Honeymoon suggestions

[go iggy]

We are going on our honeymoon in january but are not sure where to go other then we want to go somewhere hot! We've been to cuba, cayman, parts of mexico. We don't have any desire to go to DR, Bermuda, bahamas or Jaimaca. We we're thinking of los cobos or cozemel. anyone been there or can recommend something? Hawaii is too exspensive. we would like an all inclusive if we can.


Thanks

Dunno about your budget, but Bulgeria would be sweet.

Excellence Riviera,

South of cancun, North of Playa Del Carmen. 30 minutes from the airport

No Kids, Five star, No reservations for dinner. Great food at EVERY meal. Not the best beach but the rest of the place makes up for it in spades.

Huatulco is also nice. Great town nearby and lots of snorkeling if your into that kind of thing.

PM me if you have any questions. I'd go back to either place in a minute.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

We're going on a Southern Caribbean cruise for ours. Have a stop every day, so we can decide if we want to leave the boat every day or not (a resounding YES from my P.O.V.).

My fiancee and I love cruising. I can't keep still for long, which basically means I'm not the type of guy who can sit on a sun chair for 5 hours and be happy. I can do that for about an hour, but she loves it. this way, I can at least go do something to keep myself occupied when she wants to relax. I like to see several countries in a short time too. I should also note that this was a time-share and a wedding gift, so that helped the decision along quite quickly.

Did you manage to go to Kotor?

To be a hundred percent honest we didn't make it all the way down there...made it as far as Split and it was beautiful, so I'm just assuming that Dubrovnik would be just as nice, and the sea a helluva lot warmer.

No, we didn't make it to Kotor...Dad is...how do you say, a bit of a small towner, so he didn't want to head into Serbia/Montenegro. We did hit up Plitvice Lakes which were awesome, as was Slovenia.

Bahia Principe (upgrade to Royal Golden) on the Mayan Riviera. There's 3 resorts in one: Coba, Akumal and Tulum.
Awesome service, HUGE beach and excellent food.

I heard Bahia Principe was really nice. We stayed at the Grand Palladium which was awesome! The food was alright but the rest of the resot was extremely nice...

I would definitely check out the Mayan Riviera if you have liked Mexico in the past.

Greek Islands. Taking the ferries, it is not that expensive.

Bahia Principe at Tulum is very nice.

Sweet,
i'm going there for my buddy's wedding in January, staying at Tulum.
Glad to get a positive review from a fellow CPer

Curacao is in the Caribbean, just north of Venezuela is beautiful.

Another great place that I've never been but have heard awesome things about is Mauritius. The all inclusives there are supposed to be AMAZING.

I would suggest somewhere that has a comfy bed... know what I mean? nudge, nudge, know what I mean, eh?

[ok, ok,....I get it]

Barbados...not cheap but amazing. I have been to beaches in Europe (italy, France, and Croatia), as well as Mexico (eastside and westside). Barbados kicks the sh*t out of all of them.

It is also a very, very safe island. I have been alover the island, at all times of day or night and always felt safe.

Honestly, Bardados has to be your choice.

[habernac]

Costa Rica is awesome as well.

[ernie]

I would say Hawaii...one of the few places I fell in love with. But the big island NOT Oahu.

Even during tourist season on the Big Island you'll be able to find some more out of the way beaches that you'll likely have to yourself for a good chunk of the day. Not to mention some of the lovely hikes you can go on.

I remember spending Christmas Eve day on a little black sand beach where it was just me, my wife and 15 sea turtles.

We went to the sandals resorts in Jamaica but there Sandals resorts in other places. Excellent resorts, awesome food and service. Also the benefit if you go somewhere where there's more than one you can go to any of them during the day, which was really nice more restaurants and beaches. No kids too.

Highly recommend Sandals.

Nicer sand, clearer water. Ive been on beaches on the Mayan Riveria and in the gulf and there's no comparison.

What is your budget, and are you going to be buying this vacation on credit? If so, I would suggest keeping it modest.
