AI's NOT in Mexico? Perhaps Europe?
DH and I want to go to an AI for our 10 year anniversary next year. We'd really like to go somewhere where we feel like the only people on earth, but we are limited by our budget of 5k. We also only have a week of vacation time, so we don't want to go around the world. Europe or the Caribbean would be great.
Any suggestions? I've searched through pages of threads, but it seems most AI threads are heavy on suggestions for Mexico, and we aren't interested in Mexico.
Re: AI's NOT in Mexico? Perhaps Europe?
None in Europe as far as I know but there are alot in the Caribbean - Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Belize, Costa Rica, Aruba, St. Lucia, Roatan, and so on...

With the cost of flights to Europe, you may be hard pressed to afford the "feeling like the only people on earth feeling" for 5K but it's worth a look.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

LOL! I'll be sure to avoid this one.
It sounds like the Caribbean is probably our best bet. THanks for the suggestions - keep 'em coming!
Check out Peter island in the BVIs. It is wonderful! Pretty quiet place with great food, beautiful pool and beaches. The resort is the only thing on the island--you fly into Tortola and then they pick you up in a boat and bring you over to Peter island.
The spa is amazing!
You can sign up to be dropped off at a beach where you are the only ones there for 2 hours.
Also, you can go on some great snorkeling trips-we did one to the Virgin Gorda baths.
I have 2 suggestions but neither is an AI. We went to Vieques for our honeymoon and literally were the only people on the beach every day. We skinny dipped even! There is great snorkeling there. We stayed at Hacienda Tamarindo. There are few tiny shops and restaurants there and it is very sparsely populated.
It is more primitive but we stayed at a Red Sea beach camp in Nuweiba. We stayed at Sawa camp. It is very simple, grass huts right on the beach with mattresses and mosquito netting and a hammock. Very chill laid back atmosphere with good food and accommodating staff. The one caveat is that it is a camp style bathroom but it was impeccably, spotlessly, weare bare feet clean when we were there just a year and a half ago. I was 21 weeks pregnant and very comfortable. Most travelers are German.
