If you are considering Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages, then you need starting considering many options. But first remember your honeymoon is a once in a lifetime event, which you will remember for the rest of your life. This is the first vacation your will spend as a married couple. Your honeymoon vacation is a very special time for the both of you and remember it will last several days longer than you actual wedding, so make you include this in your budget.
With all that being said, let’s start on the first step of deciding which of the Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages is right for you. Before even looking at the Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages, I would try to narrow it down to exactly where it is you want to go and what you want to do there. What is it that you are looking for? Do you just want white sandy beaches, do you want some adventure (surfing, zip line, jet skiing, waterfalls), do you want a nightlife, or do you want privacy. These are just an example of things to consider. And remember each island is different, and all the Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages are different, so look and see what island fits your relationship the best.
In case you were not aware, here is a list of 10 of the most popular honeymoon spots in the Caribbean island area where you can get Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages.

2. Dominican Republic
3. Jamaica
4. Mexico
5. Puerto Rico
6. Aruba
7. Cayman Islands
8. Barbados
9. Turks and Caicos
10. Saint Lucia
Now after deciding what location is best for you, you need to start considering the various Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages. Every package is different and includes different things. Now keep in mind Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages have their pros and their cons. When I booked my honeymoon I did not use a Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages, instead I booked everything individually, which I’ll explain why I did this shortly.
First let’s start with the pros of getting Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages:
1. Everything you need is included in the package
2. You have a good idea of the cost of you vacation since everything is included
3. It simplifies the budgeting of your honeymoon
4. You will find other honeymooners who bought similar packages to share your experiences with.
5. You know everything you are getting
Now here are the cons of getting Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages:
1. If included in the packages, you will usually transportation to your hotel from the airport in a bus with many other people. These buses are usually pretty old and do not have a/c.
2. You will usually not receive the best tours or activities included in your packages.
3. Many packages do not include food unless it is an all-inclusive resort.
4. Depending on the package their might be an itinerary set, so are on their schedule.
5. And finally you can get everything much cheaper if you booked it individually.
Yes that is right you can actually save money by not buying a package. Now this is not true for everyone, because most people do not know how to search for hotels, airfare, etc to find the cheapest deals. Searching for your honeymoon could be a lot easier and cheaper than you think. In fact for my honeymoon I ended up paying about 65% of the price of the original Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages were going to buy, all we had all the same things. In fact what do you think the companies that are providing you with these packages are doing themselves? They buy each part of the vacation separately and they sell it to you as a package an increase the price. And they will usually include some small extras like a bottle of champagne, roses on the bed, or something of this sort which you could call the hotel and get on your own for much less.
So I know most of you are wondering, what is the right way to search to get the best price on your Caribbean honeymoon instead of overpaying for Caribbean honeymoon vacation packages. Well that truth is that most of the secrets I learned on how to save on honeymoon all came from a book I read a few months before my honeymoon. The book showed me how to get discounts that usually only travel agents know about. These secrets allowed me to get my honeymoon at 65% of the original price I would have paid. And what’s even better is that I know use these secrets when I book any vacation, so now all my future vacations come out cheaper as well.
