Shortly after returning from Thailand, I headed off to Petit St Vincent Resort. This is a private island resort located within the chain of islands called St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Southern Caribbean. I absolutely loved this resort, and I can’t recommend it enough for honeymoon couples!
This is a private island resort with 22 individual cottages, gorgeous white sand beaches, and unbelievable service. The atmosphere is so relaxed on the island, and the staff is incredibly friendly and anxious to help with anything you need.
You can do as much or as little as you want during your stay on the island. There are private beaches throughout the island, so you can be dropped off for a day of complete privacy with a picnic lunch. If you are looking to be a little more active there are hiking trails throughout the island (the views from the top are incredible!), as well as snorkeling, kayaks, and tennis. The resort can also arrange sailing trips to visit the Tobago Cays for unbelievable snorkeling, and to other nearby islands including Carriacou, Canouan, and Mustique.
An absolute must is a visit to the resort’s new spa. It is built up on a hill and the spa rooms can be completely open so you can feel the breeze and hear the waves while you are getting your spa treatments. Heaven.
Another fabulous recent addition to the island is the beach restaurant and beach bar. Lobster doesn’t get any fresher than this!

The island resort has just 22 private cottages right on the beach, and over 2 miles of beautiful white sand beaches. The resort has great restaurants, and will also pack up a picnic for you and drop you off on a secluded beach for a day!
While the island is very private, there is still plenty to do! You can visit their gorgeous spa. There are a number of water activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and of course swimming! You can also take day trips to other nearby islands such as Union Island, Carriacou or Mustique. For the more adventurous couples, the hotel can arrange deep sea fishing and scuba diving.

A boutique resort on a private 1,000 acre island. Do I have your attention yet? I thought so… That is the setting of the beautiful Parrot Cay resort in Turks & Caicos. Comprised of just 60 rooms, suites, & beachfront villas, all featuring muslin-draped four poster beds, Parrot Cay is a classic Caribbean getaway. Fly into Providenciales, Grand Turk and take a private car service to the Parrot Cay Resort private marina where you then take a private 35-minute boat ride to the island where you are met by a golf cart & whisked away to your room, villa, or private home.
In addition to the beautiful setting of the hotel, Parrot Cay also features an award-winning holistic spa, delicious & healthy cuisine, & impeccable staff that ensures relaxation & serenity during your stay. Even the most seasoned of Caribbean travelers will agree that the cuisine of Parrot Cay is among the very best, featuring not only Caribbean inspired, but Asian & Mediterranean infused dishes, using the freshest of ingredients.
I love the fresh & contemporary approach to Caribbean excellence at Parrot Cay. Whether you want to spend your days kicking back & relaxing on the powder white sand beaches or out exploring the island, the staff of Parrot Cay has the expertise & capabilities to maximize your experience to the fullest.
One of the biggest attractions of Parrot Cay is the COMO Shambhala Spa featuring treatments such as Japanese baths, massage rooms, Asian and Ayurvedic therapies, yoga and pilates studios, and private spaces for couples treatments or romantic meals.
If you get bored relaxing at the spa or enjoying one of two breathtaking infinity pools, make your way to the mile-long powdery white sand beach, completely staffed & full of water sport options & activities such as diving, bonefishing, windsurfing, & kayaking. Still not satisfied? The hotel can also arrange for expeditions to other islands nearby.
The rates for Parrot Cay are seasonal & many packages are available with special offers, discounts for multiple night stays, or include spa services or food packages. Contact us if you’re interested in visiting this island paradise!

St. Barths is one of my favorite Caribbean islands and so I was super excited when Camm & Liz decided to celebrate their honeymoon there! Here’s what the newlyweds had to say about their trip.
Where did you go?
St. Barth’s
What resort did you stay in?
Hôtel Le Toiny
Why did you decide this honeymoon spot & how did you come to this decision?
Camm and I had a few “absolute musts” when our hunt for the perfect honeymoon spot began: Caribbean, beautiful beaches, amazing food, and escape. St. Barth’s had instant appeal because I speak French, and it is known as a culinary jewel in the Caribbean fusing Creole, French and other worldly flavors. We chose it, and Hôtel Le Toiny, because it provided the seclusion and relaxation we craved but would still be easy enough to venture out for a night on the town or adventures on the water.
What was your favorite part about Hotel Le Toiny?
Just one favorite? Then we’d have to say the private luxury of our villa suite. From our own pool and patio, you could see nothing but palms, cliffs, and waves carrying the occasional surfer. The villa was so well appointed as an ultimate getaway, it felt like home the first night. Small touches including turn down service, his & hers flip flops and slippers, unlimited bottled water, and complimentary laundry services (returned the same evening, folded & wrapped in tissue paper) really spoiled us and put the resort experience at the top of the charts. I have to say the service went hand-in-hand with our enjoyment of the resort. Whether it was recommending a dinner spot or reserving a sunset cruise, the staff was gracious and helpful without fail. Breakfast served each morning by our private pool—the figurative cherry atop our bungalow.
What did you like about St. Barths?
We liked St. Barth’s, in part, because of what it wasn’t. There is no Señor Frog’s on the corner and no feeling like you’re on the wrong side of town. We loved it since it wasn’t over-commercialized or catering to people with kids. As for Toiny, the neighborhood we stayed in, it was outside of the hustle and bustle of the bigger villages of St. Jean and Gustavia. After exploring all day, it felt wonderful to retreat to a quieter side of the island.
Did you receive any special honeymoon amenities or upgrades?
As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we were upgraded from a Junior Villa to a full-sized Villa Suite. Awesome! This meant our pool was more than just a puddle, our bathroom was palatial, and our honeymoon all the more special. Also in the room to greet us were mini coconut pound cakes, fresh fruit, and chilled champagne. On our last night, there was a copy of the hotel’s annual art book with a parting note from the managers. A beautiful keepsake to share with friends.
If you could have changed one thing about your trip, what would it be?
We only rented a Mini Cooper for two days. If we had a do-over, we would have booked a car ahead of time for the whole week. While it was nice to go out a few times and not worry about driving, taxis in St. Barth’s are sparse and a bit pricey. Even though St. Barth’s is a small island, it is spread out, and the flexibility of the car would’ve been nice to have all week. Oh, and we backed into a retaining wall once…wouldn’t do that again!
If you had to pick just one, what would be your favorite honeymoon memory?
When I asked Camm his favorite honeymoon memory, he replied, “The food!” More specifically, his favorite dish was a rich bowl of truffle-infused mascarpone potatoes. Those were part of a fabulous meal we ate at On the Rock, the restaurant in the Eden’s Rock resort. For me, the champagne sunset cruise will forever stand out in my mind. While we just paid for a group tour, we ended up having the 60-foot catamaran all to ourselves! Emmanuel, our captain/guide/champagne pourer, was entertaining and knowledgeable. The sunset was a little cloudy, but still it was a magical two hour trip we will never forget.
Looking back, is there anything you would tell other couples planning their honeymoon?
Imagine what you would do on the “perfect day” together. Then, go somewhere you can do that! We had done some research on our own and through AAA, but in the end we were much happier with Katie’s recommendations. Use an agent who knows the area you’re interested in and who is responsive Next, set up a honeymoon registry. Many of our wedding guests loved the idea, and it enabled us to enjoy the food and activities we wanted. Lastly, enjoy your escape!
What 3 words would you use to describe your honeymoon?
Food. Fun. Love.
