Honeymoon Ideas
« on: February 09, 2010, 12:10:44 PM »
Getting married in June, and trying to figure out where to go for a honeymoon afterwards.  We were thinking Paradisus in the Dominican Republic.  We were at the Paradisus in Cancun and really liked it.

We have thrown around some other ideas (Chateau Lake Luise, Napa Valley, and such).  We are trying to keep it under $5k.

Any suggestions? 

TIA

been to lake louise a ton of times.  if you like to do a lot of day hikes it's a great base of operations.  but stay in the campground across the bow river if you want to save a ton of cash.  you can drive to a a lot places from there.

be prepared to fight thru a crap ton of jap tourists at certain parts of the day around the chateau

p.s. a friend of mine honeymooned there in January for skiing and they bumped them up to the honeymoon suite for no charge for a night or two.

Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta.

It's an adults only, boutique resort.   Very nice....has it's own little beach club where you can relax without being hounded by the masses.

We've been to Playa Del Carmen and while we loved it, we would chose to go back to Puerto Vallarta in the future.

i'm only 14 but the thought of getting married makes me want to puke.   buddy of mine at K-State told me that only losers get married because they don't think they can score fresh puddin' anymore which I believe is true because he scores sorirety girls every week at parties.

Does the all inclusive include drinks?  Or do you have to pay for those separate? (I've seen it both ways with the "all inclusive" label)

don't worry, you won't need any drinks, you'll be drunk in love.  LMFAO, who are you, Romance Randy or something??

Make sure she puts your balls in a clear jar so you can sit them on your desk and look at them and stuff, bro.

Done Hawaii, Cancun, Cozumel, and Puerto Rico.  Thinking maybe of taking a cooler path so we can do some hiking and white water rafting.

Hows Jackson Hole?

Found a really nice place in Yosimite.  Already booked though.  :curse:

You do know that the DR shares an island with Haiti, right? Not gonna tell you what to do, but I would probably incorporate that into my plans.

Yea I know.  Thought about that and I know the fiance would be all over helping out (huge heart type of gal).  Read some reviews that the Paradisus in DR is huge, and the Royal Service is almost $900 a night.  They also have a casino and golf course (big wins in my book).  That is out of our budget at the moment though.  Looking to stay somwhere for 5 nights.

DR reps and travel agents will tell you it's a non-factor. They will be lying. DR is currently the main hub for all international aid to Haiti, and is rapidly becoming the new frontline in the US-Venezuela/ALBA rivalry. Plenty of other nice Caribbean places to go.
