While
Mexico offers some of the greatest bargains in honeymoons, one
must use care and judgment. Couples need to know the real ins
and outs of different locations to get the experience that meets
their tastes.
Among your options are coastal areas with white,
sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters and resort hotels offering
every modern amenity and activity; colonial villages that quietly
bask in the sun, friendly sidewalk cafes, silent Mayan ruins,
and vibrant cities with sophisticated attractions. English is
widely spoken and the U.S. dollar is generally accepted in most
tourism destinations.
Come in and talk, so we can help you choose
which destination offers all the things you're looking for (and
none of the things you're not!).
$2,500 - $5,500 per couple
(7-10 Days)
There are four main areas for honeymoons. Puerta
Vallarta, on the west coast, has emerged as a thriving destination
with very large deluxe resorts. Thirty years ago, nothing but
a sleepy fishing village, it now boasts some of the nicest big
name resorts. Just south of Puerta Vallarta are two of our honeymoon
favorites - One is an exotic, eco-friendly resort with cottages
built over a lagoon; another offers private cottages with your
own private plunge pool on your patio overlooking the beach.

with some of the finest golf courses, scenery and hotels in that
area of Mexico.

Most of our couples would rather be in the
"Mayan Riviera", a region about an hour south of
Cancun, for its miles and miles of beautiful beaches and rainforest.
Because there are no "towns", every resort is a medium
to large All-Inclusive - very modern, lots of swim-up bars, spas,
modern rooms with Jacuzzi's and T.V.'s and trips to the nearby
Mayan ruins and dolphin encounter parks. Some cater to families;
we recommend those that cater to adults-only.

Or perhaps you'd rather head for the rugged
beauty of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo - one, a beach
town, the other a small fishing village perched on the cliffs
above overlooking the bay. My favorite has 20 little adobe houses,
Mexican folk art in its rooms, beautiful marble bathrooms - some
cottages even have private plunge pools on their terrace (book
ahead because supply is limited!). Two of our other favorites
are right on the ocean, again, with plunge pools available to
the early planners!
