Recommend all inclusive resorts for Honeymoon

We went to the TD Travel Board favorite Excellence Playa Mujeres for ours a few years ago. It was awesome, would highly recommend. A couple of our friends have gone since then and all loved it.

Not really a fan of the all inclusive type resort. But we did Peter Island for the honeymoon and it was nice.

Just got back from my honeymoon and we went to Excellence Playa Mujeres. Without a doubt I would do it again. We had a great time and the facilities, service and atmosphere were more than we expected.

I'll be staying here for my honeymoon in a few weeks... will try and remember to come back and review, but it seems awesome

Ive heard Secrets Playa Mujeres is good too. Anyone been?

Secrets Maroma Beach. Posted a review with pics in the thread at the top of the travel board.

There are people who like Sandals and there are people who don't care for it. I love it.

I honeymooned at Sandals Royal Caribbean & Private Island in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I love that resort. It's small, though. The staff is awesome and they try to get everyone involved in all of the activities. Good restaurants on site, but you'll have to eat at some of them several times if you stay long enough.

Depending on what you are looking for, there are much larger Sandals resorts, including Sandals Whitehouse, which is further south in Jamaica. The place is massive and has tons of restaurants.

Iberostar Rose Hall is also a good resort.

We just got back from Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia in March for our honeymoon, and enjoyed it. We flew from New Orleans to Miami, then Miami to St Lucia(less than a 4 hour flight), from there it was a 1 hour bus ride to the resort. I wasn't sure what to expect at first but thoroughly enjoyed our time there, the food was great at a couple places and decent at others, the staff was almost too friendly. We did the deep sea fishing excursion and that was a good time, had read great things about the Joes Knows tour but decided against them when we watched them pull up to the beach and unload 27 people off of what is basically a 30ft center console boat, frick that. We pretty much hung out at the beach and swim up bar the whole week.

Our room was I suppose around the middle for their price range, we didn't do butler service or a room with a private pool or anything special, it was the "Pitons Oceanview with Private Sundeck". The room was nice and overlooked the bay/beach and we'd hang out and watch the cruise ships come in every morning, and was constantly stocked with drinks, beer, wine, etc.

Overall we had a great experience and would do it again.


CSB: Matt Canada and his wife were in the room next to us, talked to him for a bit and he and his wife were super nice.

Decisions like this are based upon the time you have, budget and interests (once you leave the room! )

Of all the islands I've been to, Grenada was by far the "coolest". It's not for everyone, and it doesn't have that "party vibe" like the Mexican resort areas.

But..

It's got beautiful beaches. English speaking people that like Americans (Clint Eastwood did help take their country back from the Cubans BTW! ) Waterfalls.

We have friends who's daughter is going here....

We didn't stay there, but Sandals is known for having great, high end type all inclusive resorts around the Caribbean.

I have a friend on a honeymoon right now in St. Lucia and he's lovin' it and the pictures are beautiful. We almost went there for a trip a couple of years ago.

Just be knowledgeable on the whole "all inclusive" theme. Many of these places offer just crappy well drinks (yeah, you get all you want) and bland food options. You want this to be special, so do your homework (like TripAdvisor). You sometimes aren't going to save money going "all inclusive" vs. just doing things on your own (getting a beach place and "self catering" (with a kitchen etc.)

Congratulations and have fun!
