Tips For Planning Your Honeymoon
The Perfect Honeymoon Does Exist
Your love and big day are inspirational and we love to help couples just like you celebrate! One of the best ways to do that is by planning a destination honeymoon that reflects your passion and vibe AND gives both of you some fun things to do. Not to mention all-inclusive options with amazing cuisine, engaging entertainment, and plenty of relaxing activities like spas and golf. Before you jump into planning it yourself, get familiar with these tips…
Book Early
The ideal time to book your honeymoon is between 6-8 months prior to your travel dates; however, many popular resorts and room categories can sell out up to a year or more in advance. Rest assured –the sooner you book, the more options you’ll have and the more time you’ll have to choose exactly what you both want for your dream honeymoon.
Below we have some more tips to create a romantic and unforgettable trip to sunny beaches, all-inclusive resorts, and tips to get ahead of the planning curve!
Customize Your Romantic Escape
So one of the biggest tips we have for your honeymoon is to ensure that it matches up with what you and your special someone enjoy doing. If you are more active, for example, it might be a better call to consider somewhere like Europe over an all-inclusive resort–and vice versa! The point is, that you’ll need an expert to guide you to the right choices and destinations, and that’s where our team comes in!
We’re happy to listen to your preferences, craft itineraries and quotes, and match you with the perfect honeymoon. If you’re celebrating your love, it’s better to love where you land!
Identify Some Backup Dates
Most couples have an ideal honeymoon date, we get that, but it is always a great idea to establish multiple time frames you would be ok with for your honeymoon. This gives you more choices and options should room availability become a barrier. Say you really want to stay at AVA Cancun, but your dates have no availability. Well, there very well could be availability for the suite you desire on your alternate dates.
It is totally worth being flexible as this can open up a LOT more choices for your honeymoon!
Airfare Can Wait
Our best advice is to lock in your accommodations as early as you can first. This will ensure you at least have the location and honeymoon package of your choice…airfare can always be added later on.
Don’t fall into the trap of special deal days or ticket sellouts either. This is simply a myth and these special deals aren’t really a thing. However, ticket prices do fluctuate–our team will guide you on the appropriate time to book your flights and ensure you get the most value for your budget.
Put Down a Small Deposit
Most resorts only require a deposit of about $300-400 to hold a room –so there’s no large financial commitment upfront. After all, what’s a few hundred dollars down in the grand scheme of things? It’ll be worth it to reserve your top-choice property and room category.
This is the best way to make sure you have your spot in line. All-inclusive resorts can be especially quick to fill up their dates, but with our special access, we can connect you with any possible options should you not be able to make a deposit immediately. The earlier you book, the more options you have–as we said before!
