To preface, if it was up to my fiance, our honeymoon would be at his parent's house in Florida.
We are getting married in 2025. I'm looking at either late 2025 or early 2026 for honeymoon (I get 6 days of PTO a year, and am already using 3 of them for my wedding so need to space it out).
The only requirements I have are warm/tropical climate, access to a beach with crystal waters and access to a pool or two. Also, ideally, more of a "social" setting. Something between 5-10 days, $5k max budget. Will be 32F and 35M.
We've briefly discussed utilizing a group tour, but with most of them being 7/8 days, there's not a lot of ability to add on some "us time" at the end.
I'd love to do something like Portugal, Croatia or Greece… But worry it'll be too cold during the time we're looking at (Oct-Feb). Or Hawaii or somewhere in the carribean. All inclusive resorts sound nice, but I worry about feeling "cooped up" and not being able to get out and explore. I thought about a cruise (my very extended family is doing a '25-'26 NYE cruise, but fiance is very against a cruise as a vacation of any sort for multiple reasons… He's never been on one and thinks he'd gain 20lbs from the AYCE buffets)..
So… Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
