Your honeymoon is the one vacation you’ll take that is like none other as it is the start of a new life with someone you love, and is at the same time a great reason to visit one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. Whether you leave straight from your reception or wait a while until the excitement dies down, your honeymoon is a vacation that you will remember for the rest of your life and it’s no wonder that one of the most popular places to that honeymoon is the Caribbean.
What are the reasons for the Caribbean to be such a perfect honey spot? First, most people don’t experience life as they imagine living in a magical tropical paradise is and which is found on most of the Caribbean islands. Just the idea to experience the fabulous weather you experience in the Caribbean, is like an escape from reality. Then there is the fact that the Caribbean is very popular, as the islands do such a good job catering to couples in love; you may also find a variety of special activities being put on just for newlyweds.
Planning a honeymoon in the Caribbean should start long before you even finish planning your wedding. The first important point to consider is how much your honeymoon will cost, as you want to avoid spending too much. Nobody wants to arrive home and start a new life filled with debt; in fact, it’s the last thing anybody needs starting a new life. Remember, start with your budget in mind and find a Caribbean island that meets that need.
The second thing to consider in your planning a hot Caribbean honeymoon is the practicality of how to transition from the wedding to the honeymoon. The traditional way is to start the honeymoon on your wedding night, but most couples have a wedding reception after the wedding and there’s a good chance the reception will last well into the night making leaving for a trip to a Caribbean island not the best idea out. Instead, rather spend the night after the wedding and reception at a local hotel and leave for your Caribbean honeymoon in the morning. There is even the question as to whether it might not be a good idea to sort out moving into your new home and leave on the honeymoon after that, like say doing the moving in during the first week and the honeymoon the second week – that is unless you’ve already lived together for some time by the time you get married. Some couples even wait an entire year and plan their honeymoon at the same time as celebrating their first anniversary, giving them time to save up. The key is to do what is right for you.
Whenever you finally enjoy your Caribbean honeymoon trip, do mention it where you’re going and you’d be surprised about the special treatment you may enjoy, like your ticket bumped to first class or a nicer hotel room at the same price -especially here in the Caribbean, we make it our business to help you to celebrate… champagne and other free drinks, special prices at restaurants and hotel gifts are some of the great honeymoon specials you might receive if we knew that you’re celebrating your honeymoon in the Caribbean. This is a great way to start your new life and even if small things go wrong, simply focus on enjoying your time together.
