Planning a carribean honeymoon in may, and need some recommendations/advice. The two i am looking at right now are hermitage bay in antigua and sandals emerald bay in the exumas. Have also looked at petit st vincent as well. The other two look way nicer than the sandals, but im am still leaning towards the sandals because of the golf course and ability to go bonefishing. Has anyone been to these resorts or have any others they would recommend? I am leaning more towards an all inclusibe because i just want to relax for a week and not worry about transportation to and from
Activities/ where to eat/ where to drink, etc. thanks in advance for the advice!

Exuma is a great place, but lacks amenities. The bonefishing there was pretty awesome though. Turks and Caicos has great bonefishing too, but you will pay more.

For a honeymoon I think Antigua is a better suited destination.

Visited there in 2012 for a wedding. Wedding was at the Sandals, it was ok. Then we moved to English Harbor, great island. Very safe

I just got back from my honeymoon in Saint Lucia and while nice, a lot of the folks were saying Antigua is nicer. That's all I've got

eta: Whatever you choose, make sure you do all-inclusive. The last thing you want to do is constantly be pulling out your card paying for drinks, food, etc.

Can't recommend this place enough. If its within your budget, I would book there and never look back. They will also give you the nicer hillside suites for the price of the beach suite if you tell them its your honeymoon. My wife and I can't wait to go back.

Another suggestion would be Cuba NOT HAVANA.
Great resorts in Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo...
NOTE: OUTSIDE the resorts there will be limited activities. Drop one star from the service rating definition you are used to.
If you book a 5 star, you will likely be getting a 4^

but certainly beautiful
