Couples often travel to certain all-inclusive
resorts for their honeymoon because they are adults-only and more geared for couples. Besides including activities and excursions, several resorts will include a honeymoon package, including a private dinner or a couple's massage.
Couples Swept Away
Couples Swept Awy
Located in Negril, Jamaica, this all-inclusive resort remains the most secluded and peaceful of all the Couples resorts. It is surrounded by acres of sandy beaches for guests to sun-bathe on, and several tropical gardens for them to explore. Couples may relax on the beach or partake in several included activities and excursions, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, unlimited golf, aerobic classics at the fitness center, and glass-bottom boat tour. They may dine at one of the resort's six restaurants, including Feathers serving gourmet cuisine or the Palms, an outdoor café, before retiring to either a garden-view or a Caribbean-view suite. The resort will give honeymooners a complimentary bottle of champagne and 30 minute massages as part of their package. Couples may upgrade their romance package by adding spa treatments, romantic dinners, or fresh roses for an extra fee.

Sandals Royal Bahamian
Sandals Royal Bahamian
This all-inclusive resort differs from others because while it is nestled on the beach in Nassau, Bahamas, guests may take a short boat ride to an off-shore island called Sandals Cay, included in the price. If they prefer more privacy, they may wish to spend part of their honeymoon on Sandals Cay, where they can relax on a peaceful beach or receive Asian-inspired spa treatments, or sip frozen drinks around the pool. Couples can participate in several activities at Sandals Royal Bahamian, including kayaking, tennis, beach volleyball and nightly entertainment. They may choose either beach-front rooms, or rooms in the Royal Village, villas surrounding the gardens and pools. Couples will enjoy international cuisine from seven restaurants, including French from the Baccarat, Caribbean from the Spices Restaurant and Italian from Ristorante Casanova.
