We went at the end of our honeymoon after being in South Africa we thought we'd need some R&R time and in the southern hemisphere winter was the closest/most cost effective option to get warm beach weather.
Probably not what you want to hear but I really didn't like it. We stayed in the Constance Le Prince Maurice-one of the highest rated hotels on the island. It was nice but a bit OTT and the prices certianly were. I like to explore as I'm not an overly beach person so hired a car. This was good for going to the supermarket to get cheap beers but the drivers are lethal and sadly my long lasting impression of the place is the amount of stray dogs knocking around. I guess it's true of many tropical paradises around the world that once you scratch under the surface the reality isn't too pretty. We visited some waterfalls, and sky dived which were goood.
On the other hand my brother and his Mrs went for their honeymoon and they're beach folk. They didn't leave the confines of there All Inclusive hotel- Legends I think and loved it.
ETA Don't want to sound overly negative and hope you have a great time, just be prepared if you wander out of resort under your own steam....
