Is Cheyenne Mountain Resort a good honeymoon pick?
Yes — Cheyenne Mountain Resort can be a very good honeymoon pick if you want a mix of on-property recreation, mountain and lake scenery, and spa time. It suits couples who like outdoors activity (golf, pools, lake paddling) plus restaurants and a full-service spa; it’s less focused on adults-only seclusion except for a seasonal 21+ pool.
