Travel Tips
Ok. Bahamas is a no go. I've been to St. Thomas and Hawaii.

Hawaii is AWESOME. Golf, weather, black sand beaches of Hana, Pearl Harbor, Waikiki Beach on Oahu, Maui is AWESOME. Stay in the Kaanapali area. Beautiful beaches and not much wind because the mountin behind you shields you from the wind. Also, alot of shopping in Lahaina.

St. Thomas is nice too. Not much golf. Water is definitely warmer there than Hawaii, though. Can take a ferry to St. John for a day trip. We found a COOL place to stay called Secret Harbour on the east side. Has a tranquil private beach with unbelievably warm and clear water. Almost no wave action. Beautiful sunsets. All the condos on beach have beautiful views. White marble tile floors. Iguanas running around on the beach. Restaurant at the condo is right on the beach with a beautiful view.

Gotta go. Hope this helped.

Forget the Bahamas. It does not come close to the virgin islands or Hawaii. If you have the money go to Hawaii. I have been there 3 times and it is my absolute favorite. But, it is expensive.
A bit less expensive is the US Virgin Islands. You will spend about 1/3rd less than Hawaii. It is closer and VERY nice. Beaches are outstanding. Golf is tough to find but it is there. Check out www.mclaughlinanderson.com for villa rentals. This is the best way to go. Private house with private pool.

PS - Don't rule out Bermuda. LOTS of golf. The beaches are not as nice as those in Hawaii. But, it has a nice "wealthy" British ambience. Check out the Pampano Bay Beach Club. Google it. They have a website. Medium size, very nice and great food.
John gave you some very good advice. Rent a home and go to St John in the Virgin islands. Not sure about golf but the beaches are beautiful and there is great shopping. (duty free) you are close to the British Virgin Islands so be sure to take a trip over.

I don't know where you live but Hawaii is a long trip. If you have 2 weeks, I would consider going because the golf is top notch. The jet lag is rough on you especially come home.
The beaches don't compare to the Caribbean but the scenery is beautiful. It's that once in a life time trip because of the distance.
The shopping doesn't compare to the Caribbean either. The people are nice and the food is American ofcourse.

I would not recommend the Bahamas for a honeymoon.

Congratulations and have a great trip.
for the money...st thomas & st maarten are the greatest.
st maarten has great shopping on jewelry, electronics etc..be sure to bargain and lovely clean beaches with lots of rentals for jet skis etc.
st thomas had some wonderful snokeling and beautiful beaches too!
It's your Honeymoon! Live a little. Go to Hawaii.
Travel to the other places on your anniversary.

Hawaii has all those things and more. The place is consistently voted the #1 most romantic destination in the world.

Aloha,
Alice.
If you're wondering what to do in Hawaii, give this a try.
