Sandals (Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios; tel. 800/SANDALS in the U.S.)--These resorts for male/female couples pride themselves on providing an all-inclusive environment where food and drink are spread out in abundance and you never have to carry cash or worry about tipping. Enthusiastic members of the staff bring heroic amounts of community spirit and enthusiasm to any weddings celebrated on-site. All of these resorts can provide a suitable setting, but the most favored ones are Sandals Royal Jamaican at Montego Bay and Sandals Dunn's River at Ocho Rios.

Half Moon Golf, Tennis & Beach Club (Montego Bay; tel. 800/626-0592 in the U.S. or 876/953-2211)--This resort offers honeymooners deluxe ocean-view rooms fronting a near-perfect crescent-shaped beach. Newlyweds who didn't blow all their money on the wedding can opt for one of the large private "cottages," complete with their own swimming pool. Although there are plenty of nooks and crannies where you can retreat for romantic interludes, this is also the resort of choice for honeymooners who want lots of activities, such as aerobics, tennis, swimming, and, most definitely, golf.

Jake's (Treasure Beach; tel. 800/OUTPOST)--Funky and idiosyncratic, this is the offbeat choice of Jamaica for a honeymoon. No one will find you here, even the most intrepid of mothers-in-law. On the South Coast, and set adjacent to a rocky beach, this place is small scale and intensely personal, calling to mind something in the deserts of Morocco.

Jamaica Inn (Ocho Rios; tel. 800/837-4608 in the U.S., or 876/974-2514)--At one of the great hotels of the island, the "White Suite" is secluded on the brink of a promontory (Winston Churchill slept here), and it's quite a swanky place for a honeymoon if you can afford it. Otherwise, there are plenty of other spacious and classic rooms in which to begin your married life. The resort opens onto a private cove with powdery champagne-colored sand. The inn, with its colonial aura and a certain degree of formality, is a real contrast to the more free-for-all Sandals properties where anything (well, almost) goes.

Ciboney Ocho Rios (Ocho Rios; tel. 800/333-3333 in the U.S., or 876/974-1027)--The honeymoon villas at this stately, plantation-style spa and beach resort are set on lush hillside acreage and are perfect private retreats for newlyweds. Each has a private attendant and pool. Guests are pampered here with complimentary massages, pedicures, and manicures. A private beach is reached by shuttle as the resort is not on the water. The resort is all-inclusive, and there's a range of sports facilities, such as tennis courts--but you'll be able to find some privacy to be with your new spouse.

The Enchanted Garden (Ocho Rios; tel. 800/847-2535 in the U.S., or 876/974-1400)--The island's most romantic retreat seems to have been designed just for honeymooners looking for their own Garden of Eden. Tropical plants and flowers are spread across some 20 acres of gardens, along with a series of waterfalls and streams. The rooms may be a bit small, but 30 come with their own private plunge pool. A shuttle will transport you to the nearest beach. Some of the resort's drinking and dining choices evoke Arabian Nights, which should put you in a romantic mood.

Breezes Golf and Beach Resort (Runaway Bay; tel. 876/973-2436)--Lying 6 miles west of Ocho Rios, this all-inclusive hotel re-creates the South Seas but on Jamaican soil. It is stylish with luxurious accommodations and good food. One of the best gyms is found here, and activities even include reggae classes.
