When it’s time to cut loose, fun-seekers tend to head to Cabo San Lucas and Cancún, Mexico. But, for couples seeking a peaceful island honeymoon packed with adventure, Cozumel is the civilized solution.

Setting it apart from its mainland Mexican counterparts, Cozumel boasts photo-op worthy sunsets, privacy and some of the best diving reefs in the world. ]]> globetrotting gourmet 2009-07-28T17:29:27-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/15/131114/668 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/murmuribarcelona.jpg" class="top"> <p>Our pals over at Brides.com have a knack for picking out the loveliest and the smartest hotels for your wedding-related celebrations &#151; from the ceremony to the reception to the afterparty &#151; and this year, with the economy in mind, they've hand-selected a few destinations that get you the most bang (hehehe) for your buck on your honeymoon with the help of travel gurus <a href="http://www.mrandmrssmith.com/">Mr. and Mrs. Smith</a>. <p>Some highlights from the <a href="http://www.brides.com/honeymoons/feature/slide/193460#slide_193462">Top 10 Cheap-Chic Honeymoons </a>List they put together: <p>&#183; Jetting to the <b>Rodwell House</b> in South Africa can be worth it &#151; go all the way there and be rewarded with room rates as low as $168. <p>&#183; Or just keep it simple Jenna 2009-06-17T17:31:33-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/15/101759/933 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/fergiejoshreethi2.jpg" class="top"><p> Fergie (aka Stacy Ferguson) and Josh Duhamel finally got around to tying the knot last weekend in Malibu and the newlyweds are now reportedly at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/One+Only+Maldives+Reethi+Rah/ian/229317"><b>Reethi Rah One and Only Hotel</b></a> in the Maldives.
