Mexico Honeymoon Resorts
Mexico is where the American destination wedding and the honeymoon are often the same trip, since a civil ceremony here is straightforward enough that couples marry on Thursday and start the honeymoon proper on Friday, at the same resort. Los Cabos, the Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta hold the deepest bench. We look at what a resort's honeymoon suite actually adds over a standard ocean-view room, whether the private cenote or rooftop dinner for two comes with the honeymoon package or gets billed separately, how firmly an adults-only claim holds up when a wedding party of forty checks in the same week, and the drive time from the airport, since four hours each way eats a real chunk of a short trip.
