Honeymoon in paradise

[nezageddon]

Hello all

It has been awhile since my finace and I have been on this forum. We were in St. John in October of 05 and absolutely loved it. We stayed in a house in Coral bay and it was the best trip ever.

In November we are getting married and are looking to experienced travelers like you all to help us pick the most amazing location to spend our honeymoon in.

If anyone is willing to spend a few minutes giving us their top 5 lists, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Top 5 on STJ or anywhere on the planet??

I've not been to Bora Bora or Tahiti. Paris is extremely romantic, but STJ is the most romantic place I'VE ever experienced.

If you want romantic, then a "private" villa is much better than any resort, no matter where you are.

I was talking anywhere on the planet. I came to the St. John forum because it is absolutely one of the best places to talk travel. There are very knowledgeable people here that are super friendly.

One place that we were considering was the Oyster Bay Resort in St. Martin, don't know if you know anything about that particular place or if anyone else does.

Thanks for the list, we heard good things about virgin Gorda before. Are the cook islands laid back like St. John or more touristy?

The Cook Islands are very laid back. That's why we liked it so much. It's a true south pacific paradise and half as expensive as Tahiti. It's the most beautful place I have ever visited, specially Aitutaki. We have seriously talked about going back. It's just right on the opposite side of the planet for us, so we need at least three weeks vacation to go there.
