Honeymoons

whitelightrider

Folks,

I am getting married in 2008 and am looking at honeymoons. Are there any good sites to visit that would include all inclusive honeymoons?
Can anyone recommend anywhere?

I've been looking at brochures for tropical holidays (not for a honeymoon, just a normal holiday) and a lot of the places are geared towards honeymooners.

Try these three:
http://www.tropicalplaces.ie/
http://www.classicresorts.ie/
http://www.twohigs.com/

Tropical Places have a huuuuuuge brochure, everything ranging from the Indian Ocean to Thailand, etc. to the US, Caribbean, South Africa, etc. Classic Resorts as well. Two Higs have a much smaller collection of places, but it's wherever you want to go really.

Tropical Places and Classic Resorts both have their 2007 brochures out this month, Two Higs are still waiting on theirs but you can just get an idea anyway from the 2006 brochure.

Best of luck

Oh and if you are looking at visiting the Maldives, I found this particular forum site to be very good for reviews:http://www.virtualtourist.com/

And also, www.tripadvisor.com.

Try
www.caribbeandeals.co.uk

I used them last year they are all inclusive and very very cheap compared to Irish sites. They fly from either London or Birmingham.
So you'll have to book your ryanair flights seperate to connect to them,
but believe me its well worth it.
Last year it cost the same price for two of us that Irish comapies were charging us each.

They specialise in Dominican Republic | Mexico | Jamaica | Barbados | Antigua |St Lucia | Cuba |Bahamas.

Try the Sandals resort, its heaven. 5*

The best place to book can be determined by where you want to travel to. I started off thinking of going to one of the Carribean Islands and we went to Trailfinders. We looked at all their brochers and then also looked at Mexico. I used expedia to find flights resorts etc that we thought were the best for us,(Vegas and Cancun mexico) once we were happy went back to trailfinders but unfortunitely they didn't use the resort we wanted so we looked at other agencies and got the best price with American Holidays.

Can be fairly stressful booking a honeymoon, research as much as you can once your happy try all the agencies to get want you want, you may have to comprimise somewhere try to keep any comprimise small its your honeymoon after all.

ohh and its hard to get flights for more than ten months ahead so you may not be able to get an accurate quote yet or book it.

I have a few ideas for a honeymoon but not sure if im going over the top with regards to cost. is €10,000 ok? I know its a personal choice but dont want to lose the run of myself!

tinkerbell

Aquitaine - if you are thinking of spending €10k, are you going for 3 weeks and to what country? You could easily spend that in the Seychelles.

I found booking direct with a UK company a lot cheaper than an Irish one. We have booked two weeks in the Dominican Republic with Firstchoice.co.uk but Virgin Holidays are meant to be very good too.

Also try Portland Holidays as they do some good deals. Most of them fly from Gatwick so flights with Ryanair are no problem.

Sun holidays would not interest us. I think they are a waste of time. We are looking at a tour of Canada - 16 days.

We're going to Iceland. I'm not into the sun at all (although I'll have to some day because it'd be a dream to go scuba diving in warm water!).

There's fantastic things to do there: Whale watching (humpbacks and blue whales mainly), Skidooing on a glacier. They also have lots of geysers and the aroura borealis are visible in the summer.

It costs a bomb though! Oh well, the holiday of a lifetime and all that!

We were looking at doing a 2-3 weeks split holiday i.e. visit both Dubai and Maldives/Seychelles/Mauritius....Got to thinking then...We will only do this kind of trip once so go all out...Said what the hell SSIA coming in...
Decided to head for 10 weeks and get in Singapore/Australia/New Zealand/Tahiti/LA/New York
11 weeks tomorrow flying out...:D Cant wait...Soooooo looking forward to it..Looking at iteniary for NZ now..More or less have Australia roughly decided..
Dont want to tie ourselves down too much but getting in Melbourne then flying to Cairns. Fly to Brisbane and then driving Brisbane - Sydney in about 2 1/2 weeks...Off to NZ start in Christchurch and do the south island...Go north and fly out of Auckland to Tahiti...
1 week of nothing but sun/sea/sand etc etc..Fly then to LA..Two nights there.Finally onto NYC. there for four nights and then home....
Will cost a nice bit but soooo worth it...:)

We went to Cuba and it was brilliant.
We did a week in Varadero which is a resort area with loads of hotels along the most gorgeous beaches. We then did a week in Havana and that was amazing. Go now before Fidel dies and it goes to hell.

Cheers folks. Got some fantastic ideas for places to visit. We've knocked Bora Bora on the head at this stage. Going to look at either Barbados, Bahamas or maybe Cancun.
