Sandals Whitehouse
Enchanted Honeymoons did our destination wedding at Sandals Whitehouse and we were so thrilled. Let me tell you about the resort and the wedding itself. It was so much more than I could have even imagined. The beach is incredible and has the feel of Tahiti or Fiji--it is a long sweeping beach with the bluest water I have ever seen. All the rooms are beachfront which was nice since each of my guests was on different budgets and yet they were all able to get a beachfront room. The restaraunts were amazing and I am pretty sure we ate at each of them. My favorite one was the italian as I am a huge Italian food fan but this was some of the best Italian food I have ever had. I also enjoyed sitting on the beach at the Mexican restaraunt and watching the sunset. The buffet was amazing!
Our room was gorgeous with the most beautiful view of the Caribbean and the beach. The deck was large and there was easily enough room for us to sit out in the morning and have coffee and at night we watched the sun set from the deck several times--very romantic. I loved all the dark wood in the rooms and the decor is all nuetral and gorgeous. The nightly entertainment was really great and we especially enjoyed the theme nights. We also enjoyed the martini bar and the french coffee and dessert restaraunt . All in all I have never seen or been to a more perfect resort.
The wedding was amazing. We chose to be married right on the beach and because the beach is so big, we were able to find a place all by ourselves which made it so special. Even though we had 22 guests with us, it still felt like it was just the two of us during the ceremony. After the ceremony, Sandals did a cake cutting and champagne toast with us and all our guests and then we went to dinner where they accomodated all of us together. The wedding coordinator was wonderful at Sandals Whitehouse and catered to our every need. The flowers were beautiful tropical flowers that looked so pretty against the Caribbean water. The photos of the wedding are better than any I could have even imagined. The photographer shot the whole wedding as well as pictures on the beach and sunset after the wedding. I just really could not have asked for a more perfect wedding and I would highly recommend you work with Enchanted Honeymoons to help you plan the wedding you dream of.

Jamaica
I recently won a trip to Jamaica staying at the Iberostar and it is a great property if you are looking for a quiet property with a great beach. The rooms are all large suites with great balconies. The bathrooms were all marble and very nice. The entertainment at the Iberostar was some of the best I have ever seen. We enjoyed haveing 24 hour room service and each floor has a butler. I really liked this property and would love to tell you about it. Give Grace a call at 402-390-9291
Eldorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico
I was in the Riviera maya last month and stayed at the El Dorado Casita Royale. Let me tell you, if you are looking for luxury and romance, look no further. After arriving in to Cancun we found our private transfers waiting for us outside the airport. The 25 minute ride went quickly as our driver told us all about the area and local happenings.
We arrived at the main lobby where we were greeted by our own personal concierge to bring us to our ptivate check-in. We were then shown to our ocean view casita which was amazing. From the open air shower to the in room jacuzzi and fully stocked mini bar, this room had it all. Our balcony had a daybed and it overlooked a pool and the beach. Each casita block had its own pool and swim up pool bar. With all the pools you can find a quiet one to read a book by or a more active one to party by.
The food here is fantastic and when they call it a "Gourmet Inclusive", they mean it. There are ten gourmet restarurants on site that range from Mexican and Seafood to Asian and French cuisine. With all of the choices you can find whatever you are hungry for or even try something new. The beach was nice and they hve a ton of beach chairs to relax on. Then in the casitas, you also get a beach bed with beach butler service. The staff here was great and they really catered to our every need. This was the perfect resort for a relaxing get away in the sun.

I just returned from an amazing and relaxing week in the Riviera Maya in Mexico. We traveled with three couples and had a great time at the Riu Palace Mexico. The entire staff was great from the moment we stepped in to the lobby, the food was amazing and the property was immaculate and beautiful.
This resort sits on an amazing beach. There are lots of palm trees if you want shade and lots of sun if you prefer that . I enjoyed everything about the beach here, from relazing with a good book, to a long morning walk or using the hobie cats and kayaks. The water here is so blue and crystal clear.
The food a t this resort was fabulous. We mainly ate at the main buffet because there were so many foods to choose from. i really enjoyed the Japanese restaraunt. For lunch there was a fabulous buffet restaraunt, which was easy to get to whether you were at the pool or the beach. the variety of drinks to choose from also was great. There are activities such as volleyball, water aerobics, Spanich lessons and more. Every night there was a show to enjoy after dinner.
This resort is laid out very well. No matter where you are, you are never far from food or drinks. It's walking distance to Playa del Carmen and if you want to spend some time at the other Riu's in the area you can. I would recommend this resort to anyone.

Beaches Turks and Caicos
Attending the Star Awards (for Sandals and Beaches) in The Turks and Caicos last week was such an amazing trip. The beach is gorgeous and the resort is incredible. There are 13 restaraunts--including a 50's diner, a French, Italian, Asian, and International restaraunt as well as a Pub that felt like you were in London with excellent fish and chips and shephards pie. The food was great at every one of the restaraunts. I really loved our room which was a two-room suite and had a huge balcony. The water in the Turks is some of the bluest if not the bluest I have ever seen. It is also crystal clear so that you can see clear down to the ocean floor. We took a catamaran over to Iguana island where you can collect seashells and feel as if you have the entire ocean to yourselves. The catamaran trip was on the Kitty Kat Catamaran and I highly recommend it. We really loved Beaches Turks and Caicos and can not wait to get back as soon as possible.

Riu Palace Mexico in the Riviera Maya, Mexico
I just got back from the Riu Palace Mexico and what a great experience. It is such a beautiful property with the courtyard fountains and the amazing beach. I love sitting outside and having breakfast in the morning and the buffet is wonderful. It's a great family as well as couples resort if you are looking for an upscale property. Walking in to the town of Playa Del Carmen for shopping only takes about 15 minutes. My husband loves to golf and there was a beautiful course right across the street.
One of the days we were there we went to the Tulum Ruins. Our tour guide was awesome. This is an ancient city that is situated next to the Caribbean Sea overlooking an outstanding beach. If you need more information about the RIU properties, give me a call and I would love to help you plan your trip. Call Grace at Enchanted Honeymoons Travel-402-390-9291
