I'm going on my honeymoon in the beginning of October. To avoid hurricanes and inclement weather, I would like to go to the southern Caribbean. Either Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, or St. Lucia (maybe Aruba). Is there anyone that has been to more than one of these places that can help. We like to be beach bums during the day, but we want to have clubs to go to and other fun stuff as well. Thanks.

My best suggestion would be to go to Barbados. They are a perfect honeymoon spot. They have some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and you can even choose a different beach for each day that you are there (thats how many they have).
In terms of clubbing/partying, I would suggest that you visit St.Lawrence's Gap. That is party central. There are a variety of hotspots to choose from and they each equally cater to your various party needs.
I have also visited Aruba. Its a very nice island but I don't think it offers all the things that you and your spouse may be looking for.
Have fun

Barbados would be my choice. Trinidad isn't much of a honeymoon spot, though Tobago has nice beaches. Trinidad usually has some type of party going on and eco-tourism but not much as far as beaches are concerned (unless you are driving). Barbados, however has a nightlife in addition to nice beaches. It's more convenient to get around in Barbados vs Trinidad. You can rent a car, take public transportation, or if you're staying on the beach, you can walk to banks, restaurants and grocery stores if you need to. Accomodation is more plentiful in Barbados vs Trinidad, though St. Lucia also caters to tourists & they have all-inclusives such as Sandals if that is what you are looking for.
If hurricane season is a concern, Barbados would also be my choice. They don't typically have the concerns as other islands as far as a hurricane hitting (vs Jamaica or Caymans). St. Lucia is nice as well, though you're likely to experience more rain there. You can also consider St. Vincent & the Grenadines. They have wonderful beaches, though not as much nightlife. On the other hand, you can visit Bequia, Mustique and the rest of the Grenadines in the day.
Whatever your decision is, good luck & have a great time.

I have been to St. Lucia and to Aruba. I have heard Barbodos is very pretty but not really much to do. If you are worried about the hurricanes then Aruba would be your best choice. Aruba, Bonnaire, and Curacao are THE ONLY Carribean islands that are outside of the hurricane belt. So you will have no worries about that. It is also very beautifull and there are a lot of fun bars there. Especially Carlos and Charlie's. The island is very small and you can see it all in one day so you have the rest of your vacation for your "honeymoon stuff" : ) Hope this helps.

That's a rough one. Overall, although the seashore is smaller, I believe you'll have a well time and first rate significance through staying on the remedy suites on paradise island close Nassau. Technically, it's the Atlantic and no longer the Caribbean however they've through a long way the first-class waterpark within the Bahamas and from the East Coast, US you'll be able to get a non quit three hour flight (e.g., NYC-Nassau- watch a million film and you'll be able to listen "Welcome to Nassau! That beats a ten+ hour flight to Hawaii...and the water is higher!). At the CS, you additionally get to make use of the entire Atlantis that is a real big and mighty estate. You will each love the significant marine atmosphere (valued at the shuttle on my own) and seeing the colossal yachts on the Harbor stroll. The water is crystal transparent and the snorkeling is first-rate. The seashores are high-quality, simply no longer very colossal- might be 50 toes to the waters part however that used to be well sufficient for us. The sand used to be blank and the water begins off shallow so it used to be rather high-quality- plenty of fish to peer as good. If you keep at CS you additionally get unfastened breakfast- do not do any meal plans. It could also be approximately a million/two the rate of staying on the Atlantis itself so its a first-rate significance and it is actually simply around the road. Only truly drawback isn't Ocean View out of your room- however that's NOT valued at yet another $two hundred+++ without difficulty, according to night time.

Depends on your personality. If you want to go crazy, go to Trinidad, if you just want to make whoopie, go to Barbados or St. Lucia. Tobago with a couple nights in Trinidad might be a good comprimise. Have fun.

i recommend taking a cruise rather than staying at one location. Everything is included which gives you more opportunity with the funds you have available to do great things like snorkeling deep sea diving and other great activities. The travel time on the boat is spectacular and usually if you consider that your food is included it can be much cheaper. The boats usually go to port the majority of the days you are traveling that would allow you to be beach bums most days, and the boats have their own night clubs or you can check out the local clubs if on an over night port.
I recently took a cruise and it truely was the best vacation I have ever taken. Good luck with the marriage and congratulations
