My Fiance and I are getting married in Sept. and would like to go on a honeymoon in October. I perfer not to go to Mexico, or Aruba since I have been there before. We need an All Inclusive resort and want it to oooze romance. Here are our top wants/Needs:

1. Luxury updated room. We would prefer a ocean/beach front suite. Private- like a little villa or suite for honeymooners

2. White sand Calm beaches for lounging and swimming.

3. Great food choices and drinks

4. Romantic spa, dinner, or activities

5. No Kids

6. Price range $3000-4,500 for at least 7 nights we will be flying from Houston, TX

This may seem a bit ambitious but I have planned a Platinum"like" wedding on a silver budget! : )

I just really want it to look romantic and be luxurious and for us to have an awesome time!

Thanks in advance for your input.

Galley Bay in Antigua is very close to what you want but unfortunately even with a sale it is not going to be in your price range, as you know, it's a very tight budget for what you are looking for. I think the islands you have flagged are going to be out of your price range, you might look at Dominican Republic as there are tons of AI's and many which are reasonably priced. The adults-only is also going to be difficult because most of the adults only chain AI resorts (Secrets, Sandals and Couples) most likely are beyond your price range but do check them out as there might be sales. There are just not very many smaller adults-only AI's which is why we love Galley Bay so much (one of many reasons). I have seen very good deals on skyauction.com and luxurylink.com -- I think that may be your best chance to get what you want within your budget. Good luck!

Thanks so much for your input I Will do some resrarch! DR would be too high up we want to be lower since its still hurricane season and the lower islands usually don't catch the hurricanes!

The platinum coast (st.james/holetown area) on Barbados is gorgeous and has a few places that would likey suit your needs. Do a search on Tripadvisor or the sites noted above to see if they fit your budget.

Sandals would fit your criteria, but not your budget. Their Villas with private plunge pools are very expensive. You might could get one for 3 or 4 nights.

Look at Secrets, Iberostar or Couples in Jamaica. The Jewel Dunn's River in Ocho Rios used to be a Sandals. However, even though they changed names I think they keep the old Sandals prices.

St. Lucia has a few resorts that might fit your criteria, but not sure about your budget.

I know you said you didn't want to go back to Mexico, but you may find what your looking for there in the price range you have stated. Look at the El Dorado Maroma Beach.

We've been to 14 AI's in various locations and fly out of Houston. It's rather difficult to find what your looking for in that price range. You may want to solicate the assistance of a Travel Agent that might find you some hidden deal or get you their perks you won't find on-line or bid for a trip at luxurylink.com.

Knowing

I agree that Sandals Antigua may be worth looking into if they have a sale. Then it might fit your budget. You didn't mention any outside activities however. If you do go to Antigua, check out the historic Nelson's Dockyard. It's very unique. They have so much to see there, including the Copper and Lumber store, which they converted into a hotel and restaurant. It has that beautiful Georgian architecture with an arched courtyard where you just step back in time.
