Hey there u/LuxTravelCurator - Just checking back in on this!
Man, I am so freaking excited after reading this. THANK YOU!
Love it. How was the snorkeling? People did make comments about the rain making the water much muddier - was that overstated?
Absolutely will do - great suggestion (and probably worth the membership)
You honestly made me feel much better in the rain with your comment around downtime being nice.. we’re pretty outdoorsy but during the honeymoon, that doesn’t sound like the worst to be honest!
That makes a ton of sense. Thank you so much! I’ve been to Panama 3 times (such an underrated place to visit!) and one of our really close friends just moved there.
I have no doubt it’s on our to do list, but we will probably choose something a bit harder to get to
Any favorite hotels there that fits the above?
Love it!! Super helpful
Man, this is awesome. I was actually looking at the Conrad today as well but just at a high level.. had no idea about the underwater restaurant! Love it- will reach out on the travel guide side as well (probably this weekend) - Ty!
Love the suggestions, definitely checking into both!
Ooooh, I 100% pulled up Brazil this morning given people’s weather comments about SE Asia during August.. will look into both of these (Principe sounds awesome!)
Definitely not rambling, loved reading this!! We were actually originally looking to start the honeymoon in Greece but got worried about August weather (vs. Sept/Oct.) and prices with the Europeans on vacation. Do you think prices / weather / experience would be materially better in October? Our current plan is to do about 4 weeks across Greece and Italy to round out our trip.
Yeah, holy crap Naraya Costa Rica looked so cool - that is 100% on the bucket list. Stella Island sounds special and again, right up our alley. Move is probably to just skip the overwater bungalow and do a different but unique hotel idea to kick the trip off. Maybe one of the Amans in SE Asia… among some other ideas were kicking around (now including Crete and Cambodia haha)
All good! Much appreciate it. Will definitely be reaching out as well as we get into booking. Thank you for the help
Man, that is 100% much more of our vibe and what we’re looking for. That sounds amazing. Any favorites in the Seychelles that are particularly special as well? I’ve heard amazing things about Six senses, but we’re a bit worried about the heat in August, that said, I’m definitely even more excited about it now!
What an awesome list. There’s no overwater bungalow-types in that group, right? I was looking at Amanoi and while their website video honestly wasn’t great.. people absolutely rave about it online
This is awesome, thank you! I was definitely looking at the Brando and then saw the price 😢 haha.. Nayara Bocas is definitely our vibe. We’ve been to Panama twice together in 5 years (we love it there!) and actually just went to Bocas in December. We’re going to aim for a different country but will add Nayara to the list.
Any other recommendations? You definitely know our vibe 😁
Appreciate the help and guidance as well as the congrats 👌🏽2 follow up questions, 1) any specific recommendations in that $800-$1,200 / night range? And 2) any specific thoughts on how to find a great travel agent that will help with access to great benefits?
These suggestions are awesome! Can’t wait to spend some time checking these out.
Also, I did a Ha Long Bay trip in my mid-20s and have always hopes to bring my future partner there on one of those cruises. I’m going to really try to make this happen during the Vietnam trip, and will specifically check out the L’amour junk.. thank you!
Appreciate both recommendations & the caveats on price 👌🏽
That is wild! But I imagine there’s not much needed in terms of clothing in the Maldives at least!
Honeymoon overwater hotel or unique hotel ideas / recs?
