We are getting married Oct 12 and plan on leaving Oct. 15 and staying for 7 nights. We can't decide where to go, so I'm hoping to get some advice from you ladies. We were thinking either St. Lucia or Antigua, both of these being out of the "hurricane belt"since Oct is in the rainy season. We will be flying out of Milwaukee or Chicago and have a budget of $6,000.
These are things we are both looking for in a honeymoon:
- All Inclusive
- close to the beach
- we would be up for zip lining, boat ride/sunset cruise, shopping, waterfall hikes, etc.
- some nightlife, we don't want to be partying until 2 in the morning, but having a band or beach party 2 or 3 nights would be fun
- plunge pool would be cool, but not a dealbreaker
- Not sure we really want to stay at a Sandals, we would be comfortable at a smaller resort
Any resort recommendations or pros/cons for st. lucia vs antigua would be so helpful!
Should we get a travel agent or try to book everything on our own?
Thank You!
