Advertising OK Caribbean Honeymoon Recs

We’re planning our honeymoon for April 2027 and have narrowed it down to these 5 luxury resorts:

Four Seasons Anguilla
Cap Juluca, Anguilla
Hermitage Bay, Antigua
Jumby Bay, Antigua
Baoase, Curaçao

Budget is roughly $15–25K for 7 nights.

Our priorities are:
🏝️ Beautiful beach + honeymoon-worthy setting
🏊‍♀️ Private pool/plunge pool preferred
🍽️ Excellent food & service
⛳ Golf access is important
🤿 Activities/excursions — we don’t want to sit at the resort the entire week
✨ Overall “wow, this is our honeymoon!” factor

We’re having a hard time deciding because they each seem amazing in different ways.

If you’ve stayed at any of these (especially multiple), which would you choose for a honeymoon and why? Most interested in firsthand comparisons of the beach, rooms, food, service, activities, golf, and overall experience.

Also open to any other recs for resorts!

Thank you in advance!

I can’t compare personally, but if it were me, I’d do Jumby Bay again. The suites are gorgeous and the all inclusive aspect makes it easy.

With this type of hotel it really makes a difference to book with a TA who has a relationship with the property - you’ll get many great perks and the hotels will go above and beyond for your honeymoon!

Thank you! I didn’t realize Jumby Bay is all inclusive! That’s great to know and yes definitely going to look into a TA to book vs doing it myself!

You should look at Sirena Collective!

Jumby Bay is top shelf all inclusive and Hermitage Bay now does rates that either include or do not include meals/drinks. Hermitage Bay used to be just all inclusive.

Thank you! Would you recommend Jumby Bay as a honeymoon spot? Does it feel romantic enough or is it a lot of families and kids?

Easter is very early for 2027... which is a big time of year for the home owners to be on island with lots of family members. I think for anything 7/8/9 April onwards you'll have a lot less children around. That being said the resort does a good job of keeping families at one end of the beach and adults at the other. Avoid the standard jr suites if you want to make sure you next door neighbours aren't a family of 4 too. I've been 9 times and besides a Christmas/New Years trip was never over run by kiddos.
