Not that excited about Honeymoon :(

That is a bummer, I'm sorry that you don't get to have your dream honeymoon! We used a travel agent to book ours, so I would suggest looking into agents in your area to help out. They typically work for free because they make commission from the resorts. We decided to do that because we were absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of resorts, they were able to help us actually pick out what was important to us & narrow it down. They also had been to most of the resorts so they actually had their own pictures/first hand knowledge and we thought that was helpful. On the bright-side, you guys can save up and have an awesome 5 year anniversary trip or something! You'll have a great time!

Look at the Riviera Maya/Playa del Carmen. It's a little less crazy than Cancun, more secluded. And only like a 45 min drive from the Cancun airport.

Are far as activities, we went to Xel Ha and absolutely loved it. It's a natural waterpark. They have sister parks too that are all different themed. They're just done really well.

I'm so sorry that you feel that way, but many people cannot even afford to go on a honeymoon outside of the US (myself included) so I'd focus on the fact that you are lucky enough to afford such a nice vacation with your FH immediately after the wedding, even if it's not your first choice. Cancun will still be lovely.

I'm so sorry your original plans didn't work out!

The good news is, most things that are popular are popular for a reason. If you know lots of people go to Cancun it's probably because it's amazing! Just remember that the main purpose of your honeymoon is to spend time with your husband and enjoy each other's company! Theoretically, you can do that anywhere. I've never been to Cancun but I have heard that it is beautiful. Try not to overthink the destination and remember why you are there! It will be special regardless of where you are or who else has been there, because it is your honeymoon.

Sorry things didn't go as planned! I know for a fact that there are adult only all-inclusive resorts in Cancun. I will add that you're getting married around spring break time for college students, so be mindful of that when planning if leaving promptly for honeymoon after.

Exactly. My FH and I originally planned to go to Italy for our honeymoon but due to costs and my anxiety about traveling we decided it just wasn't the right time to do such an extravagant trip. We're driving down to Hilton Head, SC now for our honeymoon, super simple, staying in a resort on the beach for 8 nights, probably will do a couple day trips to Charleston and Savannah, GA. I do honestly feel really glad that our honeymoon isn't at an extravagant destination and that it will be amazing and beautiful, but not TOO exciting if that makes sense. It'll allow us to focus more time and energy on each other!

Yes! Do your research for sure. I think nicer resorts would be less likely to be populated with college kids. Also I think there are couple resorts. Might be worth searching for.

At the end of the day you're going to be on a vacation with your new husband so nothing can reaaally fully ruin that.
