Honeymoon for under $2k
Posted on 6/17/14 at 7:41 am

Hello faithful OT,
I'm getting married soon. Inb4dontdoit. Date is in January.
My friend was telling me to go to St. Lucia and it would be about $5500 for what he did. I have the money to do it. Inb4lying. I just want to know if it's possible to go to a beach in another country (safe area of course) for 2k or less.
$2,000 isn't a magic number; just looking for a cheaper honeymoon. There's gotta be something out there!
Thanks guys.

how old are you?
should you be getting married if you are this financially unstable?
Gulf Shores, AL
in all seriousness, you could pull that off in mexico for 4-5 nights, but it wont be any kind of all inclusive resort or anything.

probably going to have to do one of those all inclusives in Mexico or something...
or you could go to VRBO and find a house in Costa Rica or something
...why does it have to be a beach?

If you're a Costco member you can book vacations through them and save a lot of money; airfare and transpiration to and from the airport are usually included within the price.

You can do it for $2k not including airfare, but this is your honeymoon. It's the best excuse you'll have to dump money into a vacation for a while. If you have the money, do it right.

first, prepare your anus
then, check out some all-inclusives in Jamaica and Mexico... Mexico will probably be your best bet

Good luck! Airfare alone is going to be $1200 minimum

Grand Isle.....
but seriously you could spend that much, it all depends on how extravagant you want. If you want ocean front hotel room, youre going to pay $$$$$. Same beach but a hotel across the street without a view will be a lot cheaper.

I'd rather go all out on my honeymoon. Spend the extra cash.

For just under 3K (including flights), the Royal Hideaway in Playacar Mexico.
My wife and I went for 5 days/4 nights. All inclusive....like everything.
5 star dining, wine liquor, everything included.
It was awesome....I couldn't help but think of a Mexican version of Destin.
We will go back again some day.

I can barely go to lunch for under $2,000. You may just want to hit Beau Rivage breh.
Posted on 6/17/14 at 7:53 am to LSUTigers00884
You could probably do St John for less than $3000.
$2000 is going to be tough anywhere because airfare will eat up half your budget.

Flights alone to any decent Caribbean country will be $800-1000 unless you have a direct from your city or want to go to Mexico. All inclusive a will run $150-200+ per person per day. So that's about $300+ per night. Find a cheaper hotel and then you have to pay for food and drinks yourself. You can get by for $3k but not $2k unless you go cheap in Mexico or maybe Dominican and get a flight special.

Stay in the us.
Ski Big Sky or go NYC / New England or ski Killington Vt.

You can do it but airfare will make that number unattainable.
Are you wanting just to lounge at a resort, drink alcohol and frick a lot? I mean, that's the typical honeymoon, but if you're up for something a bit more adventurous or a bit different...
I say make a road trip out of it.
Assuming you're coming out of Louisiana....
Do a tour of the coast:
Part one - Drive to Destin, 30A, or Panama City. Stay at a $150/night hotel, walk the beach, eat some food, have sex a few times.
Part two - Drive to Suwanee State Park. Camp or stay at a nearby hotel. Go hiking for a day. Maybe canoe if available.
Part three - Drive to Tampa. Stay in Clearwater. Go to Busch Gardens.
Part four - Drive to Orlando. Pick a Disney Park and go for the day.
Part five - Drive to Miami. Hit the beach where the weather could be fairly warm. Maybe go as far south as the Keys.
Part six - You could fly home from Miami or if you still have time and the desire, drive to Daytona. At this point, you'll have been gone though for 6 days and may just want to fly home.
I think that would be a fun trip. My honeymoon was spent at a Sandals resort in the Bahamas in November. It was cold, windy, and claustrophobic. We had a bunch of sex, drank some crappy cocktails, ate decent food and wished we had done something more adventurous.

I would look at Costa Rica. There are direct flights from DFW, and I'm sure plenty of other US airports. Pretty cheap accommodations and hanging out on the beach doesn't cost any more than the beers you drink. I've heard of people going to Turks & Caicos on the cheap, but flights there are brutal.
ETA: my dad told me about his first honeymoon in 1962 - he and his bride drove to Acapulco... through Mexico City. Probably avoid doing that these days.

We did Playacar palace in playa del Carmen for $2300 for 5 nights. All inclusive with a $1500 resort credit that they offered if you stayed 5 nights or more. We used the free credits for a nicer room upgrade, spa treatments, romantic dinner on the beach and some tour excursions.
We went in December
