To make planning easier, nothing beats choosing one of the top-rated honeymoon destinations, all-inclusive resorts. The idea is simple, choose where you want to go, make your travel arrangements, make your payment and off you go. That’s the beauty of the all-inclusive resort; once you have paid all you need to do is show up and enjoy a romantic vacation with your newly fiancé.
The only problem with going all-inclusive is deciding which resort to go to because there are quite a few out there. To rule out some of them, let’s consider what you want out of a post-wedding vacation; namely, peace, privacy and romance. Fortunately, there are a number of couples- and adults-only resorts that cater to those things. Now you just have to decide which couples-only resort is the place for you and your spouse-to-be.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of what are considered to be the top-rated all-inclusive honeymoon destinations. They are in no particular order and any one of them would be a memory to last a lifetime.
Excellence Playa Mujeres – This exclusive adults-only luxury resort is located just north of Cancun, Mexico, on a pristine 20-mile peninsula. The good thing about this resort is its proximity to Cancun. A quick 10-minute bus or taxi ride will take you to the shops, clubs, and nightlife of the city center, but the complex itself provides a sense of secluded seclusion. There’s two miles of beach for plenty of water sports, jacuzzi suites, and some suites offer a jacuzzi on the rooftop terrace, 24-hour room service, and a top-of-the-line spa.
Couples Swept Away – Located along the legendary 7 Mile Beach in Negril, Jamaica, this is one of the most popular adults-only and couples-only resorts in the Caribbean. This all-inclusive resort offers excellent food, service, and with Couples Resorts’ additional inclusions including golf trips, scuba and snorkeling, and sunset sails, is truly a unique value. If a Jamaican honeymoon is on the cards, then this is the resort for you.

All rooms are suites and include Jacuzzis inside the rooms and most have Jacuzzis on the balcony or outside patio.

Royal Playa del Carmen – This adults-only, all-suite resort is located in Playa del Carmen, in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico.

If you choose to stay on property, there is plenty to do including 9 restaurants, 7 bars, 2 pools, a spa, and all the beach activities you could want to do.
