Help! My fiance' and I are looking to book our honeymoon for the first two weeks in August of 2014. We are looking at the US Virgin Islands (we have some restrictions about traveling outside of the US or else we would consider many other places). We are looking for an adult all-inclusive with pools/swim up bars - jsut a nice place to relax on our honeymoon. Any sugesstions?? Would Hawaii be better?

I would go to Hawaii instead. I've been both places, and the USVI just didn't do much for me quite honestly. Hawaii is AMAZING! and perfect for a honeymoon.

Great, thank you for your help! Now that I am doing more research, looks like USVI are not the perfect place for a honeymoon.

Actually, St. John, USVI would be perfect for a honeymoon. However, they do not have All Inclusives. You be able to get a romantic, secluded villa or try Caneel Bay hotel for a beautiful stay.

There's no all-inclusives in Hawaii either (if that is a must-have requirement).

You know it would REALLY HELP if we knew where you are going to travel FROM.

If you are absolutely sure you have to go with an All-Inclusive plan, I'd look at some of the other Caribbean islands (Jamaica) or the Caribbean coast of Mexico ("Mayan Riviera"). That's where you'll find more of the AI properties.

If you're willing to not have all-inclusive and be in a town with restaurants, that opens up entirely different options.

We will be traveling from NY. I guess AI isn't a requirement, but no children is!

If you want no children, you are going to have to rent a villa; I don't think you are going to find a child free hotel,anywhere.

I would think there are some all inclusives that might be for adults only. Have you considered the Dominican Republic as a destination?

mostly smart posters seem to be missing the point that this couple cannot travel outside the US

Staying in the US and looking for an all-inclusive that doesn't allow children is really asking for the moon. I think you are going to have to give on something.

Typically the only places that don't allow kids (and often it's only younger kids) are B&Bs - and they certainly won;t have swim up bars etc.

I can sympathize on not wanting a honeymoon place overrun with small kids - but the number of places banning children is so small that you are making things really difficult for yourself.

No children in Hawaii? In August? Good luck with that one. Some of the larger resorts have adult only pools. The Four Seasons on the Big Island has an adults area and caters to honeymooners.
