Help me decide! Sandals St. Lucia or Riviera Maya!

We can't make up our minds!
Our honeymoon is 2 weeks long-
So, either:
A.) 1 week Sandals St. Lucia, and the next wk another Sandals

or

B.) 4 nights at Royal Hideaway Occidental resort, then the next 10 nights at Grand Xcaret (also Occidental)

Any info or advice would be helpful!
Thanks!!

I'm booked for Royal Hideaway!!!! Cant wait to go. Have a friend who honeymooned at Sandals St. Lucia. She said it was fine but lacked in a few minor details - but I think they were just personal to her pet peeves. Both great choices.

The Occidental Xcaret resort is so cool. The most unique resort in all of Rivieria Maya. Couple that with one of the most romantic hotels in Rivieria Maya. That's a great vacation!

Which did you decide and why? I'm torn between Mayan Riviera and St. Lucia. I need to decide soon.

We ALMOST went to St. Lucia, last minute we changed our minds...but we researched and loved it- so that would be my vote.

Second place might be better given the time of year and the possibility of hurricanes.

but both seem beautiful and very relaxing!!!

Re: Help me decide! Sandals St. Lucia or Riviera Maya!

We just got back from eight days at the Sandals Grande on St Lucia, and we LOVED it. It was beautiful, everyone was wonderful, the food was pretty good, we had load of fun. And it was terribly romantic. As suspicious New Yorkers, at first we were wondering why the staff were being so nice to us when there was no tipping, but Sandals obviously wants their staff to be friendly and helpful. And they were. We did water sports, on a catamaran cruise down to the Pitons, we went ziplining through the rainforest--it was a perfect honeymoon for us, as we wanted something totally relaxing. We both want to return to St Lucia.
