Honeymoon Destination
 
We will be going on our honeymoon around the beginning of February and I am wondering if anyone has any good recommendations in the Caribbean.

I am really looking for a good all inclusive beach front type resort/villa, not your typical hotel style room. We will be going for about 6 nights and do not want to exceed $4k. I will be using flyer miles with United and it seems the best options would be Dominican Republic, Jamaica, or Cancun to arrive on the same day but I am open to other destinations as well. We are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you for any recommendations, the search has become very overwhelming!

Puerto Rico is another island I have been considering.

Laid back, smaller resort, all new, all oceanfront, with the best service I've experienced. Akumal Beach Resort & Wellness Center. Should fit your budget as well.

Puerto Rico does not have any all inclusive resorts.

We've been to many AI resorts. Most in Mexico. We didn't really care for the DR or Jamaica. The Akumal Beach Resort is a family friendly AI resort. For a honeymoon, look at the adult/couple only AI resorts like Secrets, Ibeorstar and El Dorado resorts.

This is a good site to research AI's in Mexico:

I liked Jamaica (3x) or Mexico (20+x) much more than I liked the Dominican Republic (2x), personally speaking.

Mexico offers largest selection of All-Inclusive resorts. Don't limit yourself only to Cancun (which is Miami-beach like) but also heading south along the coastline to Playa del Carmen or the islands of Isla Mujeres or Cozumel.
