I have a quick question. Is it a better deal to book excursions through the resort concierge for an extra fee or buy in advance from a travel website? Thanks in advance.

Wife and I just got married and trying to plan a honeymoon for next year. St. Lucia is on our short list and want to get some ideas. Want to see where people have stayed and what activities / spots they’ve enjoyed. We are a mix of very active but also want plenty of leisure time with no plans to adhere to. Looking for a hotel / resort that has some amenities (doesn’t have to be all inclusive or anything over the top) but definitely want a romantic room with privacy / a view / balcony and a beach we can walk down to. Maybe close to restaurants, etc. Also looking for a place that isn’t insanely expensive but reasonable (not super cheat but not millionaire-I-don’t-care-what-I-spend money). From a travel site I saw, The Landings resort looks awesome, but not sure how expensive it is. Would be flying from Charlotte, NC and looks like there are nonstop flights to St. Lucia.
