Where to go on a budget??

Hello!I'm just beginning the process of planning the honeymoon, and I have no idea where to start!  We are getting married May 30 and would like to go somewhere warm with nice beaches.  However, we'd like to stay under $3500 with airfare.   Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we should look?  Can we have a nice honeymoon with this budget?Thank you all!!

Re: Where to go on a budget??

  • $3500 is plenty. We spent $2500 with airfare and will be going to Ochos Rio Jamaica for 7 days and 6 nights. We are staying at Couples Tower Isles. It is AI and def the way to go if you are on a budget. Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican republic, and bahamas are just to name a few places where I think you could go and stay within your budget.

  • That's a great budget!  A lot of brides honeymoon for a lot less.  We stayed at the Secrets Silversands in Riviera Maya Mexico for well under that budget.  We travelled this past may and the weather was gorgeous!!
  • Mexico for sure!! Lots of beautiful resorts (all inclusive too) in that price range!
  • I second Mexico! You can stay at a beautiful AI and still have extra leftover maybe for some fun excursions. Lots of brides on here honeymoon in Mexico. I would also suggest Dominican Republic or Jamaica which both also have great AI's within your budget. HTH! :0)
  • cruises are within your budget. Search all inclusives through maybe sandals?

  • We're doing 7 nights at Secrets Maroma Beach (Mayan Riviera), direct flights included for $3600. 
  • I agree with pp, that is a good budget.  Ours is $1500.  We are going to Disney.
  • We just got back from Couples Negril for 10 days.  The entire trip, with airfare was $2800.  You literally do not have to spend any money there if you don't want too.  There is also Swept Away, which is right up the beach.  The cost might be about $200 more for a better room.  I can honestly say that the Negril beach is my fav so far in the Carribean.  I'm thinking Aruba and Antigua might be able to compare, which I hope to get to one day.  I've been to the USVI, and the BVI, and Negril was definitely better.  The water is very calm, crystal clear blue, and they rake the beach every single morning.  If there is seaweed that happened to wash up after an afternoon storm, it is gone by 9am.  Couples is a bit more rustic however.  They try to blend it in with the environment, which personally, we liked.  It's very quiet, but if you want to party, you can.  The food was absolutely delicous as well, and I am a bit of a food snob..  Anyways, good luck!!!
  • Are you wanting to stay under 3500$ all inclusive, or just $3500 for just airfare/hotel - if it's the second one you can go almost anywhere - we are going to England/Scotland for a week and our airfare/hotel was less than that.  However, for all exclusive I'd recommend somewhere in the Caribbean.
