When planning a tropical vacation or holiday, the Maldives is often at the very top of a list of possible destinations. With that, over the years, what was first viewed as a destination suitable solely for romantic couples, destination weddings or honeymoons, has now become a paradise for all types of traveling groups, including those with children under the ‘adult’ age required in some overwater rooms.

Even though more children are accompanying their parents on vacations, it doesn’t mean that all resorts will cater to the young travelers, especially if there are 2 or more in tow.

Once you start planning your overwater bungalow vacation, you’ll find out rather quickly that there are several different islands to choose from. The most popular however, seem to be the islands that make up the South Pacific. In this tropical region, visitors will find tropical getaways that feel like they are straight out of a movie.

Unfortunately though, many people view the South Pacific as just a dream, due to the cost of traveling to and from, as well as the resorts themselves.

There are many different things to consider when searching for your dream resort. First you’ll want to take a look at the resort itself and find out what is offered with each stay. Does the resort have a public pool? Does it have spa? Are there numerous land or water activities to choose from? Are there dining options available throughout your stay that have good reviews from past guests? Then you’ll want to take a look at the room options available and depending on what you’re looking for, you’ll should find room choices that fit your dream.

Puerto Rico is an easy to reach tropical location that’s also an extremely popular choice for those seeking a bit of fun in the sun, throughout the entire year, and even year after year. Because of this, there are lots of travelers who wonder if there are any overwater resorts to choose from. Though we wish we could say differently, Puerto Rico is not yet an overwater bungalow destination, but thankfully there are islands nearby that are.

When you read the weather information gathered down below, you’ll notice that the weather within the Maldives tends to be nearly identical throughout, with the month not really meaning much. The days in this region tend to be on the warm side and at least, what most would consider, somewhat humid. The nights here are known for being both reasonably warm and a bit on the balmy side.

Unlike most of other tropical destinations, the Maldives is unique in that it has two different “monsoon seasons” each year.

Overwater resorts now exist around the world with each offering their guests a little something different and unique. Not only does each resort offer slightly different amenities and views, but also charmingly decorated rooms with their own key features. Though many feature large 4-poster beds or a fully stocked mini bar, there are other resorts that take their overwater rooms to the next level. Impressing guests time and time again, these resorts use glass floors to gain interest.

So you’ve decided to book one of Sandals’ amazing Caribbean overwater bungalows? Congratulations on being ready to book a romantic trip of a lifetime! As of 2019 Sandals has three excellent resorts that offer overwater bungalows and each is quite different so it’s important to choose the one that fits your needs the best.

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit all three Sandals overwater bungalows resorts and tour the bungalows as well, so I thought it would be helpful to discuss the pros and cons of each of them to help people decide with confidence.

When you began researching both pricing and the popularity of a certain region, you’ll find that for the tropical Maldives, the high season for resort prices generally runs from December into April, with December and January standing in as the busiest months. This is because most Europeans take their winter break during this time period. The rest of the year is considered to be the “low season” for Maldives resorts, even though the Maldives weather is pretty much exactly the same the whole year round and therefore there is no best month to go to the Maldives in terms of climate.

The U.S. state of Hawaii is home to a very large amount of great accommodation options, from those that rest right on the beach to those situated a bit farther back. With that said, however, you won’t find any overwater resorts on any of the islands here. If they could be built on Hawaii’s shores, there would be dozens to choose from.

However, with this bad news does come a bit of good news.

When many of us think of a tropical winter vacation, we immediately think of Mexico, so it’s no wonder that quite a few people hope to find overwater bungalows in the country. There’s a bit of good news here as there are two resorts in Mexico that feature overwater villas, one of which is considered all-inclusive.

The problem is that overwater bungalows, or water villas, as they are called in many parts of the world, can only be built over still water.
