I have been traveling a lot lately, even by my standards! I am so excited to share my most recent adventure! I recently stayed at the incredible Rosewood Mayakoba Resort. I had heard wonderful things about this resort and my clients had raved about it so my expectations were high- and everything about the resort exceeded these expectations! The food, drinks, and service were all so incredible that it was pretty tough returning to reality!
There is so much that I loved about this resort. It is set within lagoons, and almost every suite has a private dock. So you arrive to your suite by boat which I loved! Then every suite has a private pool which is pretty amazing. Nice to take an after dinner swim with your sweetie! The resort has 128 suites that are really spread out, so every suite feels incredibly private.
There are a number of special things the resort can do for honeymoon couples. For example there is a small island within the lagoons with just a wood platform. You can be picked up from your suite by boat, taken to this island for a couples massage, then returned back to your suite by boat. Pretty cool right?! They can also set up a private dinner either within the lagoons or on the beach, and then have a bubble bath with a bottle of champagne ready back in your suite. WOW.
The beach was absolutely gorgeous. The water was pretty calm and warm so I loved swimming every day. The service down on the beach is really amazing as well- the staff would come by to offer to clean sunglasses, offering fruit popsicles, lime sorbet, small desserts, and even offering head massages! I felt so incredibly pampered, and more relaxed than I had been in a very long time.
Clients of Ever After Honeymoons that stay at Rosewood Mayakoba receive complimentary breakfast daily, a room upgrade if available at arrival, and a $100 spa credit! So contact us if this sounds your perfect honeymoon spot!
If you follow along on Instagram, you know that I just returned from a pretty amazing trip to Half Moon Bay for Thanksgiving. We wanted to get away for a few days, and didn’t want to travel too far. My boyfriend Dave had stayed at The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay a few years ago for a work trip and loved it, so we decided that would be the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving. And it most certainly was. I mean, this was the view from our room!
The coastline felt like Ireland with the beautiful green grass and cliffs over the ocean! There was even a bagpiper at sunset every evening. Walking along the coast every morning was a definite highlight of the trip.
One day we drove to the local redwood forest to go hiking which was so, so beautiful. Then we drove down to Thomas Fogarty Winery for fabulous wine tasting. Bonus- guests of the Ritz Carlton receive complimentary wine tasting here!
We sure did eat good in Half Moon Bay. Some of our favorites were Sam’s Chowder House for beautiful views and awesome clam chowder, It’s Italia for delicious thin crust pizza, and Cetrella for a yummy dinner with live music. We also loved the firepits at the Ritz Carlton for wine and s’mores!
This would be a perfect place to stay for a honeymoon with other stops along the California coast. And even better- clients of Ever After Honeymoons receive breakfast daily and an $85 spa credit! Contact us to help with your visit!
Think culture, wine, and copious cuisine. Cape Town is robust with everything leisure. Its rich history serves up a multi-cultural ancestry offering a taste the world on your honeymoon. Choose from Greek, Portuguese to Korean delights (and that’s just to name a few). Go ahead and spend your afternoons frolicking about the Cape Winelands, upon the gorgeous beaches, or exploring the National Forest. There’s really so much to do!
If you choose Cape Town I’d love to send you to Kensington Place to enjoy the views of Table Mountain. This luxury boutique hotel is placed just close enough to it all, but offers a more secluded and romantic vibe good enough for any newlywed. I continue to send my clients there time and time again, and everyone returns raving about how much they loved this hotel.
