Perfect Honeymoon Spot

Name the Location 

Many places could earn the tile "perfect honeymoon spot". The most perfect, however, would be anywhere that I'd be able to gaze upon the sweet countenance of my love, and I'd be likely to see a smile

Name the Accommodations 

The most comprehensive response is already contained in the previous answer

What Romantic Touches Do You Like? 

Holding my baby gives me the most romantic touch. A place, however, can do things like: greet guests with a bottle of chilled champagne - or have a trail of rose petals from a doorway to the bedroom

What Adds to the Experience? 

An abundance of activities and/or facilities that are accessible to someone in a wheelchair would make a place more memorable as a perfect honeymoon spot. Alas, such a facility probably doesn't exist

My Review 

First and foremost, I would be able to see the smile (perhaps, even the beginning of a laugh) on my sweetheart's face appear time and time again (on an on-going basis) all throughout the honeymoon. Secondly, as I am confined to a wheelchair, we'd find that the handicap-accessible amenities would be nothing short of awesome! In the third place, as a couple, we haven't been very frequent travelers (we haven't gone many places apart either) therefore even a manufactured review would be a very difficult, if not impossible task to accomplish. So, what I'm doing is: I'm describing what my notion of the ideal honeymoon (albeit, an imaginary honeymoon) is . And finally, my perfect honeymoon would incorporate my response to the third question, (two questions prior to this one); to take my response a little further though, the chilled champagne (being chilled by an ice-bucket which would be on a rolling cart/platter, we would also find two long-stemmed, flute-shaped glasses. The aforementioned trail of rose petals would start at the doorway's threshold and it would lead to the bedroom and end up on the bed, on the pillow, to be more precise. Just beyond a lavishly furnished outdoor lounging area, there'd be an expanse of pristinely white sands around a bevy of palm trees, just beyond that, you'd find the gentle surf of an exquisitely blue, and private beach, a beach where, if we choose, we would be able to suntan, relax, leisurely do some reading, immerse ourselves in the surrounding serene, tranquil, and altogether picturesque scenery, swim , go skinny-dipping, or do whatever we desire at the time. When we get hungry, we'd be able to go to a well-equipped kitchen, where we'd find a sumptuous meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) which we'd already arranged (with a friendly and courteous staff that is only discreetly heard from). We'd then take the meal and enjoy it in festively decorated dining area. If we hadn't already settled on a meal, we could prepare it ourselves. Then, we'd be able to either go to an ornately appointed living room to listen to some smooth jazz music or maybe even thoughtlessly and carelessly watch, (we'd even have the luxury of losing ourselves) in the boob-tube (the television); or, we would have the more enjoyable option of retiring to the rose petal (provided that the rose petals are still there, of course) adorned boudoir where we'd be able to enjoy each other's company or otherwise engage in a stimulating activity of some sort!
