Our next stop was Rome! This was my 3rd time in Rome and certainly not my last. I absolutely love this city, and our hotel was in the perfect location for exploring.
Hotel Fortyseven is the lit up building on the right
We stayed at Hotel Fortyseven which was great! It was just a short walk to the sights of Rome. Plus we could easily walk over to Trastevere at night for amazing little restaurants and bars.
Standard Room
The suite that opens up to a private terrace- look at those views!!!
The hotel is really clean and modern, and has really generous room sizes for European standards.
The rooftop restaurant
One of my favorite features of the hotel is the rooftop balcony. It has amazing views and is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine after a long day of walking around the city.
Everyone at the hotel is so friendly and anxious to help in any way that they can. I will definitely keep recommending this hotel to my clients after our wonderful stay here!
Next up- my favorite food finds in Rome!
Ubud is known as the center of arts and culture in Bali and the nature setting is unbelievably breath-taking. Tucked away in rice terraces of Bali Indonesia,
Ubud Hanging Gardens is a boutique styled hotel with only 38 private villas and suites.
Each villa has their own private terrace and plunge pool, which guarantees guests a gorgeous view of the natural surroundings. Which is pretty perfect for honeymoon couples!
The hotel also offers amazing spa services at their Ayung Spa. Situated close to the riverbanks, guests listen to the relaxing sound of the water while getting pampered the Balinese way.
Lastly,
Ubud Hanging Gardens now offers a package inspired and based on the novel, “Eat, Pray, Love”.
Explore the island’s most magical temples, enjoy dance performances inspired by Hindu scriptures and meet artisans who bring ancient lore to life in art.
Sounds perfect, right? If you are interested in a honeymoon to Bali and staying at this beautiful hotel, contact

The next resort we stayed at was Secrets Sanctuary Resort in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic. This resort is located about 15 minutes south of Punta Cana Airport. It is an adults only resort and all inclusive.
Infinity pool overlooking the ocean
The Casino
Seating in the bar area where they had live music almost every night. We LOVED our stay at this resort. There are about 175 rooms and suites at this resort, but it is really spread out so it feels quiet and private. If you are facing the ocean, there is a private beach on the far right of the resort (pictured below!). During our whole stay we never saw anyone on this beach!
The water was really clear and beautiful, and really warm. There were barely any waves, so we really enjoyed swimming. The main pool has a swim up bar (love those!), there is a casino, and many other activities available.
We spent our first night in a Ocean View Junior Suite which was very nice. But when asked if we wanted to move to the 3,100 square foot Royalty Villa, we were ecstatic! Take a peek inside…
Here is the outside
And here is the entrance when you first walk in! An outside dining area, the all glass living room to the left, and the huge balcony and ocean straight ahead!
This was our balcony…
with steps that went right into the ocean!
This was our view to the left
This was our view to the right
See the glass on the left? That was our bathtub!
Here is the view from the bathtub from the inside! Unbelievable right??? They practically had to drag us out of there when it was time to leave!
At least once a week since then, Dave has asked when we can go back there. Which I find hilarious because I had to majorly talk him into Dominican Republic because he had heard it wasn’t very nice. Happy to say that I quickly changed his mind on that!
Main pool
I highly recommend this resort to couples that want to relax, do some water activities and have great food and drinks. We didn’t leave the resort at all during our stay, but the concierge at the resort can set up all kind of activities or tours for you. There are some very nice golf courses nearby as well.
Check back tomorrow for an amazing offer to this resort for one lucky couple!
