Having a honeymoon wobble - suggestions needed

Hi all

I'm currently having a wobble over our honeymoon.
We had planned to go to the Isle of Skye, this would be in mid Nov. I'm startign to discover that lots of things on the island are shut from Nov onwards so we would be very limited to places to go (apart from the nice scenery) and for restaurants. We wouldnt want to go to many places as we have a luxury cottage to stay in but we would have liked a few options to eat out once or twice.

So now I'm thinking somewhere sunny. Has anyone got any suggestions for where we could go in mid November that isn't too pricey (max budget £2k for flights, accomm, etc) that offers sunny weather.

Morocco is out as we went last year and wouldnt want to go back.

thanks & help!

    Maldives, you could go to one of the lesser known islands for less than £2000 for the two of you for a week..

    Cuba! We paid £705 each for two weeks last summer- all inclusive in the 3rd or 4th best hotel on the island (according to trip advisor and there are over 200 hotels). It had lots of buffet restaurants, a waiter served French a la carte, free pedaloes/canoes etc and the trips were very reasonable.

    I would go back in a heartbeat if I could!

  • Cuba appeals to my OH, he prefers a holiday where he has other thing sto do rather than just a beach.

    JTR - who did you book with etc?

    Bear in mind that November is the end of the hurricane "season" in Cuba & the Caribbean, and may be a bit wet & windy.

    This is true although June is technically start of hurricane season and we had a five minute shower in the middle of the day while the sun was shining and that was it :rotfl:
