Though I have only done some research & reading and not visited (yet), it seems to me that Aruba is the best choice for your honeymoon based on your criteria. Of the three islands you mentioned, it has the best combination of nightlife and being outside of the hurricane belt. On Aruba you have access to casinos, local bars, live music etc for your nightly entertainment options, not to mention lots of restaurants that are relatively easy to get to.

Of the places in Aruba that appeal to me, the Bucuti Beach Resort is at the top of the list for its romantic and secluded feel, as opposed to the large, bustling, full-service high rise resorts. The new Tara suites in particular look quite lovely. check out the website at www.bucuti.com. There are lots of folks here who love Aruba who can give you more info on the other hotels there. No matter what, I hope you have a great honeymoon!

I would agree with ejcrowe that of the three choices you mention, Aruba has all that you have asked for.

LOTS of nightlife, lots of things to see and do and many very good restaurants.

I never stay at all-inclusives as there are always lots of good places to eat on every island, and if the AI has crummy food - as many of them do - you are stuck.

I have been to both Barbados and Aruba. They are both outside the Hurricane Belt. My choice for a Honeymoon would be Barbados. It is beautiful, green, tropical and has beautiful beaches. It also has plenty of great romantic restaurants and nightlife. Well Aruba is a desert with white sandy beaches. I live in Arizona and was very disappointed in the Island. It was drier and flatter than Arizona. Don't get me wrong it is a great party place with beautiful beaches, but it does not compare to the lush green tropical landscape of Barbados. If you want a beautiful setting for your honeymoon choose Barbados. Aruba is more a place to go party with friends. Hope this helps!

I have been to Aruba before with my family, and rarely ever left the resort because we did all-includive. We had a wonderful time. If you are about sight-seeing and things like that, I don't think Aruba is the place to go. However, if you are like me.....want a beautiful beach, beautiful water, few (if any) bugs, and great weather, this is the place to go. I am honeymooning in September and ran into the same problems you are having. Everywhere I wanted to go......Hurricane/Rainy season. So, that is how I decided on going to Aruba again. My soon to be husband and I will be staying at the Bucuti in the new Tara Suites for 10 nights. They seem to be JUST what I have been looking for. I am getting really excited!!
