Sandals honeymoon advice needed from tiger fans

I'll be 39 and she's 40. We don't want to be around spring breakers, but don't want to be around retired folks either. Any recommendations on what the best island is? Looking to go all inclusive at a Sandal's Resort.

My wife and I are about to go to Sandals Grenada in June. It appears to be pretty quiet. It is couples only and is also their newest resort.
Airfare is a ##### though.

Bermuda is a great choice. It is too expensive for many teens/college students, but not too bad for employed people. My wife and I have been twice, not on honeymoons, but as excursions, and it is a great place to visit, very clean, very pretty, and very little crime there.

Lots of great islands..St Lucia, St Johns, Caymen. Do you scuba dive? If so try Cozumel(reasonable rates)..many all inclusive resorts, great diving, rent a jeep and check out the east side of the island for a day. There are also many all inclusive's on the Rivera Maya(Spring breakers tend to stay in Cancun.
If don't require a beach..I recommend Nayara resort in Costa Rica. http://www.arenalnayara.com/ Honeymooned there in Oct 2013(ages 49/50) and it was fantastic! Very romantic, private, great staff!! View of the volcano from every room. The romance package is worth it http://dgmcneill.com/costarica2013

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Sandals in Antigua many years ago, and my son and his wife will be doing their honeymoon there in April. Easy to get there. Airline connections are pretty good. A caribbean island that you actually feel safe going about. They actually like Americans. Beautiful scenery and beaches and all-inclusive as well.

We went there for our honeymoon and didn't really enjoy it until we left the resort to do excursions. Don't remember which island in the Bahamas though. It was close to.the exhima (so?) Islands. Took an excursion there which was a blast.
My advice, call a travel agent. They have great advice, deals you can't find, and they cost zero dollars. Call multiple agents until you find one that has visited a lot of resorts in the area you want to visit.
We used an agent 2 years ago for our Mexico trip to an all-inclusive and got an upgraded room for $1,000 less than the people we met at the resort paid for a room below our level. W

That's supposed to be sp? As in "spelling?"
Anyway, we're using the same agent for our trip back to Mexico this year at an even better resort for just a bit more.

Sandals in Negril Jamaica is right next door to a nude resort called Hedonism. Actually Hedo has a nude and a prude side. But the prude side has no problem walking through the nude side with the cloths still on

My wife and I honeymooned at Sandals in Montego Bay, Jamaica about 4 years ago and it was awesome. Food was great and as you know all of the resorts are all inclusive. The Montego Bay resort had a swim up piano bar to that was pretty sweet.
We did the ATV 4 wheeler ride, snorkeling, zip lining and the party boat. All of the activities were worth it but we really liked the zip lining and party boat.
You do need to stay on the resorts though for the most anything off of the resort isn't real safe. The activities were all fine though except you get asked to buy things (necklaces, t shirts, etc) everywhere you go.
We went in July and it was all couples (all ages) there so I don't think you have to worry about the spring breakers at all. That's one very good thing about Sandals.

Antigua or St. Lucia. We want a swim up room, but I'm not crazy about having a butler. Hope he only comes around when called.

swim up rooms are awesome. The place we're going to in April has butler service too. I'm also a bit uncomfortable with that. The last resort we went to had dudes that would just come around the lazy river (which is the swim up access) a lot. That was pretty sweet. Never had to move yet my tequila sunrise was never empty. Great success.
Word of advice, do not leave your flip flops outside of your room overnight. They'll be gone in the am.
