Looking for advice on first trip to Jamaica (honeymoon)

[Muck]

First trip was AI, never again! There are too many places to, to eat and drink, to limit yourself. If you are like me, you would feel ridiculous spending all that money on an AI and still going off resort. A beach/cliffs split is perfect!

Which AI?

I never felt ridiculous, I felt I got my money's worth and more. If I had to pay out of pocket for snorkeling, water skiing, the booze cruise, and food/drinks, it would've cost me ALOT more money had I not stayed at CSA. That even factors in our dinner at Ivans and visiting the bars on the beach. I'm not sure my wife and I could stay at a nice non-AI for a week and get all that I listed above for $2500 without serious skimping.

Not all AIs are the same and shouldn't all be lumped together to be judged.

Where I DO agree is that people who go AI should take some time to get out of the resort and visit the local establishments and people.
