My daughter and son-in-law are looking for a spot to honeymoon this February. Hailey is very familiar with the US and British Virgin Islands, but is thinking she'd like to go somewhere else for this trip so she doesn't feel so much like a tour guide for her never-been-south-of-Atlanta husband. They've mentioned both Puerto Rico and The Dominican, but as a Virgin Islands specialist, I'm not conversant with the best spots to send two newbies outside of the USVI or BVI. Any suggestions, advice, or recommendations?
Thanks! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.

I'm not a big AI person, and the DR is mostly just that. Are they on a budget- or is Dad springing for this? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> What activities are they looking for? Hiking, snorkeling, sailing/boating? Do they have specific ideas about what a Caribbean island should be?
If they speak any French, a French island would be great- St Barts, Les Saintes, etc. English islands like Anguilla? What about a sailing honeymoon?

In Dominica, Secret Bay has world class lodging on the hill overlooking two private bays. Many honeymooners come there seeking an unusual but private experience away from crowds and bustling cities. I host many on Sanctuary as day charter guests and know the staff, therefore, very well. They would not be disappointed. The food is amazing, served to your room, there is no restaurant! St. Barths is amazing for lovers and sailors alike, but a lot more $$$$$ Congrats!
