I'm hoping someone can direct me to the "perfect" Caribbean hotel/resort for a romantic anniversary trip. I don't want a high-rise, ultra-flashy place, but I also don't want a bare-bones place either. Something moderately luxurious and with a private, secluded feel (but yet a decent number of amenities) would be perfect.
These are my criteria:
Oceanfront/beachfront rooms--not just something with a distant ocean view, but a place where your room actually directly overlooks the beach; ideally one that you can walk straight out onto the beach.
Good food. Preferrably a choice of two or three onsite restaurants, or nice off-site restaurants within walking distance.
Moderate luxury--that is, I want to stay in a classy place without spending amazing sums of money. Max price we can afford would be around $400 per night (possibly a bit more if it's all-inclusive). We're going in October, so that's fortunately low season and should help us get more bang for our buck.
One thing . . . it can't be in Jamaica. I have too many fond memories there, mostly associated with an ex, so it's not somewhere I'd feel comfortable bringing my husband!
Thank you for any recommendations!
