Mistakes to Avoid When Booking Your Honeymoon Hotel
Selecting accommodations for your honeymoon is a the BEST PART of planning your trip as newlyweds. Looking through photos, picturing yourself in wedded bliss, getting the VIP treatment you deserve… Whether you opt for indulging in a luxurious, all-inclusive resort or prefer the charm of boutique hotels, your choices matter not only in terms of the hotels themselves but also in how you go about booking them.
Do Stay Open Minded & Flexible
Another instance, during peak seasons, popular destinations like the Amalfi Coast may strain your budget, prompting consideration of alternatives such as Puglia
Maintaining flexibility regarding your destination is key. Couples should think about what their budget is and then pick a destination where they can maximize it and get the best value. While you may have a dream location in mind, like an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, considering different destinations within your budget can lead to surprising discoveries like overwater bungalows in Mexico or Aruba [cheaper & shorter flight for example maximizing your budget and time]. Another instance, during peak seasons, popular destinations like the Amalfi Coast may strain your budget, prompting consideration of alternatives such as Puglia or off the beaten path like the Dalmatian coast.
Don’t Assume You Will Get the Honeymoon Upgrade
It's REALLY unwise to presume automatic upgrades simply because it's your honeymoon. Hotels may not always accommodate such requests, particularly during busy seasons. Therefore, focus on booking the room that suits your needs rather than expecting an upgrade. Sometimes resorts will also be completely booked and won’t even have the upgrade… Book the room that is right for you, not a placeholder.
Book an appointment with a travel specialist like Escape Key Travel Co. that provides you personalized attention and knows what they are doing. They should be experienced in Romance Travel and the destinations you prefer.
Do Hire That Romance Travel Specialist
Engaging a travel advisor or agent can offer significant advantages. ::Waves:: “Hi, It’s me…” We can advocate on your behalf, ensuring the hotel understands the importance of your stay and sparing you the stress of managing reservations. We can also make the best recommendation for a resort that matches your personal preferences but will also give you the VIP experience you deserve while managing your budget. DON’T FORGET: You’re planning an entire wedding. Delegating honeymoon help will be worth your time!
Don’t Take a Chance With a New Vibe
Understanding the atmosphere you desire is crucial. Whether you prefer the intimacy of boutique hotels or the grandeur of large luxury resorts, sticking to what you know ensures a restful and enjoyable honeymoon experience. This special trip as newlyweds isn't the time to experiment with a vibe you're not 100 percent sure about; sticking to what you know (in terms of the type of hotel) will ensure that you're well-rested for the duration of your trip.

Do Adults Only, Please
All Inclusive Resorts are excellent options that provide adult only sections, or can be exclusively for adults. No kids allowed! & budget friendly too!
For those seeking a secluded retreat, inquiring about adult-only sections within all-inclusive resorts can enhance intimacy and relaxation. That’s why working with a travel specialist is such a smart decision; they’ll be able to lead you to the best resorts for honeymooners. Not only do I know the resorts with adults-only sections but I know the best resorts that are completely adults-only and then the best adults only resorts for coffee lovers, foodie lovers, beach lovers, golf lovers, etc.
Don’t Expect Early Check Ins
Do you know when you book a red eye and arrive at your destination super early in the morning? (This is often the case with east coast to Europe routes). Well, don't assume that your hotel is going to let you check in early just because you're exhausted. Booking an extra night allows for immediate check-in upon arrival, ensuring a smoother transition. If that’s not within the budget, as a travel specialist, I would call the hotel to help you store your bags, I often provide my honeymooners the best local coffee shop and a fun walking tour to keep you up to combat the jet lag.
Do Book Your Honeymoon Far Enough in Advance
Book your honeymoon as soon as possible especially if it’s a bucket list experience like an African safari. A year in advance or more is necessary!
When should you book your honeymoon? AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Booking accommodations well in advance is advisable, particularly for popular destinations or bucket-list experiences like safaris in Africa or trips to remote destinations like the Galapagos. Try a year in advance! Want an overwater bungalow? Try 16 months in advance! This not only secures your preferred accommodations but also gives you something exciting to anticipate. Even with All Inclusives, you’ll find better prices and more room options if you book further in advance.
