Bahamas or Costa Rica in November

I haven't been to either of these, but they both look beautiful! To me, having food and drinks already included is way more relaxing. I did some zip-lining when I went to Costa Rica and it wasn't that expensive.

Thank you for your input!!!! It’s such a tough debate

I’ve been to the Atlantis, very nice lots to do! Water slides and the aquarium was awesome. We spent a TON on food tho. It ended up being super expensive but a great trip. I’ve been to the Bahamas quite a few times and this has been my fav hotel to stay.

I was was looking into Costa Rica for a honeymoon end of October going into November and everything I read said that’s when they get the MOST rain. I opted out, I’ll visit another time. Hope this helps a little.

Just to give you an idea my fiancé and I stayed at the Atlantis 5 days 4 nights last year and spent over 2k on food and drinks.

Oh no 😭😭😭okay so yeah Costa Rica for flight and hotel it’s 2k but all inclusive and then for Bahamas it would be 1k but doesn’t include the drinks and food 😭😭😭

View Quoted Comment That’s great to know too! I really wanted to get away right after our wedding but definitely not if it’s raining

We were in Barbados which is way further south of Bahamas in the very beginning of December and the water was a tiny chilly for my liking. If you plan on going swimming keep the weather and water temps in mind 😃

View Quoted Comment Wow no way!!! Where are you from if you don’t mind me asking ?.. my husband and I booked a trip to Barbados for dec of this year .. but we’re from RHode Island so chilly water for me is normal lol- also where did you stay in Barbados ?

View Quoted Comment We're from NY. We stayed at Sandals Royal Barbados. Had a great time! My husband thought the water was great - chilly when you first got in but then he got used to it. He thought I was crazy for thinking it was cold!

I stayed near the Atlantis at an all inclusive and we were able to go over there and see everything and use the casino and all that even though we weren’t staying there.

View Quoted Comment I will definitely factor it in! I need warm water

I've never been to the Bahamas; but I have been to Costa Rica, Tambor specifically. I absolutely loved it! I didn't stay on a resort; we rented a private house on the beach.
I went in the Spring so the weather was amazing! I don't think it would have been as enjoyable if it rained the entire time.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for the help!!! We may need to look at the spring but I heard flight prices are high then

We're most likely going to go to the Bahamas. I've been there before and stayed at the Riu, which is right next door to Atlantis. We just went over to atlantis and went to the aquarium and the water park. The Riu is all inclusive and adults only too so it's a really nice atmosphere. That's where we will be staying again if we do go back to the Bahamas.
