Dominica and Jungle Bay Resort & Spa
We spent 5 nights at Jungle Bay Resort & Spa, a small resort made up of secluded cottages nestled under the coastal forest. When we were not on a hike to an isolated waterfall, lounging at the pool, or receiving a sunset massage, we often found ourselves hanging out in our cottage hammock enjoying the simultaneous sounds of the jungle and ocean. This three year old property, which is built entirely of volcanic stone and local tropical hardwood, offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure, social and environmental sustainability, luxury, and relaxation.

Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is romance. A moonlight walk along the beach. A swim in a phosphorescent bay. A stroll along a rain forest trail. A slow dance as the sun sets. A drink under a lavish crystal chandelier. A horseback ride through a coffee plantation. A carriage ride through the Pearl of the South.

Hawaii (Molokai)
If you like the idea of a Hawaii honeymoon, but the thought of crowded beaches and tourist traps makes you think twice, then consider Molokai. There, you'll find dramatic waterfalls, the world's tallest sea cliffs, rainforests, fragrant plumeria trees, archeological sites, ranches, coral reefs, authentic native Hawaiian culture, and some of the most spectacular white beaches in Hawaii—but no stoplights, no crowds of tourists, and no building taller than a coconut tree. The island, which is 38 miles long by 10 miles wide, has only 7,000 permanent residents (most of them native Hawaiians) and 80,000 visitors per year. Honeymoon here, and the island is practically yours...

Alberta (Banff/Lake Louise)
Stunning scenery and excellent skiing make Banff National Park one of Canada's most popular tourist destinations. Jagged snow-capped mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, abundant wildlife and hidden canyons all contribute to the dramatic setting, but on top of all that, many of the area's lakes are an unearthly bright blue-green color due to their mineral content (one online reviewer says the area is "so beautiful it looks fake").
Banff National Park is located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, about an hour and a half drive west from Calgary (home to the 1988 winter Olympics)...
