Tips For Booking Your Honeymoon Package

Getting Married? Congratulations!


Part of the wedding planning process for many happy couples is to plan a honeymoon, which is a trip taken after the wedding. A honeymoon is usually just for the newly married couple, and allows for a romantic break after the hectic pre-wedding and wedding period.


Many resorts and vacation destinations offer special packages for honeymooners. These special offers can range from price incentives, to room upgrades to romantic little 'extras'. Such extras can include:


* A welcome gift in your room upon arrival. Possibly including champagne, fresh fruit, chocolates and/or flowers. Some hotels even offer these every day as part of their honeymoon packages.


* Complimentary daytrips such as excursions into a local town for shopping, a romantic boat ride or helicopter ride.


* Sports extras such as parasailing lessons, scuba lessons for two or horseback riding on the beach.


* Spa treatments for two, such as a couples massage or other body treatments, sometimes available in the privacy of your own room.


* Private meals served on your balcony or elsewhere within the resort complex. Some resorts will set up a romantic setting just for two of you right on the beach so you can revel in sunset dinner complete with champagne, flowers and butler service.


* Complimentary breakfast brought to your room each day or on your first morning.


When planning your honeymoon, be sure to mention the occasion so the travel agent booking your trip will secure any special offers available only to honeymooners at the destination of your choice. If you are calling and making reservations yourself, be sure and mention your newly-married status to the reservation agent. You may also find that there are deals on plane and hotel tickets combined for honeymooners - ask your travel agent .


Note that some hotels require proof of your recent marriage in order to honor their honeymoon incentives or gift offers.


Have a great time on your honeymoon!
