Anyone have any experience or advice about any of them? The fiancé and I are looking into an all inclusive for our honeymoon in October. We just want to be able to relax for a week and not really worry about anything. Open to all islands so any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone
Well worth it. Also did. Breathless in Punta Cana Had fun there too
Short flights from Miami too
Congrats and good luck!
The next question to ask is - do you want an adults-only resort or do you mind having kids running around all over the place?
If the former, your options are whittled down quite a bit and that's mainly a good thing.
I'm partial to Aruba, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. John's, Turks & Caicos, and St. Lucia. You can't go wrong with any of those.
The other option that may surprise you in terms of how much money you could save is an AirBnb.
We are heading to Montego Bay staying at Sandals Royal Caribbean in two weeks. I'll pull this up and give my two cents on that one as well.
October might offer some solid deals too since it's not right in the middle of the winter.
We just did the Oasis of the Seas on RC - amazing ship. Truly unreal what they can do with these things. It's like the 3rd largest ship on the planet.
Food was good, plenty of space, booked a balcony stateroom, it was a lot of fun. Tons of stuff to do on and off the ship. And you can tailor a lot of what you are doing based on being on your honeymoon. They have an adults-only part of the ship that is gorgeous.
the ganga is cheap and great.
Stay away from sandals that say you can go to any of there clubs on an Island. It gets crowded and service suffers at dinner etc
Jamaica is fun, banana bread, Royal Jamaican cigars and coffee, Jerk Chicken and no problem mon attitude.

St. Lucia is really good, and has a number of all-inclusive options. I did Anse Chastanet with an all-inclusive package and it worked out great.
I've been to Punta Cana but stayed at Melia Caribe. Loved it but I know several people who have stayed at the Hard Rock there and said it was their favorite resort they've ever been to.

The wife, myself, my sister, and two nephews just got back from Presidential Suites at Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Club this past weekend. The resort is HUGE to be honest. We had a blast there. The water in Puerto Plata is more "bluer" than in Punta Cana, imo. We stayed at a resort in Punta Cana last year, name slips my mind. Definitely more quiet in Punta Cana than Puerto Plata.
Depending on flight times and your own island preference I highly recommend Sandals. We did Antigua and loved every day we were there. Lots of activities if you get bored easily (scuba, snorkel, kayaking, boat cruises, and many more excursions if you wanted to add on). You can also be as social as you want to be as they always have different events each night with beach BBQs, live music, entertainment, etc.
Plenty of good food and of course drinks. You can just lock your wallet away in the safe once you get there and enjoy yourselves.
I did Hilton Rose Hall, and I cannot recommend it enough!!!! Clean, comfortable, great restaurants and tons to do.
