It depends on what your interests are really ?

But, i'd give havelock 2 thumbs up for relaxation. We stayed there for 3 weeks over the christmas, new year. We stayed at the http://www.wildorchidandaman.com

Personally I thought SilverSand sticks out a bit like a sore thumb, but they have a really good restaurant there thats worth a visit.

Thumbs up

My vote is for Nainital- Kousani-Almora. These are nice place for honey moon.

Which you like most? Mountain or sea? For the previous one any place in Himalaya will be right one.
Heard a lot about Lakhwa Dwip but never been there. This is also a good option I think.

Yes, you must first say exactly what you like, and what your style is. If you are a Coney Island type of person, you might like Nainital, but otherwise forget it - it is just too crowded these days. Darjeeling is pretty crowded too. Maybe you don't want isolation and peace, though?

And what time of year are you coming? In the summer it gets so hot and sticky that the last thing you'll want is to touch someone! And what's your budget - a hut on a beach, or a suite in a converted palace-hotel? You see, there are a lot of variables...

Any place on the earth is perfect for Honey Mooners. Choice is yours . Do the the place really matters to a honeymooning couple?

Of course it does ! It has to be secluded and away from prying eyes.

Right shimla , and that is why in the weding season some particular places (Nainital , Puri , Goa , Darz , Kashmir) are full /over crouded with honeymooners only. So that nobody can see to each other. Everyone is busy with themselve only.

Depend on the time of year you are..
summers - up north, shimla/kufri/kasauni/almora/nainital
winters - karwar/andaman-nicobar/or any other secluded beach you can get into.
