I think it depends on the destination. For instance, Jamaica or D.R.?
I'd only go AI, primarily, because I don't consider those to be
especially safe places for tourists to wander . But, I can't think of
anywhere else where I'd choose that as an option.

It's also about what you're looking for out of your vacation. It isn't
always about seeing, doing touching, experiencing the local flavors.
Sometimes, it's only about relaxing and doing nothing, if that's what
you choose.

AIs are good, if what you're looking for is nothing but rest and
relaxation, which is what it sounds like the OP is hoping for.
Especially after something as stressful (albeit joyous) as a wedding,
a week at an AI, not having to open a wallet, or think about what
something costs, or having to find a cab to get to a restaurant...it's
not a bad option. I've never heard great reports on AI food, but the
concept is ideal for vacationers looking to veg vs. vacationers
looking to get a taste and feel of the island they're visiting. It
doesn't really matter on what island an AI vacationer is, because the
vacation is not about the island per se. It's about having no plans,
no worries for a week - and in the OP's case, it's about having some
quality time with his/her new spouse.

I'd consider Aruba as a honeymoon option for the OP, but, alas, no
mountains to speak of - but almost guaranteed good weather. The Virgin
Islands would also be something to consider - U.S. or British. We'll
be checking out Barbados in a few months - I expect it'll be great,
but no first-hand knowledge yet.

EastWinds in St Lucia would meet your criteria (dont know about price tho) -
see Tripadvisor.
Also Anse Chastenet St Lucia (more expensive than EastWinds) and there's
another expensive one in the south of the island whose name escapes me.
La source in Grenada might be another possibility - if its re-opened after
the hurricane damage.
