HONEYMOONS
With the
myriad of decisions to be made in the process of planning a wedding, it’s easy
for honeymoon plans to take a backseat. But why take a chance with memories
you’ll keep the rest of your lives?
To make your honeymoon simply unforgettable, sit down together and talk about
the level of luxury and privacy you want, what’s appealing during the day, and
the nightlife you desire. Below are several profiles, from the Pacific to the
Poconos, to help you find the perfect escape to fit your personalities!
If you're
looking for a tropical getaway, Cancun is a great choice. Dazzling white
beaches, spectacular waterfalls, and exotic flora make Cancun the perfect spot
for couples who want to relax in luxury. Famous for its fine dining, shopping,
fabled night life, as well as its spectacular coral reefs and lagoons, Cancun
is perfect for the couple that yearns for relaxation with optional excitement.
Mexico is not just sun-soaked beaches, frothy margaritas, and plump
pinatas. From ancient Aztec, Maya, and Indian ruins to today's twinkling
cliffside discos, Mexico offers a rich cultural heritage and modern mix of
indulgences.
Other
sites in Mexico provide terrific honeymoon bargains. The allure of Acapulco,
with its travel-poster scenery and diverse attractions, makes it an
intoxicating haven for honeymooners. Similarly, Puerto Vallarta has been
captivating tourists for centuries with its Old World charm, unique shopping,
and illustrious waterfalls.
Crystal blue waters lapping gently on powdery sand… if that's your honeymoon
fantasy, you won't find bluer waters or sand more powdery than the beaches of Tahiti.
You have your choice of lagoons edged with sugar-white sand, or crashing surf
that draws surfers from all around the world. Spas, suites, tennis courts,
pools, and tropical gardens await, as well as fabulous restaurants and
first-class accommodations. You can even get all-inclusive deals that include
sightseeing tours and meals.
Cruises to such places as the Caribbean and Bahamas offer the perfect
getaways at a great value. All meals
&
entertainment are included in the price as well as the opportunity to
visit numerous Port of Calls during your trip.
Other
great values can be found at the all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica, Puerto
Rico, Dominican Republic and Aruba. These islands offer package deals that
make luxury travel affordable. Although definitions vary, a true all-inclusive
rate is just that: one flat fee covers your room plus all meals, unlimited drinks,
entertainment, tips, taxes, airport transfers, and a list of activities (most
with instruction and equipment). What's not included: airfare, gift shop
goodies, departure taxes, and phone calls.
European vacations are gaining popularity as some honeymooners find it
relaxing to stay in one foreign city for a week. This allows them to really explore the unique sights, sounds, and
tastes of the city. Some of the most
popular European destinations include Provence, France the Greek Isles the
English countryside and, of course, Rome and Paris.
If you're looking for a more domestic vacation, Walt Disney World and
Disneyland offer honeymoon packages for every taste and budget. You can
even split your honeymoon between the park and a high seas cruise on Disney
Cruise Line, which offers stops in the Bahamas and Castaway Bay, Disney's
private island.
Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains are often considered " The Honeymoon
Capital of the World" , offering numerous resorts as well as many outdoor
and indoor activities to choose from, including a booming night life. If
extreme pampering is what you need, try the private saunas, sunken whirlpools,
champagne breakfasts in bed, and heart-shape pools at the Poconos.
Always popular with newlyweds, the Hawaiian Islands feel like a world
away, combining dramatic feats of nature -- volcanoes, canyons, and waterfalls
-- with centuries-old island traditions, yet you won't need a passport to visit
this paradise. Many couples love the tranquility of Kauai, with its rolling
hills, lush gardens, and cascading waterfalls. Others prefer the teeming
metropolis of Honolulu, one of the world's greatest tourist meccas or plan an
island-hopping honeymoon to satisfy both your needs.
