Review Guide Releases their Latest Poll on Romance and Honeymoons

Picking the right hotel and booking a romantic room are important to creating the best ambiance for honeymoons. Amenities that can perk up the honeymoon include: a king size bed, whirlpool bath, DVD/CD player, bathrobes and a plunge pool.

A romantic bath for two is a wonderful way to spend intimate time together during the honeymoon. Many resorts offer oversize tubs or whirlpool baths for this purpose. Many hotels can also save rooms with the best views for newlyweds.

The honeymoon planning website found that only 25% considered their stay "passionately romantic". Ensuring a romantic honeymoon appears to be related to good planning and using credentialed and experienced professional travel agents.

According to McKenzie, honeymooners should "First and foremost let the Hotel, Resort, Cruise line, etc. know that you are on your honeymoon. Use a qualified travel specialist because in the long run, they will save you time, money, and avoid a honeymoon disaster."

Additional advice based upon their expertise are the following: "Arrange for a room with a King size bed; A Whirlpool bath; DVD player/CD player; A Minibar; A Safe is essential and Air Conditioning unless you are in the mountains or directly on the beach with a good breeze in the proper season."

Romantic settings, a love-nest room with a Jacuzzi, meals in bed, or on a private patio or cabana, breathtaking sunsets and moonlit strolls on the beach don't just happen according to Michelle McKenzie. She says that "weddings take a large toll of time and resources for couples, and often they neglect the importance of planning well for the honeymoon."

Added features like Bathrobes, oversize tubs, a whirlpool bath or a plunge pool seem to enhance the honeymoon experiences of those rating their stays the highest. Laverne Haller, VP of Honeymooner's Review Guide adds, "Spice it up and personalize it. Bring candles or incense, especially that have aphrodisiac scents, to create a romantic mood. In addition, this is a great idea in case the room has an odor. You can bring silk scarves to place over lamps in the room for a touch of romance. Add a 'Just Married' door hanger or Mr. & Mrs. Pillow cases can be a fun addition." For additional ideas and tips, she suggests going to their romantic honeymoon tips.

2700 couples planning their honeymoons as of November 2007, state that the perfect honeymoon consists of both practical and dreamy visions. Price and Location are utmost on their minds with 61% desiring a Tropical location with the Caribbean topping out at 42% while 17% were dreaming of a Mediterranean setting. Hawaii, Fiji, French Polynesia, and Europe top the list for most, with 68% choosing these destinations and Hawaii leading with 19% squeaking out Fiji at 18%.

McKenzie states that, "The most important steps to a successful honeymoon start with careful honeymoon planning as provided on the website, using a certified and/or experienced honeymoon specialist travel agent, and being sure that you know how to book a romantic honeymoon room."
