Paros is ugly at first sight as it is a critical transport hub but get away from the port into Noussa and it is beautiful, not to mention the wonderful Faragas beach bar........ this is where you do nothing.

Sounds good and thanks for the info! I will make note of this! I will need to ask the wife if she is down to site see and walk around or be a beach / pool bum. I would like to mix it up as I can't sit still for too long.
When we went to St. Lucia, we went 4-wheelin for a day because we didn't want to drink all day and wanted to do something fun.

Another place that would be amazing is the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua on Maui. Both Ko'Olina and Kapalua are right by amazing golf courses. Just saying 
Jade Mountain resort in St. Lucia looks absolutely incredible but you said you went there before. |
Perfect! Will check these out! Tough part is having the resorts being adult only. Golf is at the top of my list!

Turks & Caicos is also great for the beach, not sure about golf.

Thank you! I have heard and seen a lot of great things about Turks & Caicos. Just want to be safe.

We did a 10 year anniversary trip ourselves, though we went to Italy for two weeks. It was fantastic. Though if you went there, I'd suggest maybe going a month or two before your anniversary just so you get the warm weather still.

Our one friend and her husband are avid Sandals members and they go twice a year to their resorts. (they dont have kids) and they loved Curacao and would go back. Not sure if I would do with them. Huge story. lol.

Good thinking. I have been thinking about that too! I know October might be tough, season temp wise, but we are looking when our daughter is in school so it would help my parents and my wife's parents watching our daughter. But I will make sure to keep the season / month in mind when booking.
The wife and I are open to other places. Hawaii sounds amazing but I don't think my wife could do a 12hr flight. I'm not even sure if I could. lol.
