Introduction: The Best Honeymoon Resorts Frommer

Sandals (Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios; tel. 800/SANDALS in the U.S.): These resorts pride themselves on fun, food, and drink, laid out in abundance and all paid for in advance-no tips or bills here. Staff members bring heroic amounts of community spirit and enthusiasm to weddings. All the properties are high-quality, but Sandals Royal Caribbean at Montego Bay and Sandals Dunn's River at Ocho Rios are probably the best in the chain.

Half Moon Golf, Tennis & Beach Club (Montego Bay; tel. 876/953-2211): This resort offers honeymooners deluxe oceanview rooms and cottages fronting a near-perfect crescent-shaped beach. There are lots of activities, too, such as aerobics, tennis, swimming, and, most definitely, golf.

Jake's (Treasure Beach; tel. 800/OUTPOST): Funky and idiosyncratic, this is a really offbeat choice for a honeymoon where no one will find you. Set on a remote rocky beach, the place is small and personal.

Jamaica Inn (Ocho Rios; tel. 800/470-6975 in the U.S., or 876/974-2514): Winston Churchill slept in a suite here; if you can't afford that suite, there are plenty of other classy rooms fine for honeymooners. The resort opens onto a private cove with powdery champagne-colored sand and maintains a British colonial aura of formality.

Grand Sport Villa Golf Resort & Spa (Ocho Rios; tel. 876/974-1027): The honeymoon villas at this stately, plantation-style spa and resort are perfect private retreats for newlyweds. Each has a private attendant and pool. Guests are pampered with massages, pedicures, and manicures. The resort is all-inclusive, and there's a range of sports facilities.

Blue Lagoon Villas (Port Antonio; tel. 800/237-3237): A favorite with movie stars visiting "off the record," this pocket of posh is pure luxury: Each plush villa comes with a dedicated chef, housekeeper, and butler. Break out your wallet.

Sans Souci Resort & Spa (Ocho Rios; tel. 800/448-7702 in the U.S., or 876/994-1206): Sink into one of the whirlpool tubs in the elegant marble bathrooms here-with your newly acquired spouse, of course-and the day is yours. This is a far classier joint than the Sandals properties. An on-site spa and clothing-optional beach are also alluring for many couples.

Breezes Runaway Bay (Runaway Bay; tel. 800/GO-SUPER or 876/973-4820): Ten kilometers (6 miles) west of Ocho Rios, this all-inclusive hotel re-creates the South Seas on Jamaican soil. It's stylish, with luxurious accommodations and good food. Activities include reggae classes.
