Resort is CLOSED! Need advice!
We are getting married on September 4 and wanted to honeymoon at Cap Jaluca. I just called and they are closed for Sept and Oct. I am bummed! Cuisinart was my 2nd chice and they are closed too! We decided not to go to Anguilla, so I need ideas. We had planned to spend 5 nights in St. Martin (for nightlife, shopping) then 5 nights on Anguilla for the pretty beaches and snorkeling. Where can we go that would compare? We want to do more than one island.

As you may have learned, they are closed because that's the peak of hurricane season. Many top Caribbean resorts close during Sept-Oct each year.
Suggest you look at what might be open on St. Bart's, St. John, BVI's, Ocean Club Paradise Island, Barbados, even Aruba (though there's nothing there which will compare with Cap Juluca).
Are you set on Caribbean islands only?
Mayan Riviera? Hawaii?

to follow up on the Hawaii suggestions. I don't know if you are coming from the east coast but wanted to let you know that Hawaii is more reasonable than I expected. My husband wanted to go to Hawaii for your honeymoon but I thought the caribbean would be cheaper. When we researched I was suprised that it was really about the same for comparable accomodations. We did 2 islands and the inter island flights would actually be cheaper than the caribbean flights (I think).

Have you thought of Grenada - it is generally considered to be outside the Hurricane Belt. Twelve Degrees North is a small luxury resort that I have always thought would be perfect for a honeymoon. There are lots of other quality choices on Grenada as well.

I agree that Grenada is a good choice.
Beautiful island and wonderful people.
We stayed at Spice Island (nice but a traditional hotel) but found Bel Air Plantation (romantic and just beautiful) while there and wished we had booked there instead. Next Time....
