The Keys or The Islands ???

haven't heard anything good about Jamaica but If I was gonna go somewhere it would be cancun!

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

I've been to the keys.
Don't go for a beach. I enjoyed it. But I'm not a beach guy

My vote is Belize.

Mexico would be a place I would avoid until they get the cartel war under control. If thats possible...............

resorts at negril are nice. not a whole lot of reason to leave the grounds and go wondering around. Margarittaville is cool but still just a bar.

I've been to couples resort in ocho rios Jamaica and both my wife and I loved it. The only thing my wife didn't like was the bus ride from the air port to the resort. Those peoe drive crazy as hell and she gets car sick, but I thought it was fun!!!

Stop looking and go to the Excellence in Playa Mujeres - all inclusive and well worth it. Went to a Sandals in Jamaica for my honeymoon and this place was WAAAY nicer. The food was excellent as well as the staff. Definitely going back.

One thing to keep in mind......if you are going to "pop the question"
you can save a considerable amount of money in St. Thomas/St. Maarten/St. John.

When is was time for me to buy the big boy watch I always wanted, we sprung for a cruise and headed to St. Maarten. We did the cruise for two on the cheapo route and got the trip with the savings.

do your research here first though and know what you want before you go.

of course I am assuming you have not bought the ring yet!

I'll see what kind of info I can get from him , one of the reasons they chose the condo they got was they finally got there oldest daughter certified to dive and there is a semi deep reef right off the beach or there condo.

Ochos Rios is a great place man. You will not be dissapointed. You can hire a driver throught the resort and they will charge you about $250 for a day and only bring you to one location with other people. Now we hired an outside driver that picked us up at 7:00 in the morning and we didn't get back till 7:00 at night and if we said stop and get us some more beer or stop and let us take a pic by that rock then thats what he did. He charged us $200 a day. We just told him that we wanted to see the most popular attractions they had to offer and he did a hell of a job as a tour guide and stayed by our side the whole time. Staying at the resort is nice and relaxing but there is alot there to experiance. 2 of my favorite places were Bob Marleys house and Dunns River Falls. My wife said she has our drivers email and # somewhere she was saving for when we go back in September if you want it. Are you going to do the whole rose petals on the beach in the sunset on one knee? They can arrange that for you.

[Hopedale Hustler]

No rose pedals for me man I'm thinking ima do it on the water during a dive or something like that..but who knows...I'm excited and cat wait till February....anyone know how warm it is down there in Feb.??

[Big Flounder]

Not sure about feb but I went in dec and it was HOT

That's my next destination. Been trying to get there for years, but waiting on a good airfare deal. I've heard it's one of the few "unspoiled" places in the Caribbean.
