Hello everybody! I have started researching for our honeymoon planned for April of next year! My fia

Hello everybody! I have started researching for our honeymoon planned for April of next year! My fianc has NEVER left the country and I LOVE to travel! I have been to Mexico three times and visited Jamaica once. Each time I've traveled outside of the country I have done all inclusive. Personally, I think all inclusive is fine but I consider myself to be a bit more adventurous and I'm looking for something more exotic, laid back, and less crowded.
So far in my research, I've narrowed it down to a few places, but still am not quite sure which island seems best for us. Right now, on my list is Barbados, Curacao, and Aruba. I wouldn't mind any suggestions and would love to hear what people have to say that have visited these islands.
Beautiful Beaches- I expect us to spend a lot of time on the beach. We both love the water, snorkling, and I hope to get in at least one dive while we are there. Plus I can't wait to show my fianc the crystal blue waters real estate virtual home tours of the Caribbean!
Exploring- I would like to experience an island that is SAFE to explore by a rented car. We love to hike and sight see. I would love to go to a place that has great history and some beautiful buildings to visit., along with maybe a plantation or other historical tours.
Well since we don't plan to stay all inclusive, I'd like to keep our condo under 1500, and I'd like to stay 8 or 9 days. Pricing the above mentioned islands on VBRO.com , I've seen nice places around 90-160ish a night with some discounts for weeks stay.
I might recommend looking at Roatan. The island is not overdeveloped and prices for condos and villas are reasonable and would fit your budget requirements. The beaches are pristine and you will find the best snorkeling and diving experiences ever. The island itself is visually breathtaking.
Thanks Davenport. I do plan on booking by next month to hopefully get the prices around what I'm seeing real estate virtual home tours now. I have heard that about Aruba and thanks for confirming. As far as Roatan, would you say it's safe enough to explore by car? And does it have some historical sites and cities to explore?
Do you have any advice on Barbados? Right now I'm leaning towards staying real estate virtual home tours on the West side of Barbados. I have heard that restaurants are really expensive, I'm wondering if this is true or if we will be able to find decently priced food. Lets just say I don't consider us to be high priced meal people. Not to say I don't love good seafood but I won't pay like 80 bucks a meal for something. Thanks for your comments.
