re: Tahiti, Cook Islands, or Hawaii for Honeymoon?

Thanks for the follow up pimp. Tahiti is bookmarked on my bucket list. Which is why I feel like if I am already shelling out the coin for some isolated location on this honeymoon, I might as well go for Tahiti now. How many times have you made the trip?

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.

Went on my honeymoon to Kauai just last month. Absolutely perfect trip.
Stayed at the Grand Hyatt on Poipu. PGA course and a perfect beach on the resort. The wife and I are already planning our next trip
That place is the shite, we went there last June. We did a workout with Annie every morning at 8 and hit the trails after that. The pools are some of the best in the world. Totally superior to Maui Hyatt by the way. What I like about it, is despite the size it seems uncrowded. And at night it's just silent and serene. We are going back next year, I'm taking the whole family and three other couples will be with us as well. Ridiculously perfect vibe at that place.
5 days there and 5 days on the north side of the island at The St Regis would be awesome honeymoon. Again, I went to Tahiti, but Kauai is amazing as well. I want to move there in a decade or so, God willing.
Edit-I only went to Tahiti once. I think it may be the best spot on Earth. I will probably never return-Kauai is my spot now. It's easier and has a very similar vibe. Not the same, but similar. I can tell you that native Hawaiians think Tahiti is The shite.

Have you made the trip to Bora Bora before? What all did you do on your trip to Tahiti?
I haven't been there yet, I'm the planning stages also. I was really looking for a really exotic location and I have always wanted to do the over the water bungalow thing. Take a look at flyertalk for a lot of ideas.

Hawaii is nice but should be last on that list
Id take the Caribbean over Hawaii

Just go somewhere nice but cheaper and screw. Save those trips for after the honeymoon.

The Grand Hyatt is very nice and love the golf on the south side as well. Our first trip there we stayed at the Marriott resort in Li'hue but on all later trips we started staying around Princeville. Our last trip in 2011, we stayed cliff top at Pali Ke Kua condos right on top of Hideaways beach. Finally going to tow the kids out there next summer and we will probably rent a house on Anini beach.

I love the Caribbean as well and have been to many islands there. Some I want to see again and some not so much. I can only speak for Oahu and Kauai in Hawaii. No desire to visit Oahu again. If I won the lottery, the first place I would go is Kauai to buy a vacation home on the North end of the island.
Kauai beats any place I have been in the Caribbean and it's not close.

American Samoa...
A view of one of American Samoa's Ofu beach in Ofu-Olosega.
...just not between November and April. Tropical cyclone season.

Yup
I'm just thinking cost friendly options and I'm more of a beach/water guy and having lived on HI almost two years I think places in the Carib have just as nice water. Maybe not scenery but St. Lucia, etc can come close

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.
All of the Hawaiian islands, besides Oahu, have a much lower population density than Tahiti.

Tahiti

I agree about St Lucia. That is the one island, besides Jamaica, that has scenery close to Hawaii. Caribbean beaches and water can't be touched, at least in this hemisphere. As you know, Hawaii has a blend of beach types. You have just a few that offer the calm, serene and beautiful colored water of the Caribbean. But then you can stand on a north shore beach and watch powerful waves just pound the rocks and cliffs and be overwhelmed by the spectacle. That variety is pretty cool, at least on Kauai.
But chosen wisely and with some research, one can never go wrong vacationing in the Caribbean.

I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon. I've also traveled around the Caribbean, and for the most part, it's a giant ghetto.
ETA:
As others have said, the water in the Caribbean is beautiful.

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

I've been all over the Caribbean and to Fiji and French Polynesia (Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora). Spent about 2 hours on the Cook Islands on a short layover.
We want to go to the Cook Islands badly. They appear to be just as beautiful as French Polynesia. To those saying Tahiti, no you don't. You want to use Tahiti (the island) as a jumping off place for the rest of French Polynesia. Bora Bora is a gorgeous island and I'm sure it has changed a lot as I haven't been there in a long time but if and when we go to the Cook Islands we will fit in several days on Bora Bora if we can.
On Fiji you simply have to do a Blue Lagoon cruise Blue Lagoon Cruises. You'll cruise in the Yasawa Islands on a very small cruise ship packed with Aussies and New Zealanders. The Yasawa Islands are where the movie The Blue Lagoon was made and the water there is pristine. Tons of activities and drinking all day with people from Australia and New Zealand is a great past time all by itself.
