Also looking for great beach and great pools for an August Honeymoon.<BR>Anywhere but Jamaica.<BR>thanks

Well, some people consider this the Caribbean and some don't --- Royal Hideaway in the Mexican Caribbean near Playa Del Carmen. Perfect for a honeymoon, probably the best food I have had anywhere in Mexico or the Caribbean and that includes lots of high-end non AI places. Also, one of the best values for a luxury resort we have experienced.

THanks Eileen, <BR>but I am looking for an island destination, not Mexico. Honestly, I have considered RH and AventuraSpa Palace, but since I always holiday in Mexico, I am wanting a Caribbean Island this time.<BR>Any other info is appreciated...

Although I am a big fan of AI's, food is usually not great. If that's your priority, you might want to reconsider.

What's your budget? <BR><BR>Biras Creek on Virgin Gorda is supposed to have terrific food. <BR><BR>You could also look at Jumby Bay on Antigua. That was the best food we have enjoyed at an all-inclusive by far.<BR><BR>These are not "pool" resorts, though.<BR><BR>Have you considered taking a meal plan at one of the Ritz Carltons? Or maybe at the Hyatt Cerromar in PR?<BR><BR>If your budget does not permit these resorts, take a hard look at Club Med. As far as the traditional all-inclusives go, they have the best food by far. Can't beat the French when it comes to cooking!
