Choosing a hotel can be difficult even during regular holidays; but when you're planning your honeymoon - quite possibly one of the most important events of your marriage - things can get trickier.
Even when choosing your hotel, you might find yourself in a dilemma as to what you should choose and where you should look, especially in a place like Jamaica, where you have no shortage of great options.
Booking Your Own Hotel vs. Choosing an All-Inclusive Resort
Booking your own hotel can be great if you want to plan everything out yourself. However, you'll find that there are a lot of factors to consider. When it comes down to planning your honeymoon, you'll soon see that the providers of all-inclusive hotel and resort deals will think of these and many other considerations before they even occur to you:
- Do you enjoy planning your own itinerary? And do you have enough time for it? Remember, you're already planning a wedding, can you really add more to your plate? Depending on your answers, choosing your own hotel can be a great idea, so long as you have the time and the excitement necessary to organize your schedule yourself and deal with any unexpected difficulties.
- Consider the cost. Choosing a Jamaica honeymoon resort along with an all-inclusive plan can often help you get the best discounts through a complete package that will have your favorite drinks, gourmet meals, tours, adventures, and amenities thrown in for a lump sum along with your accommodation. It's not only cheaper but also a lot less of a headache.
- For many newlywed parents, taking their kids along on the honeymoon is almost inconceivable. However, if you plan to bring them along, you do have to factor in that little detail. Consider how old they are, whether you have enough money to include them, whether you're willing to give up the option of booking an adult-only hotel, and whether the idea is even feasible in practical terms.
Special Amenities and Convenient Offers
When you opt for Jamaica, make sure you aim for luxury. A lot of high-end resorts have butlers and gourmet chefs, and some also offer special Caribbean adventures involving snorkeling, scuba diving, and various water sports. The idea is to choose a resort that has all that on-site, rather than having to travel long distances to get your favorite drinks or find a professional instructor for most watersports.
You'll also want to make sure that the hotel or resort you book can organize special impromptu events, such as a moonlit dinner on the beach complete with professional musicians, or a special boat ride that you can share as a special date with your significant other. Even just a simple surprise such as rose petals in the bathtub or an ornate cake delivered after dinner can make a huge difference. Freshwater pools, whirlpools, and waterslides might also be a great thing to have if you want a more thrilling experience that can sometimes become equally as romantic depending on your preferences.
Ultimately, a great Jamaica resort or hotel should have a breathtaking view and allow you to fully enjoy it with your partner. Their main focus should be on attention to detail, excellent organization, and all-in-one amenities and services that will enable you to take any annoying task or detail out of the equation and concentrate completely on enjoying this exciting and memorable time with the love of your life.
