After the stress of planning a wedding, along with entertaining and greeting your guests when the big day arrives, the honeymoon is a time to relax. Therefore, as long as it’s attainable, you should make the trip as luxurious as possible. Even couples who prefer an adventurous trip as opposed to lounging on the beach or by the pool can still make sure that the accommodations make them feel like royalty. One way to accomplish this is by choosing to stay at a property with a luxury concierge service or personalized butler.

If you have never stayed at a resort with these offerings, you may be wondering what it would even mean to have the assistance of a concierge or butler while staying at a luxury hotel. Movies and television likely make the concept of a butler at home seem fairly familiar, and some hotels have them available too! In fact, the service is seen in Maid in Manhattan, as Jennifer Lopez’s character undergoes training for the butler program. They can help with unpacking your luggage, prepare the room to your comfort level, and even draw a romantic bath! All-inclusive resorts often feature butler services not just in your room, but also by the pool. You’ll never have to worry about getting a fresh drink or towel. 

Both butlers and concierges can help you outside your onsite accommodations as well. With their assistance, you may find yourself with reservations at top restaurants in the area and access to all the best events and activities. One of the main benefits of working with a butler or concierge is the time saved. Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and you want to be able to spend it all with your new spouse, not dealing with errands. Some luxury resorts also offer a guest experience manager that offers personalized activity recommendations throughout your stay.

While you should strongly consider booking a property that has a butler or concierge service for your honeymoon, it’s important to do your research first. Different resorts and properties will offer different benefits, so you’ll want to make sure you choose something that will add value to your experience.
