It’s overwhelming to choose that perfect location for your honeymoon, wedding anniversary, or a getaway. Aside from selecting a destination that suits both your preferences, the specifics can make it more challenging to choose a romantic paradise. However, you need not sweat the nitty-gritty and ask these three questions to help finalize your decision.
1. Where is the hotel located, and how much are the expenses?
Your budget will help you decide on your destination. You can’t go on a luxurious vacation if you don’t have the means for it. Therefore, find a location that suits your money you are willing to spend, which includes the flight expenses as well.
The hidden ticket strategy can save you some money in booking your flights. Instead of finding a direct one-way trip to your preferred destination, find a flight that has a layover in a nearby airport, and take off from there. A visa for entry translates to additional travel expenses as well. Therefore, opt for a no-visa location if you’re on a tight budget.
Likewise, check the distance from the airport to your destination because long drives entail expensive transportation costs. It will also be inconvenient to travel two hours just to get to the airport for your return trip.
Also, keep your passport with you at all times because it serves as proper identification anywhere you go. Finally, check the fine print about the applicable taxes in that country so that you won’t get shocked by the high prices.
2. How close is the hotel to the beach?
This is important if you are both beach lovers and your hotel may claim that it is just a few minutes away from the coast. Instead, check Google Maps or any navigational device to determine whether or not their claim is accurate. If you are going to book your hotel once you arrive, check for resorts that are close to the beach for easier access.
Aside from its proximity, choose a beach that offers several water-related escapades like snorkeling and diving. Determine as well if the spots for these activities have easy access because some of them may entail climbing down a flight of stairs off a cliff. Likewise, ask if they have secluded areas for more intimate moments with your partner without the noisy crowd.
3. How is the hotel’s service?
It helps to check reviews from customers who have been to a particular hotel before. They can give honest assessments on whether or not the hotel is worth the stay in terms of customer service. However, you must discern through these reviews because some customers can give unjust low remarks.
Instead, check the hotel’s fine print to determine the inclusions or contact them to ask details about their amenities. It also pays to read comments on the hotel’s cleanliness, staff demeanor, and responsiveness to requests in deciding on your hotel. Unwelcoming staff and slow service may lead you to reconsider staying in that accommodation.
That way, you will not get frustrated when they do not have a butler or a specific beer that you prefer. Set your expectations on customer service based on the amount you paid. You’ll get more benefits and top-notch service for more expensive locations. Finally, tip your service personnel if they deserve it.
