AI Honeymoon advice
 
I am looking for a good all inclusive for our honeymoon. Anyone who has been to the Rennaisance know if this a good AI or is it more of a regular hotel? I am looking into Tamarijin as well which is specifically an AI. Any advice on those? Our Honeymoon is mid September and I want to make sure we get good weather since we are outside people. I like to eat all different foods so options on restaurants are good. My fiance loves flowers and palm trees and tours.
We were thinking of St.Lucia as well, but at that time of year I'm hesitant on booking because of the weather.
Thanks in advance!

I think you'll have to be a little more specific. Where are the Renaissance and the Tamarijim, for example? Where are you coming FROM? (You obviously are aware that September is hurricane season in the Caribbean).

oh, sorry, they are in Aruba. We're going from NJ.

I think the very first thing you have to decide is your tolerance for the risk of rain/hurricane. Personally, I wouldn't choose the Caribbean for a September honeymoon.

If you want an AI i Aruba, check out the Occidental and the new RIU.

Aruba is outside the hurricane belt so you should be ok.

The location of the Renaissance is not ideal; we would have rather stayed at the Marriott Stellaris on Palm Beach. The private island is very nice but it makes it a production just to go to the beach!

I've decided on the Tamarijn, will let you know how everything goes. Thanks for the advice!
