Best Places to Honeymoon on a Budget: Nassau, Bahamas
Honeymoons are one of the most romantic vacations you will ever take in your life (at least it should be). A honeymoon is meant to be a time where you and your new spouse can get away from family and the stresses of planning your wedding and enjoy being together. It is the start of your new life.
Honeymoons can be an added stress if you are not careful, as many times they can be quite costly. This post will be my first of ten to help give ideas of luxurious and adventurous vacations for new couples that would be great honeymoons and still keep some green in your pocket.
Why the Bahamas? Gorgeous beaches, exquisite shopping and dining, and not to far off the mainland- it’s only an hour flight from Miami. You’ll love it here. On average the temperature is around 70-80 degrees all year round. For just $1.25 you can take a bus into town and go shopping, tour the pirate museum, walk around the city, or go on a variety of different tours and excursions.
The Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort is a great budget friendly honeymoon spot. Honeymooners can relax on the beach, 
go snorkeling in the crystal clear ocean, or spend time in the whirlpools. The Resort offers a special “Honeymoon in Nassau” package which includes:
Free upgrade to next room type,
Full American Breakfast for two in the resort’s restaurant or through Room Service daily,
Bottle of Sparkling Wine and chocolate amenity on day of arrival,
One dinner for two in the romantic Italian restaurant, Amici,
Fruit and cheese amenity delivered to room on the third day of stay,
and 4pm late checkout on day of departure
*A minimum of a four-night stay is required.
A stay ranges from $350 per night for a traditional king room to $675 per night for a suite, plus resort fees & taxes.
The 694-room Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort offers accommodations featuring a large private balcony or patio. Rooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access, LCD flat-screen televisions and the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper™ Bed – a multi-layered creation adorned with voluptuous down pillows, sensuous cotton sheets and a signature blanket and duvet.
The Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort is 15 minutes from Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport, which is serviced by a number of domestic and international carriers.
The package can be booked online at Sheraton.com/nassauoffers
This beautiful and exotic beach honeymoon would cost you from $1400 to $2700 (plus airfare and food). It really is a gorgeous place. The hotel rooms were romantic even just for the plain king room! The beach is one of the best and has some of the clearest water I had seen, the hotel was beautiful- I would even suggest taking it up a notch and having your whole wedding there!
