Honeymoon

Hi,
I would love to go to Mexico (particularly the el dorado seaside suites) but at the moment its coming in at £3854, Ideally I don't want to spend over £3000.
Is it worth hanging on & seeing if the prices drop further (It's already come down by £200 in the past 2 weeks), I have been advised by a well known holiday company that prices should keep dropping as fuel prices go down but they couldn't guarantee that.
Or should I start looking elsewhere?

Can anyone recommend anywhere nice? We would like all inclusive, adults only, 5* & a few good places to visit (ie in mexico we like the look of explor, the mayan temples & xcaret).
Thankyou

    Oops yes that would help.

    We are getting married on the 8th of August, so would like to leave for our honeymoon anytime after the 10th, preferably for 10-14 days.
    Our son's birthday is on the 2nd of September so we need to be home before then.

    Have a look at the climate for August, could be very hot and very sticky.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    Do you have any recommendations?
    We are not very well travelled, we've both been to Cyprus & I've also been to Egypt but that's all.
    H2B really struggled with the heat in Cyprus (constant heatwave) but I put that more down to too much alcohol & not enough water!!

    August will be very hot in Mexico, but lots of places are hot in August!
