In-Depth Information
Getting married on your honeymoon. Several all-
inclusives offer free weddings; all offer various wed-
ding packages. You'll find experienced wedding
planners at these resorts who can simplify paper-
work and make your wedding a special, hassle-free
day.
We love all-inclusive resorts, but we are careful to balance a
stay there with island tours or visits to off-property restaurants
so as not to miss island culture. Even with these extra expendi-
tures, we've found most of these resorts to be economical
choices.
In selecting an all-inclusive, read through the offerings care-
fully. Are all drinks included or just wine with dinner? Are tips
included? Airport transfers? Watersports but not motorized
sports? Scuba diving? Know what features are important to the
two of you and see if those are included in the package price.
Jamaica is the king of the all-inclusive, but you'll find them on
several other islands, especially Aruba, Barbados, St. Lucia,
Antigua, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos.
Bed & Breakfasts and Small Inns
If you're looking for peace and quiet, B&Bs and small inns offer
good getaways and a chance to immerse yourself in more of the
local atmosphere.
These small inns, many built around historic greathouses on
former plantations, are intimate properties that host only a
handful of guests at a time. Here, the two of you will be part of
just a small group and you'll get to know each other as you
would aboard a small cruise. Often, the owners of the inn reside
right on property, so you'll receive personal attention.
Our favorite inns make us feel like we're guests of the family re-
turning for another stay. We enjoy chatting with other guests,
usually experienced travelers, and with the owners, who give
us an insight into island life. Over the years, we've shared din-
ner conversations with hoteliers about hurricanes, gardening,
local dining specialties, sports, and island life in general. It has
given us a perspective on these destinations that we would
never have received at a larger property.
