Cap Juluca & Anguilla are always great honeymoon choices but Cap J is booked solid most of the year. CuisinArt is also a good choice. FYI, you can fly from JFK non-stop to St. Martin & take a 20 minute ferry or private boat charter to Anguilla. Very easy to get to from the east coast.

First of all I adore Bermuda!!! Its such an elegant little island. It has a European flare. Lots to see and do. Beautiful houses, gardens, winding lanes, wonderful beaches, and lots of restaurants. Elbow Beach is on a great beach. I love to explore all the beaches on South Rd. Bermuda is a short
1 hour 47 minute flight. It is not
the caribbean it is an island like no other!!!Great little restaurants too!

Since we loved Bermuda, go there almost every year, we ventured out to the caribbean staring the winter of 92. I wanted an English island, I guess because of Bermuda. We found Anguilla!
Its nothing like Bermuda! BUT its wonderful. The island is flat, arrid,
lots of scub-no lovely shuttered manor
houses like Bermuda. Goats, chickens,
and the most spectacular beaches, fun
little beach bars. We stay at CJ, and Elbow cannot compare as this hotel is unique. I adore both islands!

As Mary D stated if your talking about 04, Cap and even Elbow could be booked.
I agree CusinArt is lovely. In Bermuda look into The Reefs, and Pompano Beach!

I am off to Anguilla soon, and hope to get to Bermuda in July!

Also a consideration for Bermuda would be that they cater to Americans, so if you're there for the 4th of July, there will be fireworks. The beaches have pretty pink sand and the water is a gorgeous blue. The island is so pretty - full of colour, flowers everywhere. Bermuda is eye candy! I just don't go anywhere else now. If you would prefer to stay on a calm bay, (Elbow is not, but it is a beautiful expanse of beach), check out Pompano (www.pompano.bm) - have a look at the reviews at tripadvisor.com and you will see why we love it so much and why it is a great choice for a honeymoon.
