Any suggestions for locations with good weather?

Antigua looks pretty good. Anyone been in July? what's it like?

Cheers,
Adrian

You do realise that May - October is hurricane season in that neck of the woods?

Although to be fair, most of the biggies happen around August/September.

Yeah but looking at the stats Antigua and Aruba seem to have less rain than some of the other islands. Supposidly the storms aren't constant if they happen at all and dont last long. This might be utter rubbish of course but think I read it somewhere!

Actually, yes. I've been to Aruba in July and it was fine. It, and its neighbours Bonaire and Curacao sit outside the hurricane zone apparently.
Not much to do on Aruba, however it does have very nice beaches.
I though Antigua was a bit st to be honest.

The only place to go for a really memorable honeymoon is the Indian ocean, Maldives, Mauritius or Seychelles.
We would go to Veligandu in the Maldives in a heart beat - read reports in Trip advisor. It's fabulous.

As said before, any Caribbean island save for the NL Antillies are in the hurricane belt and you will likely get rain.

I'm off to Aruba in July. wink

That's what I'm wondering. The beaches etc look just as impressive in the carribean!
