I have been researching honeymoon spots and lurking on the Honeymoon Board but I wanna hear from our AA married knotties on here! I know a lot of our ladies went on honeymoons recently so...
Where did you go? How long was your stay? How did you book (TA, specific website)? Would you recommend your hotel/resort, etc? Overall experience?
TIA
Re: Married Knotties: Honeymoon Experience?
[QUOTE]Sorry I'm not married (yet) but I will add that as far as booking I am working with Beach Bum Vacations for our HM. My TA is Melissa and she has been great to work with. When FI and I first started planning, we were planning a destination wedding in St. Thomas so Melissa was working with us on planning that. We then completely changed our wedding to have a wedding closer to home (in Vegas) and I let Melissa know that we were no longer planning a DW but we were still thinking about St. Thomas for our HM. She let me know that she can still plan our HM in St. Thomas even though we aren't getting married there so maybe checking out Beach Bum Vacations would be an option for you. She basically does all the leg work as far as pricing and arrangements and even when I told her I found a cheaper price booking directly with the resort, she matched it. I also like the fact that their TA's have travelled to a lot of the resorts so they can offer first hand knowledge of the resorts. The best thing is she's free, she gets her fee from the resort I assume. Just something to think about. Hope it helps :)

I've actually been trying to find a TA to help me plan our 1 year anniversary/honeymoon. I will have to send her an email.
How long was your stay? 7 Days
How did you book (TA, specific website)? Not sure husband booked
Would you recommend your hotel/resort, etc? Yes definitely would DH and I said we would go back around the 5 year mark but invite some of our other married friends to go with us.
Overall experience? Love the place, however our room was near their construction area so we were awaken each morning by workers and grass cutting. Housekeeping is annoying and some of the female workers there are desperate! They really try to throw themselves at the married men traveling, many of which are with their new wives. DH had to put two in check! Otherwise I loved the place. The food and drinks were great and they had activities the entire time that you could participate in if you wanted
The flight to Belize isn't long - it's about the same as flying to Mexico. Belize is also right next to Guatamala so you could potentially visit two countries while you're there.
We had more than enough to do - from exploring Mayan ruins to snorkeling with sharks/stingrays, to inner-tubing through caves...everything was fun!
Try not to over-book yourselves, we left a few days completely open with no activities, day trips, etc. and we were glad to just relax and enjoy our first few days as husband and wife. You will find more than enough to occupy your time while you relax in your private space!

Yeah once we changed our plans to Vegas I thought Melissa and I were about to part ways because I assumed she only booked destination weddings but she said she could also do the HM as well. I'm not sure if you can select your TA from BBV but if so, I definitely recommend Melissa. Hope this helps :)
