Looking for Honeymoon Recommendations – Loved Excellence Punta Cana but Want Something New

Hey everyone! My fiancée and I are getting married in July 2026 and are trying to lock down our honeymoon destination. Earlier in our relationship we stayed at Excellence Punta Cana and absolutely loved it — the daytime activities, evening shows, and the option to just relax when we wanted made it a perfect balance for us.

This time, we really want to try somewhere new, but it’s been tough to narrow things down since every resort seems to have both good and bad reviews. We’re not tied to any specific location; we just want somewhere that feels special, fun, and still relaxing for a honeymoon.

Here are the places currently on our list:

St. Lucia • Secrets St. Lucia • Sandals Grande St. Lucian

Mexico • Secrets Akumal • Atelier Playa Mujeres • Secrets Maroma Beach • Excellence Playa Mujeres

Antigua • Hammock Cove

Curaçao • Sandals Royal Curaçao

If you’ve stayed at any of these, how was your experience? Would you recommend them for a honeymoon? And if you have suggestions outside this list that you think we should consider, I’d love to hear those too.

Thanks in advance — trying to make sure we pick somewhere perfect!
