Looking for some advice on choosing a destination for our belated honeymoon. I would like it to meet the following criteria:

All inclusive
5 star luxury befitting a honeymoon
Cost upto 4k in total
Allow us to put our son in child care occasionally
2 weeks
Due to work it would be end of august or december
Destination unimportant but I dont fancy a long flight with the monster.

I know its a lot to fulfil but I'm hoping someone has been in the same situation.

Is there a worse time to travel with a kid than when they are 18months to 3 years old ?!?!

Why don't you do something in the UK like a very nice hotel for a long weekend and then do it properly when the kid is older?

I wouldn't and am not myself considering any kind of flight with my kids til the youngest is at least three. Kids are currently 3 1/2 and 18 months....last time we flew with either of them was when the first was 14 months.

We flew to France with 18 month daughter and it was a bit of a hassle. At 3 a much longer trip to Orlando and she was as good as gold.
