The Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania are truly a paradise. You can ski, golf and experience adventure sports while enjoying the romantic backdrop of the mountains. With a little planning, a honeymoon to the Poconos does not have to put a dent in your pocketbook. The Poconos are an ideal setting for a honeymoon on a budget.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Flexibility
  • Reservations
  1. Step 1

    Book an all-inclusive package. Call Poconos Best at (800) 805-3559 to find out about package deals to the Poconos. Let them know your honeymoon budget and have them build a package that meets your needs. If you are flexible about your dates, it will be easy to find nice hotels and resorts when honeymooning on a budget in the Poconos.

  2. Step 2

    Stay Sunday through Thursday. Weekend rates in the Poconos are much higher than during the week. You will also find that skiing, canoeing and other activities are much less crowded on weekdays than on weekends.

  3. Step 3

    Consider seeing a timeshare presentation. There are many companies that will give you a two or three night stay in the Poconos, including meals and ski lift tickets, for dirt cheap. However, you must listen to their 90-minute, no obligation timeshare presentation. If you are willing to endure the sales pitch, it could save you hundreds of dollars on your honeymoon.

  4. Step 4

    Choose not to ski. Skiing is probably the biggest expense involved with staying in the Poconos. If you are on a budget, you can decide not to ski, as there are plenty of other things to do as mountain biking, horseback riding, golfing and, of course, relaxing in the spa in front of your fireplace.

  5. Step 5

    Consider using a honeymoon registry. If you are an established couple and do not need many wedding gifts, register for your honeymoon instead. If you utilize a honeymoon registry, your family and friends can contribute to your honeymoon and you will be able to stay within your budget.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep your trip short. Do not stay for more than three or four days.
  • Ask for discounts. When booking a package or talking to travel agents, you should ask for discounts. Many discounts exist that are not publicized.
  • Do not book your honeymoon near any major holidays or on spring break when hotel and resort prices skyrocket.
