Real Honeymoon Stories - Total Disasters
Things don’t always happen as we expect and sometimes they can turn into real nightmares; stories you read about and hope don’t happen to you. Here are some real-life horror stories of honeymoons gone completely wrong.
Overbooking Nightmare: Wyndham Sugar Bay Beach Club & Spa
We booked our all-inclusive honeymoon in February for our June stay. We were horrified at time of check-in that this 4-star resort had overbooked and had no room for us. They overbooked a corporate flooring company and gave away our room to them. I was in tears and they failed to show any sympathy or care that they had ruined our honeymoon. They laughed and mocked us while we waited for the resort manager that never showed his face. After several attempts to speak to the resort manager I realized it was a lost cause. The only alternative they gave us was a downgrade to a Holiday Inn in downtown St. Thomas, 30 minutes away from the all-inclusive resort that we had paid for. We were told that we could check into the Wyndham Sugar Bay on Saturday evening, which meant we only got to stay at the resort for less than half our honeymoon.
When we finally checked in, we found that all the amenities that were included in our package were utilized by the corporate flooring company, who occupied over 150 rooms at the hotel. We had a very hard time getting reservations to the restaurants at the resort and could only utilize the pool one day because it was over occupied. I spent 3 of the 4 days of our honeymoon upset and disappointed over the outcome. We were not the only ones affected by this overbooking. There were 3 wedding parties that had booked their weddings at this resort that were downgraded to other hotels and split from their wedding parties all over the island, including brides and grooms. I would not recommend this privately owned resort to anyone let alone honeymooners. St. Thomas is a beautiful island and I feel that we didn't get the chance to see and do all that we wanted to. I would definitely recommend a different resort and to see if they accommodate honeymooners. This resort definitely DID NOT! Honeymooners from Lake Worth, Florida.
