Avoid Honeymoon Hotel Hassles

. No comments.

Planning a wedding can be both physically and mentally exhausting. Between the invitations, dealing with caterers, figuring out seating arrangements and planning the reception, by the time one gets to the honeymoon, it’s no surprise that the happy couple often end up feeling drained and just wanting to escape for a little alone time. But what would you do if you got to your wonderful destination, only to discover that there was some kind of problem with your hotel room and, rather than it being the romantic little getaway that you’d had planned,you find yourself caught in a honeymoon hotel horror? If you’re looking to avoid the honeymoon hotel headaches, try following these 5 easy steps that will help you find the perfect getaway, that’s sure to keep you and your new spouse in the mood:

Count Your Pennies

Yes, it’s a pain to have to sit there and worry about finances, but you’ve already put out so much for the wedding and the reception. While it’s tempting to go lavish, try to ensure that your hotel stays well within your allowance – just because you’re on your honeymoon doesn’t mean you have to stay at the swankest joint on the block. Avoid the crowds and try to shoot for something perhaps a little less expensive but more private and romantic. You’ll appreciate it more in the long run.

How do you figure out your honeymoon allowance? It’s surprisingly simple, actually – First, figure out the total amount that you have set aside for your honeymoon. Airfare should come off first, as well as any kind of ground travel, such as taxi cab fair, rental car, or even the charge to take a horse drawn carriage through the park, one afternoon.

Next, figure out how much money it’s going to cost you for food and drinks, as well as allowing yourself a little extra, not only for tips, but also for any special treats, souvenirs, or a little bit of spending cash in case of an emergency. Once you’ve subtracted all of that out, look at the amount of money that you have left. Divide that number by the nights which you plan on staying in a hotel and, simple as that, you have a rough figure of how much you can allot, each night, for your hotel room. This will help you to choose the best place, for the cheapest price.

The Value of Robes and Mini Bars

Plan out, ahead of time, what you really want in a hotel and what you think you’ll really use. After all, if you’ve got a busy schedule already planned out, visiting museums during the day and clubbing away the night, is it really necessary to stay at a hotel that has a spa so that you could go work out every day? More often than not, your new spouse will probably have better ideas for things to do, if you have your heart set on working up a sweat. Remember that all those little niceties and conveniences usually come with a price and, let’s face it, there’s no sense paying for them if you aren’t going to put them to use. The mini bar might be a novelty but it’s far more expensive and not half so romantic as opening a bottle of champagne and sipping the bubbly out under the stars

Make a To-Do List

While this doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, it will probably end up saving you a great deal of money in the long run. You’ve already haggled for the best marquee hire prices, and now its time to do the same for your honeymoon. Making up a list of what the two of you would like to do allows you to plan out your honeymoon, ensuring both partners have a good time, but it also lets you plan ahead of time and figure out where different locations are. Don’t be afraid to save yourself time, money, and gasoline by moving to another hotel that’s closer to your intended destinations for the next day’s adventure. Not only will it keep things new, fresh, and exciting, but it will also save you precious time and make for less hassles the next day.
