The two easiest honeymoons from St. Louis
Both fly nonstop from STL, and both are sold as air + hotel packages — flights, resort and transfers in one price. That means less to go wrong, less to compare, and better value than piecing it together yourself. It's why we book these more than anything else.
Cancún & the Riviera Maya
The widest choice of adults-only resorts anywhere, a nonstop flight every day of the week, and a short drive from the airport to your room. Overwater bungalows at Palafitos, Secrets and Impression, UNICO, Live Aqua. If you want a beautiful week with almost nothing that can go wrong, this is it.
Punta Cana & Cap Cana
Outstanding value, and home to Secrets Cap Cana — one of the Caribbean's top adults-only addresses. Add Zoëtry's boutique wellness and adults-only Hyatt Zilara, and it punches far above its price.
Whatever kind of couple you are
There's a right honeymoon for every pair. Find yours below — no travel-industry jargon, just the way you'd actually describe your trip.
The honeymoons we book most
Each one opens a focused tool or guide — explore in any order. Most couples come back a few times before they book.
Where should we go?
Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Antigua, Aruba, Costa Rica — plus Italy, Greece and Spain. Ranked by what actually works from St. Louis.
Find your destination →Resort or cruise?
The honest, side-by-side breakdown — cost, effort, romance, and freedom — plus a 30-second decision tool.
Settle the debate →Which resort fits us?
Specific properties, not just brands — adults-only, overwater, wellness and more, with an honest verdict on each.
Explore resorts →Should we cruise?
33 cruise lines rated for honeymoons — adults-only, ultra-luxury, river, and yacht — with who each is really for.
Compare cruise lines →How much will it cost?
Real budgets, not guesses — see exactly what $5k, $10k, and $15k+ actually buy, then price your own trip with the calculator.
Estimate your budget →What's the best season?
Every destination has a peak month and a season to avoid. The explorer labels each card with Best: [month] — so you know when to go before you book.
Compare peak seasons →Fly nonstop from St. Louis
You just got married. The last thing you want the next morning is a connection through Atlanta with your dress in a garment bag. These three beach destinations fly nonstop from STL — and between them they reach nearly every resort on this page.
Cancún & Riviera Maya
Punta Cana
Puerto Vallarta
Nonstop service is available seasonally or on select dates and is published by ALG Vacations®. Schedules change year to year, so Neal verifies live days, dates and fares for your exact wedding dates before you book. Charter flights are operated by ALG Vacations Corp. See the current ALG nonstop flight schedule.
Not flying from St. Louis? Neal books from any US airport — these are simply the routes that make life easiest for local couples.
One honest caveat: Cancún and Punta Cana sit in Atlantic hurricane season from June through November. Storms are far from guaranteed and prices are lower, but it's the one time of year we'd insist you look at travel insurance before booking.
A planning resource, not a sales pitch.
Most honeymoon "best" lists are pay-to-play. This one isn't. Every resort and cruise here is one Neal has personally researched or booked — and the guidance is the same whether you ever call him or not.
