5 Honeymoon Tips from ERV:

1. Don't Cheap Out - you're going to have plenty of other opportunities to impress your new spouse with your money-saving skills while travelling. Your honeymoon is about the 2 of you. Don't wreck it with penny pinching.

2. Keep Planning In its Place - talk about what you want to do before hand, then go on holidays and relax. Don't suffocate your once in a lifetime voyage together with all sorts of micro-managing and itinerary fine tuning. Allowing for some spontaneity will make it all the more memorable.

3. Avoid Getting Hung Up on Review Websites & Social Media Posts - hotel and resort reviews are very useful, but use them right. Ignore the ultra good & extremely bad comments on the edge, and just go with the opinion of the majority. And once you find the right accommodation, book it and forget it!

4. Consider a Few Days Rest After the Wedding Before Starting your Honeymoon - especially if your wedding is going to be a big affair with lots of guests, try not to schedule so that you're leaving on your honeymoon exhausted. Just a few days break between cutting the cake and boarding a flight can make your time away much better and add value to your vacation.

5. Consider Upgrading Yourself - unfortunately, simply being on a honeymoon is no guarantee of special treatment anymore from airlines or hotels. So, rather than bank on the very slim chance for an upgrade of any sort, why not spend a little bit more and do it yourselves. Business class on a flight can be very expensive (unless you have enough frequent flier points), but Premium Economy can be affordable and adds that special little bit of status to an otherwise routine flight. And for your hotel or resort, consider booking something a bit special like a room with your own private plunge pool, or a Jetted Tub Suite.

Editorial Policy: Excellent Romantic Vacations maintains complete editorial independence. We personally visit and review many hotels independently, at our own expense, to ensure that our feature recommendations reflect genuine travel experiences and honest opinions. When a property has not yet been visited by us, all details are carefully verified using official hotel websites and trusted traveler reviews from sources such as TripAdvisor and Google. Disclaimer: We do our best to keep hotel and suite information accurate, with details verified by ERV using official hotel websites and supported by sources like TripAdvisor and Google user reviews. Each listing shows the date we last confirmed amenities, but hotel features may change. Please verify directly with the hotel before booking.

*ERV Rating: Our unique, non-scientific ratings for romantic accommodations are based on:

• Amenities: Whirlpool or JACUZZI® Tub, walk-in shower, fireplace, lounge, etc.
• Location: proximity to restaurants, pubs, downtown, etc.
• Clientele: the types of guests the hotel typically attracts (couples, families, business travelers).
• Popularity: based on social media presence and guest reviews.
• Value: what’s offered compared to room rate.

Please Note: percentage ratings are for comparative use only and not absolute.

√ERV Clean Score: A cleanliness rating (A = 80–100%, B = 70–79%, C = 60–69%, etc.) based on our own stays and/or recent guest reviews.
