Honeymoon Location ideas? On a 'budget'
Hi! My fiance and I would love some help with honeymoon locations. We live in MN and want to honeymoon in the Caribbean, keeping it under $4k if possible.
We are in our mid twenties and want some place romantic, tropical, and relaxing, while not boring and having things to do and see nearby. Different animals, scenery, possibly jungles, snorkeling, NICE BEACHES, fun stores and buildings to walk around down the road, possibly massages? Etc. We are both very active and it’s hard to sit and do nothing for extended periods.
My DREAM is staying in some type of water bungalow over the ocean, or some type of unique lodging. FYI- we are NOT one bit rich. I realized after saying all that that it sounds like we have all this money to spend, but we do not. Trying to keep it under $4k
-Would be leaving from MN MPLS Airport end of June, and hoping for 7-10 nights
-Tropical (on the beach would be nice)
-Open to all inclusive resorts to save money, but also would love other options to get a more authentic experience
-Car rental : It would be nice to have a car and not have to take taxis everywhere. Safe driving in the area?
-Near things to do : beach, jungle, sight seeing, authentic food and buildings, not a total tourist trap with tourist shops like cities in FL and Myrtle Beach SC, water excursions, etc
-SAFE and not difficult or dangerous getting around
Have been to Puerto Rico and LOVED it. The buildings, scenery, beaches, EVERYTHING. I would definitely be open to going here again - Felt very safe, not anxious about getting scammed or robbed constantly like in Rome.
My fiancé and I both definitely get a little anxious when we are in foreign areas, but once we are situated and get a feel for the area/people, we are good
(Yes, I know $4k is pushing it, BUT I have faith in the deals that arise during summer, especially on Expedia. I have gotten Mexico all inclusive & Italy flight+stay packages on Expedia before for a week, $850-$975)
