os1234 05:05 UTC 08 Aug 2007 | Hi, Looking for some honeymoon ideas for the South Pacific next July. Any locations I should consider would be much appreciated. Many thanks. |

The further away you travel either side the less diverse it gets. As for the quality that will be highly dependent on so many factors not to mention human induced damage. | 2
cbimages 13:05 UTC 08 Aug 2007 | Hi Take a look at Uepi Island Resort - Solomon Islands. Brilliant diving and snorkelling, amazing food - and cabin 6, newly renovated and perfect for a honeymoon - at the end of the resort, private, romantic, right on the water. Not exactly conventional 5 star - but by far the best in the Solomons. But hey, who wants sterile hotel rooms and hordes of guests? Small guest numbers, stunningly beautiful surroundings and very comfortable accomodations - that's my idea of 5 star! check the website - www.uepi.com<BR><BR>We go there every year - at least once, often twice. We nearly always meet up with others we've met there before - those of us that know the best just keep on going back! PM me for more info cheers Carol | 3
