Hi! I've found the posts here to be the most helpful in my quest to pick a honeymoon destination and I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right directon (or tell me I'm just to picky). I'm also considering a destination wedding if I find the perfect spot. Our budget is flexible, but would like to keep costs below 5K. We will avoid hurricane season (experienced 3 at home in 2004!). This is my dream location:
1. Beautiful beach (soft sand, clear blue water)
2. Lush and green with colorful flowers
3. Clean, update resort with nice pool, lots of activities like snorkeling, large fitness center, spa, hiking, golf, horseback etc., but provides privacy for couples(not tons of kids running around, if any)
4. Considering All Inclusives (possibly the new Sandals Whitehouse). They sound ideal for honeymooners, but I've read reviews they aren't worth the cost. Any opinions? We like the idea of not having to worry about paying for meals, drinks, and tips or searching for places to eat.
5. Also considering Marriot/Ritz Carlton properties (St. Thomas, Cancun or others?) since I have a lot of reward points from business travel.

Also - I've been on a few cruises, so I'm familiar with the stops (just not the hotels) at San Juan, St. Thomas/St. Johns, Tobago, St. Kitts, St. Barts, St. Lucia, Grand Caymen, and Cozumel. I've vacationed 3 times to Aruba and love it, but want something different for honeymoon.

I know this is a lot to ask of one place, but any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

I don't know when you plan on traveling, but the Ritz in Grand Cayman will probably be beautiful.

Look at the Ritz Carlton on St. Thomas. It seems to have what you are looking for. There is no snorkeling right at the Ritz but you can go on a half day sail on the Lady Linsey over to St. John and snorkel there. You can also take the ferry over to St. John from Red Hook, which is near the Ritz, and go to Trunk Bay, etc. etc. on St. John.

I do not like St. Thomas. I feel like I might as well be in Miami - there is no exotic flavor there.

Swept Away in Negril meets your requirements perfectly. I am very active and they have the best sports and fitness complex in the Caribbean that I have experienced.

Maroma, on the Yucatan coast might fit you taste/style/budget well.
