Honeymoon Flash

❤️ lovely!

(one of my table names is Bellagio god choice lol)

Maldives for me. 5 star resort only 75 villas on the island day after the wedding... think I am more excited about Honeymoon then the day.. hehehe - we both wanted Maldives, chose this first and then working wedding around it (Feb). I learnt to scuba dive last year and can't wait.. OH is a technical wreck diver so perfect choice, and my parents are staying to look after my daughter for 2weeks. bliss.

? thats funny

I really wanted the Maldives too. But as it would mean extra saving once we have got our house, we have settled for Mauritius and have found a gorgeous hotel that we are definate we want to stay at now.

Moon Palace looks amazing, we considered there when we were going to have our wedding in the June but then it got changed to the Janaury

Quite right!!

We are going to Sensatori Tenerife!!

Oh i didnt mean it like that.

Its just we had our heart set on the Maldives and its quite hard to have to decide that you really cant afford it.

I have got nothing wrong with Mauritius at all. It was our second choice of where to go.

Just at the moment slightly disappointed that we cant afford where we really wanted to go. Quite mad with myself that i havent been saving as i should of to be able to get there. Its just hard with saving for my first house and stuff

Geminibebe - that looks AMAZING!

Am not going on a honeymoon ☹️

but all your choices sound fab

I have no idea where my honeymoon is! I know when and where we fly from and that is it!

We delayed our honeymoon by 6 months to give us a little more time to save for it and have something else for us to look forward to.... the volcano ash put pay to that though and meant our flights were cancelled [:'(]

We've re-booked it and this time next week we'll be making our way to the airport ?

We're going to Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives. Only 43 villas on the island and very luxurious (think we'll feel quite out of place!!) we've got our own plunge pool which was my only stipulation for our honeymoon - can't wait!

How amazing do these places look?

**Lamby Sighs as looks round messy office and listens to traffic noises** he he.

We're going to Hawaii - to Oahu and Maui then to Vegas for four nights though the hotel is a surprise. The others aren't though - am far too controlling and excited to not plan/know any details!

These are of our maui hotel and beach, I can't save the other hotel pics from their site!

Lamby - friends of ours went to Hawaii - think they went to Maui, Oahu and one other island....they said it was amazing. THink you'll have an awesome time!

Wow everything looks amazing, i want to go on honeymoon RIGHT now. i am definitely more excited about the honeymoon than the big day. we're going to the Maldives too, Coco Palm Bodu Hithi, 10 nights, our own plunge pool and water villa, going to be heavenly YAY xxx

All these places look so amazing ❤️

We're going to Kenya for 2 weeks, staying here for the first 4 nights: https://www.heritage-eastafrica.com/beach-holiday/voyager-beach-resort/accomodation

Then we're back to the Voyager hotel for a week. Can't wait!

The Moon Palace is a fantastic place to go. Myself and OH went a few years ago and loved it so much we're going abck for our honey. We're staying for 3 weeks.

Take lots of $1 notes with you. They are great as tips. If you tip the waiters, you will be inundated with alcohol constantly. They are such wonderful people there!

We are staying in a hotel near our venue for a couple of nights after the wedding

Where we have our own hottub on the veranda and outdoor heated pool on site too.

A few months later we are planning to campervan around NewZealand...

Hopefully a funkier camper - but you get the idea ?

good tip! thanks!

Nothing to flash! Honeymoon is a surprise - I find out on Monday! Woooo! ?
Someone lovely looking places!!

Raef - I didn't know you were having a surprise one too? Are you excited?? Do you know when you'll find out?

Honeymoon Part 2 is a trip to the US - Washington DC, NYC and Vegas - staying at the Bellagio (fave hotel in Vegas) ?

We went to Hawaii for our first holiday together - it was where D first told me he loved me! ? You'll love it!

No problem!

I can't wait to go there. Do you which side of the resort your staying on? Sunshine/Nizuc/Grand. Sunshine has the nightclub which is great fun. Especially when they americans do kareoke...very good entertainment!

we didn't specify when we booked as we booked through virgin. H2B and I aren't that big fan of karaoke.....we prefer to go on holiday and chill and ignore most other people lol! I was thinking maybe Grand side as we're wanting some quiet time, but I'm not sure

Thanks, can't wait! Your honeymoon looks STUNNING! I have always wanted to go to Mexico and that was our plan but it's totally the wrong time of year for us weather wise. It looks beautiful...then we both get to live it up in Vegas for 4 days, woo hoo. Fat Elvis and Cocktails here we come! ?

All the sides are great. I've stayed on Sunshine, and was always located near the bar!!!

Grand is the new part, which is more luxurious I think.

Also when the coach/taxi turns into the front gates of the Moon Palace, don't be put off by the bumpy dirt track, you'll be amazed when you get to the end...its a long track as well! The resort is huge, I've never been to something so big. The pools are a mile long if you swim round them!

Are you planning to go on any trips? I can totally recommend the speedboats and snorkelling. You and your partner get a speed boat to drive, and you go in a line with others. The guide will take you to a place out in the lagoon where you can go snorkelling which is fantastic! Definatly an underwater camera moment!

Cor listen to me getting carried away! I so hope you enjoy it as much as I do. (My bro and SIL go every year, they have been 8 times now!!!)

We prob will do tris although we haven't looked into it properly yet

Is grand the side with the infinity pool? I'm quite keen on that!

Wow! You must be very excited - that is a very traditional thing to do, sweet! OH is surprising me on the Vegas hotel but the rest I wanted to be part of. Though he did all the leg work bless him and I think has organised a few surprises in the type of room we're in and what we're doing, etc. Were you not tempted to wait until you got to the airport? I suppose you need to know what to pack though! How fab, you won't sleep Sunday! ?

Yeah it is! Looks a lovely part of the resort, its only be open for a year!

Chelle - I think grand probably will be our choice.....want to be chilled and relaxed....not bothered about being "where the action is" if you see what I mean

Your places all look amazing! doubt i'll be able to get anything quite that luxurious,but then im terrible at booking holidays and finding good deals, what companies are you all using? or are you booking it all seperately on your own??

We booked ours separately - we actually wanted to do it through an agent but we tried a few and they couldn't get what we wanted for what we were paying - they were charging 500-1000 more and couldn't even get the room types we wanted!

I think it depends where you are going, if it is a more 'typical' place there are lots of good deals through thomas cook and such. Def worth shopping around though and pricing up putting it together yourself!

Snap - we booked ours through virgin Just checked out their brochures and then told them where we wanted to go

All your honeymoon destinations look gorgeous! I have my heart set on the Maldives but all depends on money and time of year. A couple of people have told me that July is the rainy season too!

If you don't mind me asking roughly how much are your Maldives honeymoons costing you? x
