Maui is an incredible destination for honeymooners, wedding-goers and everyone in between! Check out 5 of our favorite things you should put on your Maui itinerary:
Picture
Whale Watching
Humpback whale watching is a very popular attraction for Maui tourists. There are whale watching cruises that will take you and your family to the most exquisite coastlines to see them! These tour boats typically have an open upper deck and enclosed lower deck, so visitors can choose their own experience. In addition, the enclosed main cabin will have large viewing windows, and under-the-water web cams and hydrophones to enhance your experience. Tours operate during whale migration season, so be sure to book this excursion between December and May.
 
Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkeling
Explore some of Hawaii’s best marine life in Molokini, a sunken volcano that is home to the most gorgeous coral reef in the world. Swim alongside the colorful fish and vibrant coral and wildlife. Later on, your tour will make a pit stop at Turtle Town or Coral Gardens for a very unique sea turtle sighting! This excursion is a half-day cruise from Maui, and well worth the journey!
 
Road to Hana
For the nature-lovers in your group, the Road to Hana is a great Maui activity for you! This gorgeous stretch of terrain consists of miles of tropical forests and exotic plants that will take your breath away. Along the way, travelers will have the opportunity to stop at Hawaii’s most exotic state parks to explore and take plenty of photos. Natural springs, waterfalls and rainforests will enchant you along the way. A great adventure for those looking to see what Maui is all about!
 
Relax at Ka'anapali Beach
Voted as Trip Advisor’s “Best Beach in Maui”, Ka’anapali Beach is ideal for all the sun-lovers out there. It is a great place for snorkeling, watersports or just lounging out all day. The area is also surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance, and is a gorgeous stretch of pristine sands with beautiful views.
 
Luau Dinner and a Show
Celebrate Hawaiian culture at this high-energy and exciting event! Enjoy traditional Hawaiian cuisine, while lively music and performances entertain you all night long. Traditional luaus take place right on the beach with an enormous buffet spread of pork, vegetables, and more! The best part?

6 Ways I Was Swept Away At Couples Resorts In Negril

12/22/2018

0 Comments

 
“The locals kept asking us our reason for visiting – little did I know it was to celebrate our engagement!
​

After a much-anticipated (and needed!) vacation planned by our favorite travel experts *wink*, we are finally back from the trip that will forever be in our hearts. So without further ado, here are 6 reasons I was completely “swept away” at Couples Swept Away, in Negril, Jamaica:

The Beach
From the moment we stepped on the silky-white sand, to our first dip into the sparkling-blue sea, we immediately fell in love with Jamaica. Situated on the center point of , boasts gorgeous tropical views on one of the best beaches in the world. It was hard saying goodbye to it!

The Exotic Appeal
The first thing we requested for our next vacation was something a bit more exotic than your average beach resort. We wanted to see the different plants and brightly-colored flowers – perhaps an iguana or two! Little did we know, most of the villas at this property are surrounded by lush greens, winding paths, and jaw-dropping views from the rooms. We felt like we were in the middle of a rain forest!

The Water Sports
Couples Swept Away is not your average all-inclusive. In fact, most of the water activities were included in our stay – which we took full advantage of, every day! Marc really enjoys wakeboarding, so they took him out one day, “no problem.” We also tried everything from hydro-biking, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking and oh yeah, the complimentary “booze cruise!”

The Locals
We both expected the chill, laid-back vibes before we arrived in Jamaica. But nothing quite compares to seeing the kings and queens of reggae up close and personal! On days when there was overcast, we’d head to the nearest tiki bar and have a drink with the bartenders. We’d joke around with our snorkeling instructor as he passed around a starfish for us to touch. We’d even applaud the guitarist on the beach who put our names into a song. Ya, mon!

The Seafood
Marc and I were really looking forward to fresh seafood, and we certainly got it in Negril! Our favorite, and a common menu item, was the red snapper – which they’d whip up in dishes with mango salsa, fresh vegetables, or on a sandwich (don’t even get me started with the “”). We certainly didn’t leave Jamaica hungry!

The Romance
​
The last and probably biggest reason I was swept away happened about an hour after we arrived. We were wandering around the resort to scope everything out, when we came across this little bridge set across a small pond in the back of the property. We soaked in the sunset, exchanged some (mushy) words, and before I knew it – Marc was on his knee asking me to marry him. I teased him how all the locals kept asking us our reason for visiting – little did I know it was to celebrate our engagement! A romantic and special moment, indeed.
 
After revisiting “our bridge” several times on our last day, it was time to say goodbye. Truly an experience we won’t forget. Thank you, Romance Travel Group for the amazing recommendation.

7 Romantic Things You Must Do For Your Honeymoon

6/19/2018

0 Comments

 
These are everything when it comes to the ultimate honeymoon experience!
1. Work with a Romance Travel Specialist
Just throwing it out there!  Working with an expert in romance travel will not only help you identify the perfect honeymoon location and resort, but we'll work with you to ensure the entire process is a breeze!
 
2. Tell People
Don't hide the fact that you're on your honeymoon! Of course, we don't expect you waltz around the place in your matching Mr. and Mrs. shirts, but a casual "we're on our honeymoon" to resort staff can certainly run in your favor. In fact, a lot of resorts award honeymoon credits and special gifts to newlyweds. So, feel free to profess your love!  (PS: A good specialist will do this for you even before you arrive on site.)
 
3. Limit Social Media
We get it – sometimes social media can consume you. But a honeymoon is a special time in your life that happens just once. Don't forget to pause, savor those beautiful moments, and just enjoy the person you love. Social media can wait until you're home.
 
4. Pack Your Lingerie!
It's time to bust out the sexy lingerie, ladies! Wow your man with something special – you (and he!) will be glad you did. 

5. Treat Yourselves
After months of stress, healthy eating, and exercise – you need a break. Take this time to indulge in some delicious dessert, have a spa day... heck, go skinny-dipping! You've earned it, girl!

​6. Catch the Sun
Such a simple thing, but watching the sun rise and set on vacation is magical. Be sure to set aside time to see both, if you can! However, if setting an alarm on your honeymoon seems a bit daunting, then maybe snuggling up on the beach with a glass of wine in hand would be a better option to end your day.
 
7. Capture Every Moment
Life is all about balance, and this certainly applies to taking picture on vacation. While it's important to enjoy the moment you're in, you won't want to miss capturing those perfect moments on your special vacation – so be sure to bring the camera along!
