Romantic Honeymoon Ideas
Choosing and planning your honeymoon should be the fun part of your wedding planning process. A honeymoon is like any other vacation, except on this one you really don't want anything to go wrong. As long as you keep a few simple things in mind your honeymoon should be a wonderful romantic experience.
The most important things to consider when choosing your honeymoon are:
1. The Time of Year
Like with any other vacation, you need to consider the time of year when choosing a honeymoon destination. You should be aware of the weather, crowds, and the cost associated with your destination choices at the time of your honeymoon and narrow your choices accordingly.2. Your Destination and How You Will Get There
It is very easy to get hooked on a particular destination but keep in mind the type of traveling involved in getting there. If you are the type of person that would prefer three to six hours in a limousine or a single airplane flight than don't book a honeymoon that will require you to fly on three planes and two boats just to get there.3. What Your Honeymoon Destination has to Offer
Imagine arriving at your honeymoon resort only to discover that your dream of eating breakfast in bed ever day will not happen because the hotel does not offer much in the way of room service. Even if you plan to do nothing but sit on a beach for a week make sure that you know what your hotel has to offer. Another idea is to choose a resort that has activities that you and your spouse like or can learn together. Scuba diving certification is very popular with newlyweds.4. Your Room
Since you will probably be spending more than half of your honeymoon in it, your room should be exactly what you want. Almost all hotels and resorts now offer honeymoon suites, and some resorts have honeymoon bungalows or cabins that are even more private. It is also a good idea to try to get as much information as possible about the location of your room. For example, make sure that your room is not directly over an open air band that plays until 3 am each night. (You would be surprised how often this happens.)5. Honeymoon Packages and Upgrades
Be sure to look into any honeymoon packages available at your resort or hotel. Honeymoon packages can include free champagne, massage, flowers, extra nights free, and a free upgrade to a suite. Free upgrades will be readily available if you decide to travel to a destination during its low season.6. Call the Resort to Confirm Everything
Make sure that you call someone who is actually at the resort to confirm all the details of your trip. That way, if something is not right once you arrive at the resort, you can talk directly to someone you have already spoken with. If something does go wrong at your hotel, contact the manager and calmly present your problem and ask for it to be fixed. More often than not the hotel will do their best to make you happy. At any good resort, the phrase "we are on our honeymoon" can often move mountains.Romantic Getaways
