Does anyone know hotels similar to this one? Sandals Grande Antigua?

Question

We are planning on having a beach wedding...and only inviting our parents. We love this hotel, because of the private suites with their our pools...but it's a little pricey. Does anyone have an other suggestions with similar suites?

Any where hot and sunny would be best!

And where we can have a beach wedding.

The hotel Sandals Grande Antigua http://www.sandals.com/main/antigua/an-accommodations.cfm

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you like Sandals, try Jamaica Montego Bay. We stayed there for our honeymoon and it was fabulous.  If you want something a little less pricey, we stayed at this resort in St. Thomas that was beautiful. It is an all inclusive right on the beach. Congrats and good luck.

Answer 2

The Sandals in Antigua has recently been renovated and I'm sure the prices are expensive. prehaps a shorter time spend there would be more in the wedding budget. Did you check with a travel agent? Sometimes they can do better with the airfare and you can save $$$. They often have bulk air rates. We have saved money  booking our trips through our local travel agent.

I do have a recommendation for a honeymoon, it's not as luxury as Sandals but much more affordable. It just won a 2008 travelers award for the most romantic resort in the Caribbean. Golden Tulip Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba. it's located on one of the "top 10 beaches" in the Caribbean. Rated by Dream beaches of the World.

Here is a link with reviews and candid photos from past guests and honeymooners.
