Aruba, Jamaica, Oooo I Wanna Take Ya..... On A HONEYMOON!


When I say "honeymoon", what comes to mind? I'm gonna go out there on a limb and say a hot tropical beach. For most, but not all, that is the ideal getaway for a honeymoon! But the budget will determine where you go and what type of honeymoon you end up having.

Some will say that a cruise is the best route to take if you're seeking that tropical escape. But you need to ask yourself a few questions. Do you want to be in the middle of the ocean for the majority of your honeymoon? Do you want to be in close-quarters everywhere you go with a bunch of strangers and dare I say it - kids? What if you get sea-sick? Those are just a couple of things to think about when considering a cruise.

Now for what I deem is the best option for a honeymoon! An all-inclusive resort!!! There are a lot of tropical all-inclusive resorts. Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and much more. Like a cruise, an all-inclusive resort has all the food and drinks you can desire and all tips are included! I can't tell you how nice it is to eat at a restaurant and just leave without paying, or so it seems. Or when the bell boy takes your luggage to your room you don't have to tip him! There are many aspects of an all-inclusive resort that are better then a cruise. Your room will be much bigger! The resort itself is bigger, so you aren't running into people everywhere you go. And better yet....if you go to an adult-only resort you won't have to hear any kids yelling and crying! All-inclusive resorts also have numerous pools, not just 1 or 2. They have a variety of activities you can participate in throughout the entire day. They also offer other activities outside the resort; snorkeling, guided tours, hikes, zip-lining, and more. Most resorts are located on the beach so you get the best of both worlds; staying on stable land and frolicking about on the beach and in the ocean!

I know it's usually the guy that plans the honeymoon, but it wouldn't hurt to do your own research and give him suggestions! I did all the research for our honeymoon. I'll give you my HIGHLY recommended all-inclusive resort. Secrets Resorts & Spas. They have 6 resorts; 3 in Mexico and 3 in Jamaica. We went to Silversands Riviera Cancun. This place was off-the-hook!!! And I am sure that all their other resorts live up to the same expectations. We were a little nervous that their awesome pictures online wouldn't live be reality, but they exceeded it! It was the honeymoon dream come true! Silversands is only 10-15 minutes away from the airport, so that was a huge plus! Everyone there was so nice and helpful, ready to serve you at your beck & call. We also got a great deal! They had a promotion going called 1 2 Free. So every 3rd day we were there it was free, which brought the cost down by a lot! Here are some pictures of this amazing resort! Enjoy and seriously considering going there honeymoon or not!
Sorry the pictures are just the ones I took, I can't copy them from the website. Here is the website to look at their photos.
