All those places would be great honeymoon destination.

I been to Thailand and Bali. I love Thailand (beautiful beaches, awesome food, and friendly people) but don't really care for Bali (constantly harassed by people asking to be our taxi drivers or provide service, also we didn't like Baliness food). 

I have not been to Spain but always wanted to go because I heard the food and architures are amazing there

@ReyDar64: Food in Thailand is similar to Thai food in Los Angeles but better and cheaper.

As for resort, depend on how luxurious you want. The price can go from couple dollars to thousands per night.

For example, I stayed in one beach bungalow (could see the beach from my little hut because it's only 30 feet away) and it cost me $10/night (cheaper than getting a seafood feast). My friends went there for honeymoon but stay in a nice luxurious resort, they said it cost them around $300 per night

@ReyDar64: Sorry, I don't remember the name of the place or have pictures of the place (since it was very basic). I was backpacking through Thailand and didn't made reservation. Just showed up, asked for the rate and negotiated/book the room. The bungalows was on Koh Phangan (It's more of a backpacker island).

I've been to Bali once in late October, FI twice.  We loved it there so much that we're having our wedding there!  Been to Bangkok only for 3 days on a stopover/layover from Bali.  Both were really exotic and awesome to me.  Yes, you're going to run into hawkers, but they aren't as aggressive as I've seen elsewhere (like in Jamaica, for instance).  I would recommend NOT staying in the tourist area (Kuta--think college Spring Break!) and try to get off the beaten path.  It will be at the end of the dry season very beginning of rainny season.  We were in Bali for a week and it rained on us a couple of times, but luckily at night, or when we were in the pool!  It was heavy rain, but like a lot of tropical locations, it passes through pretty quickly.  You'll still be able to enjoy the sun and log in some beach time.

Can't speak for Croatia or Turkey, but I've heard they are beautiful as well.

I recently came back from Spain (been to Madrid, Barcelona, and around Andalucia).  If you're trying to go for a great trip before you have kids, I would recommend NOT doing Spain.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVED it there and would totally go back (loved the food there)!  But I think it's the most kid-friendly place of your chosen locations so you could totally do Spain/Europe after you have kids.  

@ReyDar64: I wish I did!  Unfortunately, FI's hard drive crashed while on our trip and he was unable to recover most of the photos I had downloaded and had already deleted off my camera. :(

What kinds of things would you want to do there?  And what kind of accommodations are you looking for?  

Kuta is "important" if you wanna do nightlife and shopping as it's really the main area.  We moved around for the week.  The road from Kuta blends into and becomes Legian, which then turns into Seminyak and then it turns into Canggu.  I doubt by now there is much separation between the villages.  The further north you go away from Kuta along that road, the quieter, more upscale it gets.  We stayed in Legian a night, but our stay in Seminyak was really nice.  We were also in Nusa Dua/Benoa but I wouldn't go back because it's just not my thing--a lot of high-end resorts lined up right next to each other, not much to do/see outside of the hotels.  Can't really walk around.  But, the bay down there is popular for water and jet skis. 

We also traveled down to Uluwatu temple on the west side of the Bukit peninsula which was really nice, but also full of beautifully landscaped beach front huge hotels which outside of, there's not much else to do (except hang out on the beach I guess).  

Ubud is the cultural center of the island.  Lots of arts and crafts there, dance performances, jungle, etc.  I believe it's where Eat, Pray, Love was filmed.  Different atmosphere than along the coast.  We only drove through there, but it seemed nice.

Haven't been on the north side of the lsland yet. More inland you could go hiking, visit the volcano, white water rafting. You could also take a ferry to one of the smaller islands.  FI went to Nusa Lebongan to surf once and said it was super quiet and really peaceful.  A friend took a boat ride to snorkel and dive somewhere. Lombok is also pretty quiet, too and I heard relatively untouched compared to Bali (probaby what Bali was 10 years ago), but I haven't been there yet.

One thing to note is that there is a lot of Indonesian food served there.  I guess they just assume people would prefer it.  I'm not a big fan of Indonesian food to be honest (Nasi Goreng or Mie Goreng), but Balinesian food is different--a little more South East Asian/Indian influence with lots of different spices.  So I recommend to look out for that.  

What really got me was the exoticness of the Hindu society.  There are offerings everywhere!  Flower petals scattered along the roads, the burning smell of incense everywhere, temple tops peaking above everyone's fences.  Oh, and there are spas everywhere.  An hour long massage in your room for about $12.00.  You should do that in Thailand, too (although, if you've never had a Thai massage, you should be prepared for a workout!). 

Hope I'm not hyping it up too much. :)
