Honeymoon Options????

As the title says I'm looking for honeymoon options. I would like to Caribbean. We will be getting married June 23 and looking for something around 2 weeks. She said she doesn’t want to go to Mexico or Jamaica. I'm thinking an all inclusive would be best. I was thinking about Sandals St. Lucia. I would prefer a golf course and a good spa for her while I'm playing golf. We also are considering Pacific locations like Fiji or Bora Bora but we both hate long plane rides. Anyone that has some good ideas please let me know because I want to get this booked ASAP. Thanks guys!!!!

If you have a big budget, how about the Maldives..

It depends what you're after, sounds like you want a beach/tropical island honeymoon?

I would reconsider the golfing while she is in a spa. I've read many stories about guys who expected to play golf on their honeymoon and it didn't work out well. Just take a golf trip another time.

Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, a trip from southern france, through italy (almalfie coast) into the greek islands.....or S.E.Asia - lots of high end resorts in places like Bali (oberoi or the ayana hotel), Phuket (check out the Six-senses hotel and spa, Sri Panwa is also really good)...and go island hoping around thailand (Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui, etc...), malaysia, indonesia. Everything is a very close distance-wise...and you'll get to experience new cultures, cuisine and scenery.

Please think twice about French Polynesia for your honeymoon......it is incredible, Bora-Bora, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea-Tahaa......honeymoon paradise.......with all my marriages, my honeymoons were all in French Polynesia.

And Bob managed to work in quite a bit of golf during his honeymoons. So take some tips as this man could write a book on the topic. Ain't that right, Bob?

Grand Cayman is one of my favorites. I would do a 2 week cruise though.
