If you're like me, you only want the best for your once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon vacation. Why not take the time and find the best, most highly-rated resorts in the world? After all, you want the marriage to get off to best possible start and it starts with a really great honeymoon experience. It pays to do the research and read the reviews before you book. Here are some resorts that I've highlighted to you get started on the right track:
The Royal Plantation in Jamaica was voted the best resort hotel in the Caribbean for 2006 by the World Travel Awards. The resort is located on the north side of Jamaica under the St. Ann Mountains that sweep down to two perfect beaches. Royal Plantation pampers guests with a 2 to 1 staff to guest ratio, in-room massages, and three gourmet restaurants that create any dish on request. Enjoy the mango mimosas on the beach from 11 AM to PM, and afternoon tea on the Terrace from 4 -5 PM.
Vatulele Resort in Fiji is an all-inclusive barefoot resort in paradise. The resort has no TVs, no newspapers, no internet, no telephones and no shoes! Just pure, romantic seclusion. Vatulele was voted the best resort in Fiji by the World Travel Awards, AAA Tourism Awards, and Luxury Travel Magazine. Try the special honeymoon bure with 1,960 square feet of exclusive space, air conditioning, private deck, sound system, two indoor and outdoor showers, bidet, bathtub, cozy dining area and plunge pool.
Ladera Resort in St. Lucia is a highly rated resort in one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. St. Lucia itself is rated the #1 honeymoon destination by Travel and Leisure magazine. Ladera resort is located high in the mountains on the south side of the island and it looks as if you're in the South Pacific. Ladera is not your typical luxury resort as all of the suites are open to nature with no air conditioning. Seventeen private suites overlook the sea below and each has a private pool, but it's the service there that makes this place so special. “The staff at Ladera is over the top when it comes to customer service. They make the experience all that more enjoyable. Everyone we encountered had a cheerful attitude and made us feel very welcomed. They meet our every request always with a smile. They made us feel like royalty.”
La Villa Mauresque in Cote d'Azur, France is a World Travel award winner for best villa in Europe. The Moorish style and beautifully manicured gardens set the mood - and the location, on the French Rivera, is tailor made for romance. St. Tropez is not too far from here as well as many local restaurants. If golf is your thing, there is a course nearby and beaches that offer sailing, jet skiing, and windsurfing. You may decide to just sit out on the terrace and enjoy the beautiful view.
