hey girl! i have never been to hawaii, though i hear its fabulous. we were hoping to go this summer... but im not sure if its going to happen. IF you do go to hawaii, i would say to make sure you have a good 9+ days to really enjoy it.
we went to sandals in st. lucia for our honeymoon. it was AMAZING. i would suggest there if you like to do a lot... theres a lot of great adventure tours like ziplining and stuff. but you can also lay on the beach or at the pool and drink frozen drinks all day if that's more your speed.
on our one year anniversary we went to st. thomas and spend some time on st. john {its a short ferry ride away}... several of the beaches are among the top 10 in the WORLD and are sooo amazing.
we've also been on several cruises to the bahamas, jamaica, grand cayman, st. maarten, st. thomas, etc... so if theres anything i can help with- let me know!
We are going to Maui next month and I can't wait! For our 2 year anniversary we cruised to Mexico and loved it! If you stay there I'd stay in Cabo or Cancun. I LOVE Puerto Vallarata but I hear it's getting pretty dangerous there :( Hawaii is going to cost twice-three times as much as Mexico. So if money is an issue you might want to wait for Hawaii.
I vote Hawaii! I went with my family years ago, and I was really too young to be able to give you details on our trip, but it was lovely! Beautiful beaches and lots of fun places to shop and eat. Loads of tourist things to do, too! Best of luck planning! And remember to book massages...totally necessary post-wedding :)
Mexico is dangerous...If you go to an exclusive resort you will be ok, but it is not near as luxurious as Hawaii or the Virgin Islands! If you have the money to splurge- Hawaii is your best bet, but I recommend a cruise (personal fave for relaxation and fun), an all inclusive like Sandals, or St. Thomas. I LOVE St. Thomas.
I went to Playa del Carmen in Mexico for spring break and it was the fanciest/prettiest place I've EVER been! You should look into the Royal de Carmen!
Got to Cozumel! I love Mexico, and Cozumel is an island by Cancun. It's an island. There's so much to do there, and if you want you can take the ferry back to Cancun and Playa Del Carmen for the day or 2 days. It's a lot of fun. Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Shopping, Festivals, I mean so much FUN!
We just got back from 15 days in Hawaii and I am now recapping on the blog so be sure to check it out. We hit four different islands and they were all very different from the next. We had a blast. I suggest Kauai or Maui would be the best for you!! We stayed at all Marriott's and then at the Westin in Maui which was gorgeous..you can't go wrong with a Marriott, Hyatt, Sheraton, Hilton etc.
We went to an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic and it was worth every penny!!! I can email you more info if you want it! What's your budget?
A couple of my sorority sisters have gone to the DR, too, and they all had great experiences!
Just found your blog after seeing onenofnyour comments on mine! Such a nice and fun distraction from my everyday life. Have to throw in my two cents about honeymoon. We went to Hawaii for ours 3 years ago and we still talk about it. There is no place on earth like it, it is expensive but worth every penny and more!vwe went to kauai and Maui, nothing like it!! Good luck with the big decision...

St. Thomas or St. John would be a great choice!! I have been to both and absolutely loved them!!
Oh tough decision!!!! Can't wait to hear where you choose!?
Hawaii!! Go to Oahu or Maui...and just relax!!

If you don't want to have to worry about currency, passports and customs then Hawaii is your bet!!
