Vacations with Karisma

No, that's not a typo; Karisma is the parent company of laid-back, luxurious, (and childfree!) honeymoon all-inclusives on Mexico's Riviera Maya, just south of Cancun.

With amenities such as a man-made lazy river that flows outside your door... double Jacuzzis indoors and private showers under the stars... and a thatched hut above the beach for couples massages, honeymoon lovers and other romantics may find this trio of resorts appealing. First-hand reports follow:

• El Dorado Maroma - the newest and most intimate property, opened in 2007
• El Dorado Casitas Royale - AAA Four Diamond Award winner
• El Dorado Seaside Suites - features 15 spa treatments just for couples

Rates at El Dorado Casitas Royale begin at $327 per person, per night and include meals. Couples who book a four-night stay between now and May 8, 2008 get the last night free. To budget the entire trip, price a flight to Cancun on Kayak.
