If you are interested to save money in your honeymoon in Florida, what follows below will give you some guideline, please take into account that it is an example.. The total honeymoon package in Florida costs vary according to your needs. We choose as honeymoon destination, Siesta Key, located in Sarasota. Why?

A. Hotel:
First, we have to find a place to stay. I searched apartments to rent for seven days close Siesta Public Beach, I thought: “Generally apartments are cheaper than hotels”, This is not 100% true, there is not enough difference between rent an apartment and stay in a hotel. (because we are two, next time when you will back with your family, apartments are cheaper than Hotels)
- A.2. We chose Holiday In Express Siesta Key hotel for our example.
- The hotel has a very good rating on travelocty.com.
- The hotel is not so far from Beach.
- The hotel is close to different attractions and activities.
- The hotel has FREE Deluxe Continental Breakfast.
- More Hotel Photos

Holiday Inn Express Siesta Key is a three star hotel located seven minutes by car of Siesta Beach (as close hotels are from Siesta Beach, increase the price). At the moment to write this guide, room rates start at $100 per night. Of course there are large vary of cheap honeymoon and romantic hotels in Sarasota, but they are so far from beach and you will spend more than 25 minutes by car to arrive.
B. Rent a Car:
Rent an economy car (Chevy Aveo, Hyundai Accent or similar) averages cost $180 per week , But as we want to save money, how about rent an used car? Renting an used car can cost $89 per week (a compact 1999-2002 cavalier or similar), wow we are saving around $100!
