Honeymoons: Get Me to the Beach on Time!
by Vallarta Online Staff | published: 6/27/2003
The date has been set and everything has been planned to perfection for the most important day of your life, your Wedding Day. In the midst of the chaos of decision making, be sure you take the time to thoughtfully plan out the next biggest event of your life, Your Honeymoon. Dare to Dream Many couples become “decisioned out” and find themselves taking the first tempting honeymoon package they come across. Instead, take a "time out" together. Relax and discuss your dream destination. Make a list of where you would like to go, what you’d like to do on your honeymoon, and how long you'll be able to get away. Your next step is to set a budget, but don't forget; this is your honeymoon after all. While it shouldn’t break the bank, it should be everything you dreamed of. A Bounty of Beauty Time and time again, travel agents and wedding planners have voted Puerto Vallarta as one of THE top honeymoon destinations, and for good reason; the Bay screams romance. Warm tropical breezes, beautiful beaches, flourishing jungles, lush mountains, and spectacular sunsets all make Vallarta an idyllic setting for love. Add Some Spice Not every destination is known for its culinary delights. Let’s face it; we have to eat, so why not pick a place that has world renowned restaurants? Vallarta serves just about every imaginable cuisine on earth, not just salsa and refried beans. You can dine at a five star restaurant with your toes in the sand and the waves lapping on the shore, or sit on a rooftop restaurant high above the city as the sun sets. Where to StayNow it’s decision time. Go back to your list of things you want to do on your honeymoon. If the criteria includes unlimited drinks, food, plenty of pool time, and no decisions to make for the day, an All Inclusive resort in Nuevo Vallarta would be the perfect place. Recommended for a restful honeymoon is the Palace Resorts with just about every amenity right onsite and a variety of bars, restaurants, and activities. The Grand & Club Marival is another wonderful choice with a plethora of activities for fun in the sun and nightly theme parties to keep you awake. A little further up the north coast in a secluded setting with long stretches of white sand beaches and immaculate grounds; the Palladium Vallarta has it all, including an adults-only pool area, and a romantic terrace for sunset views.  If exploration is one your list, a resort centrally located is an option that gives you infinite choices. Staying closer to the action won’t break the bank on transportation costs and leaves you more money for champagne and strawberries. The Grand Tourism rated Villa Premiere Hotel and Spa is walking distance from the Malecon and downtown Vallarta. Every well appointed room has a Jacuzzi either in-suite or on the private balcony, making this hotel a favorite among honeymooners. This is your honeymoon after all. It should be everything you've ever dreamed of. One of the most popular hotels among honeymooners is the Dreams Resort on the south coast. Impeccable service, tranquil soft sand beaches and fabulous dining brings people back year after year to rekindle the flame. If you are looking for something delightfully different, Playa Fiesta in Conchas Chinas is fabulous for honeymooners. Hammocks on balconies, a hanging bed over looking the beach and three private ocean-side Jacuzzi cabanas are sure to please. What to Do Love is always in the air in Vallarta, but it’s also on water as well. No honeymoon is complete until you experience a sunset sail or the Rhythms of the Night tour. Relive your wedding night dancing under the stars as you sail across the bay. During the day, get in touch with nature and take a romantic Tropical Forest Ride or play Tarzan and Jane on the Canopy Tour. If you want to get down and dirty, snuggle up with your spouse on an ATV or Pathfinder. Get Hitched Here You can always do both. If you want to combine the big day and the honeymoon. Special packages are available at the Palladium Vallarta resort. The wedding package includes everything you need to wed in style, and for as little as $450 you can be wed in paradise. Whatever you choose, hire a professional wedding photogropher to capture your special day on film. Other honeymoon and wedding packages are available, with far too many options to list on one page.
