My wife and I stayed on an island in the Bahamas called Eleuthera on a private beach. We were there for 7 days and we saw 2 people on the beach the whole time we were there. Perfect if you have a sense of adventure and want to live more like a local for a week than be treated like a tourist. But you can forget the "all-inclusive" part.









Here is the link to the rental house we stayed at:
