Need a PERFECT honeymoon suggestion

[almitywife]

What was wrong with Fiji?

im sure hundreds of people come home every day from fiji and loved it - for me, you cant pay me to go back.

"lost" bookings (they were deleting my emails as i stood there watching them!), thieving resort staff, DM's breaking our equipment because they "borrowed" it, drunken git (ie, british) tourists that eventually ended up with one guy hitting his wife, one woman hitting another woman and a local security guard being up on rape charges. we put in a insurance claim when we got back and went to back to vanuatu

oh - and too many aussies.... i like to "get away" from home, not change location and have all the same yobbos


but i repeat!!!! im sure hundreds of people come home every day from fiji and LOVED IT!

it was just our turn to have one of those trips

What nut said.

 

[almitywife]

actually Alcina hit it on the head

what sort of diving do you want to do, does the Mrs-2-B dive? how many flights do you want to endure to get there, how much time do you have available and ignore Hockey and TC...they are cheeky boys

Gangga Island . Small island. Nice resort. Good diving, they cater for honeymoons and have a spa etc.

Palau.

If you're both keen divers then maybe Mabul water bungalows (was there a few weeks back on our second visit) or kapalai dive resort, both at Sipadan.

Cheers,
Rohan.

Kewl!

Hawaii's beautiful but very expensive! For my two cents, I loved the PI (Puerta Galera and Sangat Island)! And the diving in Hawaii is not the best! Beats the hell out of cold, murky lakes and quarries though! I certainly can't complain about it too hard! Manta ray dive in Kona is an absolute must! While on the Big Island, the volcano (above water) is a must too.

I second that choice. They don't just "cater for honeymoons", that resort is a pretty famous boutique honeymoon destination for Europeans. Having excellent diving a short boat ride away or stunning diving in Minado & Lembeh a bit longer boat ride away is icing on the cake - and that is a damn good wedding cake too.

My second choice for a diving honeymoon in this hemisphere would be Bali though finding the right spot for a honeymoon & diving might be a little tougher. The best places with easy access to diving may not be the best romantic type place you want for your honeymoon and vice versa. You should be able to find a good compromise though that fits your needs.

oh your good...........

Hey, I am French...

This is actually how my girlfriend and I like to travel, it's not so much about traveling cheap, it's more about avoiding the "big tourist super resort / disney land " type of place. We like to "blend in" with the culture as much as we can... best way to experience a country and the people that live in it. But we do like to finish it up pampered, spoiled, doing nothing but enjoy each other... We only live once.
