Every bride-to-be dreams of having a magical sky’s-the-limit honeymoon. No matter how much your head (and budget) is telling you to cut back on wedding plans, your heart will always be trying to lead you to splash out for the most amazing getaway you can find. Many a bride is ruled by the mantra: “It’s my special once-in-a-lifetime experience.” That’s why I’m always thrilled to hear about a honeymoon deal that speaks to both my brain and my romantic spirit. The latest great deal I’ve discovered is at the Marquis Los Cabos in Baja California Sur, Mexico. (Savvy readers will note that Mexico has been a popular honeymoon spot for such celebs as Katherine Heigl, LeAnn Rimes, Bachelor Andrew Firestone and quarterback Eli Manning)

First of all, the spectacular 237-suite beachfront resort, nestled in the spot where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, is a picture-perfect setting for an idyllic honeymoon.  The suites feature Bulgari bath amenities, luxurious Frette linens and a spa bathtub. And guests get to enjoy a complimentary breakfast delivered to the room via an en-suite private cubby, so you don’t have to make any exceptions once you hang that Do Not Disturb sign on your door.  But the absolute best part is that starting this month, couples that spend their honeymoon at Marquis Los Cabos will receive two nights’ complimentary accommodation on their first anniversary. The offer also includes the resort’s signature Romantic Bath scented with rose petals and a bottle of champagne. Think of it as buy one honeymoon, get one free! Rates through December 20 start at $440 per night for a junior suite and $920 for a casita. From January 5th to May 31, rates start at $495 per night for a junior suite and $1,030 per night.
