All Inclusive Honeymoon Vacation

From LoveToKnow Weddings

For many newlyweds, an all inclusive honeymoon vacation is the perfect way to plan their romantic vacation. It offers an easy avenue for the getaway they've always dreamed of. Many of the most popular honeymoon locations such as Florida, Aruba, and Italy offer all inclusive or combination packages allowing you to plan your honeymoon with ease.

The following goods and services are often included in an all inclusive package:

  • Hotel or Villa accommodations
  • Airfare
  • Airport transfers
  • Activities
  • Food or meals
  • Beverages

Careful Planning and Asking Questions

It is imperative to ask questions and clarify exactly what is included in your all inclusive honeymoon vacation. Some packages may only include one or two meals, or there may be restrictions on activities, such as choosing certain tours or activities at specified times. Drinks, particularly those containing alcohol, are not always included as part of the package. Always ask questions so you are clear of what's included before you arrive.

Discounted Rates

One of the biggest advantages of securing an all inclusive honeymoon vacation may be the savings you garner from booking the various aspects of your honeymoon together rather than separately. Travel agents can be an invaluable source for many couples and can often obtain excellent rates and the dates you want for your trip. Many companies also offer easy navigation and great rates via their websites. Orbitz and Expedia are two of the largest travel sites offering all inclusive packages, but there are many other reputable travel sites as well. If you are flexible with the dates you can travel for your honeymoon, you can get reduced rates by traveling with auction travel sites like Priceline for beautiful all inclusive vacations to places like Barbados, Jamaica, and Cancun.

The Cruise Connection

Another type of all inclusive honeymoon vacation many couples opt for is a cruise. Complete with food, drink, dancing, cabin accommodations, and often dozens of onboard activities to choose, from yoga classes to Las Vegas style shows to pools and waterslides, cruises are some of the most popular options for newlyweds. Whether you choose a smaller yacht-type cruise or one of the larger, activity packed cruise packages, a honeymoon cruise certainly spells romance. While cruise packages generally include many of the onboard activities, again check carefully to see exactly what is and is not included -- fro instance, many do not include offshore excursions. Popular honeymoon destinations include:

  • The Caribbean
  • Mexico
  • Europe
  • Mediterranean
  • the Greek Isles
  • Tahiti

Deciding the Best Honeymoon Vacation for You

While deciding on an all inclusive honeymoon vacation might not be difficult, deciding where certainly takes some decision making. From Hawaiian whale watching and helicopter tours to a romantic European cruise, options abound. When deciding the best honeymoon destination, taking one another's interests into account is important. Another important factor is to decide just how much time you want to actually spend pursuing activities and how much time you just want to spend relaxing.

Getting the Scoop on Your Honeymoon Destination

Asking friends, family members, and colleagues where they spent their honeymoons may bring some wonderful destinations to minds and give you specific things to consider. Bridal magazines, websites, and talking to travel agents can give further inspiration. Another option is to read reviews of all inclusive resorts and vacation destinations to get real, relevant information about what to expect regarding the accommodations, service, and vacation itself.

Enjoying Your Honeymoon Vacation

Planning an all inclusive honeymoon may also mean less stress when it comes to your time together as well as the pre-trip planning. Since you'll know what services are already paid for, you can focus less on making sure you have enough in your wallet and more on making wonderful memories with your sweetheart.

Camilla - Very true. Many hotels offer packages for couples planning their weddings on-site, and they may include private dinners, massages, and other special treats that can be great for the honeymoon.

Another good tip I've heard that isn't mentioned in the article: if you have your wedding at a hotel, not only do they often give you a free night's stay, they may also be able to offer you a good deal on a honeymoon travel package--I know the Marriot hotel in my area does this.

A cruise is a nice option for a honeymoon and you don't have to worry about as many details. There are also many destination resorts that are all-inclusive and you can check them out as well. Be sure you understand your budget properly, and don't be afraid to ask for specific details about what is and isn't included in different packages. The key is to visit somewhere where you can just enjoy one another and spend a relaxing getaway together, whether it is in a faraway destination or just a few miles from home.
