While the custom of taking a honeymoon has been around since the 5th Century—and the tradition of observing this getaway was greatly dependent upon drinking enough mead (a fermented alcoholic drink made with honey) to conceive a child, the post-wedding getaway no longer requires an extended alcohol binge! Honeymoon trends have evolved over time, and the past century has been especially interesting:
- During the 1920’s, couples chose urban hotels or seaside resorts for their getaways
- By the 1930’s, Niagara Falls had become mecca for newlyweds
- As the 1940’s arrived, brides and grooms expressed interest in incorporating outdoor activities
- By 1950, overseas honeymoons via elegant steamships were all the rage
- As the 1960s dawned, couples wanted stays at resorts with heart-shaped bathtubs
- By 1980, tropical island honeymoons were hot, enabled by more affordable airline costs
- As the 1990’s approached, seaside resorts offering snorkeling, sailing, and beaches were all the rage
- More recently, couples sought exotic places with all-inclusive packages that took the work out of decision making!
What do all of these eras have in common?
They each rely upon water to enhance honeymoon stays (yes, those heart-shaped tubs count!), and island getaways still top wish lists. Thanks to North America’s proximity to Belize, couples craving romantic escapes realized that this nation had it all. Is one island more romantic than other Belizean isles? You bet. Honeymooners prefer Manta Island Resort, a tropical paradise on Glover’s Reef Atoll, above other private islands.
Prepare to put this haven at the top of your destination list, too. The atoll’s history is filled with tales of dashing pirates who called this chunk of coral their home; thus, when Manta was ultimately developed as a unique destination, designers and artisans were inspired by this lore in concert with the lush landscape. Buoyed by reviews from travel authorities like Tripadvisor Travelers, Manta Island Resort has it all—which is why it was named one of the “Hottest New Hotels in the World” the day it opened.
Guests love to tap the Belize All Inclusive Package as they discover the ideal balance of relaxation and adventure. Newlyweds love the gourmet meals and lush accommodations, marveling at the tour menu that includes Maya ruins, jungles, forests, aquatic pursuits, plus onsite activities for couples with no desire to leave the premises.
Extras turn an ordinary Manta honeymoon into an extraordinary one
Designed to attract couples eager to customize their honeymoon stay, Manta offers couples an affordable Honeymoon and Romance Add-On, and if you’d like to further trim your budget, inquire about the current special that could reduce your package by $90 per night—enough to cover that add-on with your cabana stay of 4-days or more. These are but two of the wedding gifts you both receive from Manta Island Resort, where neither of you will need a bottle of mead to make it the single most memorable occasion of your lives!
