Home Away From Home: Grand Hotel Esplanade Berlin

CasaSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:15:27 -0700

If a rustic beach honeymoon isn't your idea of a good time then prepare to be pampered at Berlin's Grand Hotel Esplanade.

Situated in downtown Berlin, this stunning hotel was renovated in 2006, and is a top destination for honeymooners. Hotel accommodations include four different restaurants, bars, and lounges, a beauty salon, pool, sauna, and solarium, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and even a private yacht, the MS Esplanade.

To find out about the hotel's Deluxe Suites and to see a gallery of photos, read more.

If you want to go all out, book one of the hotel's 38 Deluxe Suites. Each of these customized suites are individually named and decorated, ranging in style from art deco to the Far East. The largest room available is the 1,872-square-foot Panorama Suite (um, about 600 square feet larger than my house). The Panorama Suite includes two bedrooms, a living room with an expansive entertainment area, a sauna, kitchen, and fireplace, as well as a views over the nearby Tiergarten, the world's largest inner-city park.

If and when you tire of your luxurious suite, downtown Berlin is just steps from the hotel, where you can take in the city's diverse and sophisticated culture, nightlife, and shopping. If you're a lover of all that is urban and sophisticated then the Grand Hotel Esplanade may be the perfect honeymoon for you and your new spouse.

Home Away From Home: Maya Tulum

CasaSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:15:20 -0700

I can't think of a better way to relax after an activities-filled wedding week than by honeymooning on the beach. If this type of mellow, back-to-nature adventure sounds like your type of vacation, then head to Tulum, Mexico, to stay at Maya Tulum Resort.

This resort features cabanas that are right on the beach, though you'll have to be prepared for a walk on the rustic side. Maya Tulum is bordered by the ocean on one side and the jungle on the other, and relies on a generator for electricity; thus, it's recommended that you leave hair driers and extraneous plug-in appliances at home, and just enjoy the setting (even if your hair's a little frizzy). You and your honey will sleep inside one of Maya Talum's simple, chic, thatched-roofed cabanas, whose beds' mosquito netting enhances both the comfort level and the romance. Each cabana features a sitting area and a tiled bathroom with an open shower area. You can pick from beachfront, garden, or ocean-view cabanas.

To find out more about this resort including a full gallery of photos, read more.
Guests can take their meals in the resort's restaurant, a round cabana built with marble floors, limestone views, and a stunning view of the Caribbean Sea. The healthy cuisine features mostly vegetarian and fresh seafood. You can pop in anytime for a smoothie, drink, or snack.

Located on the Riviera Maya, the resort offers guests a range of beach activities, from simply reading a favorite book in a shaded hammock to exploring lagoons and water springs. When you tire of lolling on the beach, consider an eco adventure tour, where you can snorkel, visit ruins, or even go caving.

For the adventurous, nature-loving couple, Maya Tulum is indeed a natural choice for your post-wedding vacation bliss.

Saddest Honeymoon Suite Ever

GiggleSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:02:00 -0700

And by "saddest" I mean unredeemably tacky. It looks like a gigantic bubblegum bubble exploded all over the hot tub (above), and as a general rule, acrylic plaid bedspreads don't tend to get anyone in the mood. If I ever get married, I'm saving up for an upgrade...from motel to hotel.
