After the long period of planning and anticipation that comes with getting married, the honeymoon - a trip taken by just the newlyweds - is usually a welcome relief. The honeymoon provides a chance to finally be alone together and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Planning and booking a honeymoon takes special considerations. Consider the following:
* There are many resort destinations that cater to honeymooners. Whether they are adults only or even couples only, you will find the atmosphere at such resorts very romantic. Such places put in extra effort to ensure couples feel happy, enjoy lots of privacy, and feel they are getting away from the world. Restaurants and rooms will be more private and romantic. Little touches such as hammocks and niches for two on the grounds, are the type of differences you can expect to experience at an adults- or couples-only resort.
* Do your homework. Two important reasons for this tip is that a) many places and companies offer 'honeymoon packages' and you can get great prices as well as free upgrades and extras by searching for the best offer. Also, b) prices will vary depending on where you look, for example travel agency, online, or dealing with the resort directly. By doing your research, not only can you save money, you will also enjoy the best number and quality of value-added upgrades and extras for your honeymoon.
* If you have a destination in mind, make sure it is one you both agree upon. If you have never traveled together before, you do not want to be surprised to find you have different tastes or want to partake in completely different activities. What if you are fulfilling your dream of backpacking through Europe, and your new spouse lets on that all he or she really wanted was a beach resort to chill out at? Talk about it beforehand, exploring questions such as what type of landscape appeals to both of you - beach? Mountains? City? What types of activities do you wish to enjoy - beach volleyball? Tennis? Lounging around a pool? This important discussion will help you agree on a mutually satisfying solution.
Of course, no matter what amenities a resort or hotel has, you may not see much of it because many honeymooners spend lots of time in their rooms...so be sure and check into the caliber and availability of room service before you book!
