I’m sure you all watched The Bachelor last night,
because you know I did.
He seriously can’t hold a conversation with a tree.
I was as excited to watch the drama after the fantasy suite unfold as I was to see St. Lucia,
because it is where Kip and I are heading for our honeymoon in June!!
because it is where Kip and I are heading for our honeymoon in June!!
After much back and forth and being all over the map for where we should go, we decided on St. Lucia!
We’ll be splitting our time between two different resorts, The Sandals Grande and Viceroy Sugar Beach.
We’ve had friends go to both of these places and are so excited to go ourselves. By going to both places it’s great combination of everything we are looking for, enjoying two different experiences, and still meeting everything we are hoping for in a honeymoon.
Sandals give us the all-inclusive aspect we love and all of the water sports and activities we want to do, and Sugar Beach gives us our own private little secluded cottage we’ve always dreamed of and a luxurious honeymoon feel.
The always disappointing jackass Juan Pablo and the always sexed up Clare were at Sugar Beach for their date and fantasy suite night…. so I tried to get over my nausea at the two of them and stare at everything in the background to mentally soak it in.
Where did you go on your honeymoon or where are you going!?
Any tips for things to do?!

Oh the resort looks beautiful!! You guys are going to have the best time – 1. because it's your honeymoon and 2. because it's paradise!! Those villa's look like heaven! We went to Maui for 9 days and then capped the trip off in San Francisco for 3 days…perfect amount of sun, fun and relaxation!! Lost all respect for him in last night's episode – even though I didn't have much to begin with!! Can't wait for the tell all…Why i get sucked into these things, I'll never know!!
OMG looks absolutely incredible.
I went to Sandals in St. Lucia for my honeymoon. We had the last villa on the tip of the crescent with our own private pool and incredible view of the ocean and the beach/resort. They even picked us up and dropped us off in a golf cart any time we left our room so we didn't have to walk if we didn't want to. It was amazing. We did a hike in the rain forest that included a trip to the sulphur pits/springs and lunch overlooking the pitons. We also went into town for some shopping and local flavor, to a botanical garden, banana plantation and snorkel catamaran cruise. It is a beautiful place and I would absolutely go again!
P.S. I did watch the show, mostly to see St. Lucia again. Juan Pablo is…well, i have no words. Worst bachelor ever.
sounds amazing thanks for sharing such fun things to do! and yes…. he is THE worst.
Can I crash?! Looks incredible!!
Wow, that looks and sounds amazing!!! St. Lucia was in our top two choices of honeymoon spots! Love the idea of going to two resorts over the honeymoon! We're doing that too, in Belize 🙂
your honeymoon spot looks incredible! I loved seeing your blog post on it – it looks like an absolutely dream!
that is such a great idea to stay at two different places, i never would have thought of that!!
and just fyi, elan, one of the producers of the show said on instagram that st. lucia is honestly where he hopes to honeymoon one day because it was that gorgeous. so that will be exciting for you guys!
we went to puerto rico and did not do the all-inclusive but it was perfect for what we wanted which was basically just to be on a beach! you will seriously need a honeymoon after the stress of the wedding and it is so nice to just be somewhere where you don't have to do absolutely anything at all and can just spend time with your new husband!!

So now I'm watching the Bachelor because he is so disgusting, it has become interesting. I don't know the names, but I love the girl that walked off. I don't like the girl whose top keeps falling off, and the one with the horrid sister, should win the worst prize ever….HIm!
6,000 years ago when we were married, we went to Hawaii and a few other islands. Unfortunately before we left, there was a hurricane (or some natural disaster) on Kauai, so we had to cut that part of our trip out. Why am I telling you this? Make sure your plans are flexible when you go to tropical islands. It could be very expensive if they are not.
I totally think she does win the worst prize ever (him). Ah! I hope we have insurance – and hope the rest of your trip was great 🙂 Last nights episode was awesome with Andi telling him off. "ees okay." I'd want to hit him too!
You are going to love love love Sugar Beach! My husband and I spent our honeymoon there in October. We refer to it as Heaven and seriously talk about it almost every day. Their staff are some of the nicest people I have ever met and the food is amazing! I definitely recommend going with the all-inclusive package if you can – it is well worth it! Also, don't pay to go on a snorkeling outing while you are Sandals – they boat people over to Sugar Beach to snorkel and you can do it for free when you are staying there!
this comment made my day 🙂 thank you so much for letting me know the tip and for making me so so happy we are staying there! I think we are doing a type of their all inclusive but I don't know if everything was included, I feel like it was just some things – is there one you did where everything (dinners and alcohol) is included at Sugar Beach??
Yes there is! Your butler (yes, you get a butler and they are the sweetest, most helpful people!) can explain all of the inclusive options to you once you arrive and you can make changes to your plan if you'd like. My husband and I chose the largest plan, where all meals/drinks were included. SO worth it! We only made it to breakfast twice, but we had tons of snacks/drinks on the beach (dont worry – once you get settled you never have to get up – just raise a little red flag) and had sushi late night after drinking so it was well worth it. And yes..I gained back every pound I lost for the wedding. 🙂 Can't wait to hear what you think about it!
Gorgeous!!! I think I might need a second honeymoon. We split our honeymoon between two resorts and I totally recommend it. It was like having two different vacations in one.
So glad to hear splitting time between two is a good idea. I figure if nothing else It will help with Kip's ADD as well, which is just an added bonus 🙂
St. Lucia looks amazing! My parents have been to Sugar Beach and absolutely loved it! We went to Santorini Greece and I would highly recommend it. By far the most amazing place I have ever been. I like the idea of splitting up the trip at two different places to get everything that you want, I never even thought of that!! Can't wait to see your pics!

Greece was our other top spot! It seems like the most perfect place to honeymoon. That is top on our list for first vacation after wedding…. if we had more time I think Greece would have won by a mile!
We stayed at Sugar Beach for a week and it was amazing! It was beautiful and super relaxing. To get out of the resort for a bit we went to the sulfur springs, which i highly recommend and climbed the Piton, which was very difficult, but had great views. We chose the all inclusive plan and i highly suggest that because the food and drinks are very pricey.
Wow! that place is very very beautiful, I love it, hope that I can visit that place too.
