Hello,
My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon and would like to visit an island in the Caribbean. We are looking for a beautiful island with a great beach that offers some romance and seclusion but is also close enough to town or other islands for entertainment. We'd like a more boutique hotel that attracts mostly couples with available activities such as snorkeling, boating, biking, hiking...
We really appreciate your recommendations of islands and/or hotels. Thanks so much!
You might take a look at the following site: www.honeymoonersreviewguide.com. Gary
congratulations in advance for your wedding!you can make reservations or if you want to have the place by yourselves which I know you want to, you can make the bid at luxurylink.com for these two fab spots:
Cobblers Cove, Barbados, West Indies
Cotton House, Mustique, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
goodluck!
I would also recommend Round Hill (near Montego Bay) in Jamaica.
Thank you everyone for your ideas. I really appreciate it. I'm going to look into all your honeymoon destination ideas. Thanks you for the help. I'll continue to check back in case others have more input.
Cheers!

It is very helpful when trying to decide which island to pick in the Caribbean.
Good luck!
Going to Barbados in June for anniversary, wife would like luxury and romance. any suggestions on where to stay, nice beach, close to places to eat, etc. AI or not.
Hi,thats a nice pressie!!!
The west coast is the most luxurious in Barbados,depends how much you would like to spend.
If you go to a very nice hotel half board is good enough as you get a good breakfast then only a snack is needed in the daytime, dinner is excellent and you can also just get breakfast and buy vouchers say for every other night and go out the rest.
In other parts of the island the hotels do AI as they like you to stay around the hotel because it can be quite rough at night.
The beach at St James is paradise all the hotels look out onto the beach and the Lone Star restaurant is also situated nearby.
I have done a page on Barbados perhaps its worth having a look,
Have a great time and Happy Anniversary for June, please let me know how you get on,

We are going to the Crane at the end of the month for a few nights before leaving on a cruise. The photos look great and most of the reviews give it a thumbs up.
I would try Cobblers Cove or Coral Reef Club. Both very nice hotels. Take a look at their websites. www.coralreefbarbados.com www.cobblerscove.com
The Coral Reef Club fits your description perfectly: Right on a very nice beach, beautiful setting, outstanding food and service, relaxing, and romantic. Here's my own review of it:

Enjoy your visit!
Hightide Watersports is situated in St. James some 15 minute drive South of Bridgetown. They have various boats and offer dive trips to the dive sites along the coast of Barbados. The boats were great, however the dive master leading the dive could have been a lot better. He did not give a lot information about the dive itself and we had to read up on the history of the wrecks and get information about the reef and fish we saw via an other source. All equipment is on hire.
Not necessarily something you'd go out of your way to find, but an interesting thing to stumble across: Here marks the original meeting place for the Barbadian parliament in 1639. It was supposedly upstairs in a tavern (the Bajans were laid back even back then it would seem).
Barbados had the third oldest parliamentary system in the Commonwealth (after the UK and Bermuda).
This monument is located at the corner of Spry and Roebuck Streets.
Bridgetown is nasty. There I said it. The rest of the island is calm, peaceful and very green. There are some really neat places to see on the island. The countryside and the rough shores of the west are really awesome. Beaches are nice too.
Bridgetown is the main city of Barbados. On our initial visit we spend one afternoon in Bridgetown shopping. On our last visit by cruise ship we got the shuttle into town and walked around taking in the sites and the life in the streets.
The bus routes are all "To City" or "Out of City". They radiate out like spokes of a wheel from the city.
Most of our cruise ship visits we have done excursions outside of town. This is the view of the city from one of those excursions.
