Caribbean Honeymoon

I've heard good things about the Sandals resorts for honeymoons - affordable, all-inclusive, and lots of different locations to choose from. You could consult with a travel agent who may have some really great affordable options too.

Another option could be taking a cruise. You can get a lot of bang for your buck with cruises! Most of them include all your food, drinks and entertainment on the ship (the only thing I've ever had to pay extra for was massages and a hair color correction service at the on-ship spa once when I had a very unfortunate hair color experience the day before boarding 🤣). Being on the ship is fun and relaxing, and there's gorgeous scenery. Then you dock and get off the ship at several different island locations.

Check out Excellence and Secrets resort chains! Personally, I’ve found Sandals to be overpriced unless you plan on doing a million motorized water sports on your trip. Excellence and Secrets give a lot more for your money in terms of other services included without having to upgrade to a really high tier room category for things like free room service.

Jamaica!!!

We're going to the Dominican Republic! We got engaged at Excellence Punta Cana in February 2023, and decided we want to go back there for the honeymoon in December 2024. The staff there is wonderful. The food is amazing. Drinks were perfect. The spa there is beautiful. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. You do get a complimentary service with your reservation. So there is no need to spend the extra money for add-ons if you don't want to! I do highly recommend the hot stone though! They have a great selection of daily activities. We had SO much fun with the ones we participated in. Honeymoon packages are also complimentary if you are staying for at least 6 nights! You just need to bring a copy of your marriage license and it needs to be within 90 days of the ceremony. We're looking forward to having that experience. The pricing is not bad at all and they regularly have sales. We have a Honeymoon suite booked this time, and I believe it's their most expensive suite (tied with the Imperial suite). The base cost of the room is a little under $8,000 for two weeks. Slightly more expensive because we went with the flexible/refundable option instead of paying upfront.
