Most newlywed couples look forward to their honeymoon. Finally, after months of busy wedding planning, they get to spend uninterrupted time together to celebrate their marriage. 
But while many honeymoons are unforgettable, some go the opposite way. Arguments, excessive drinking, embarrassing mishaps, and questionable decisions can turn a supposed romantic escape into moments the people involved would rather keep to themselves. 
Unfortunately for them, employees at their chosen romantic getaway destination may also witness their (mis)adventures and share those stories online. These accounts are both pleasant and otherwise, so be ready for quite a reading experience.

A close-up view of a classic blue sports car parked outside a resort.
I live on Maui and worked for a while at Enterprise (car rental.) Once I already had a new job lined up, I could get away with anything. This newlywed couple had an economy car reservation and wanted to upgrade to a Mustang Convertible. It was supposed to be an EXTRA $100 PER DAY, which the guy could obviously not afford based on the look on his face when I told him. but I gave it to them anyway for free because there was sand in the front seat that I didn't feel like vacuuming. they jumped up and down and hugged me and said I made their honeymoon. the feels.

A happy young couple relaxing together on a outdoor hammock.
We went to the Caribbean for our honeymoon (it was awesome, we want to go back).

Our villa had a hammock strung between the handrails. We were laying in the hammock together reading books (there was a tropical storm for the first couple days), the darn thing broke and dropped us on the ground.

We had to go in and tell the front desk/reception that it was broken and ask that it be fixed. With the look they gave us, I'm absolutely positive they did not believe we were just laying in it reading a book. My wife kept turning red, I was having a hard time not laughing.

Handcuffed hands behind a man back representing outrageous things newlyweds did near resort workers
I work at a hotel restaurant. One day we hosted a wedding reception for a young couple who paid for an open bar. The party was a blast. People got drunk and had tons of fun. Around 2am the bride and groom and their closest friends finally left the restaurant to go to back to their room. Apparently they decided to all hang out in a room for while and continue the party. From what I heard, at some point the maid of honor called the bride a lesbian, and the groom socked said maid in the face! She ran, screaming to the front desk and called the police. The groom was arrested and taken to jail on his wedding night for attacking the maid of honor!

1 year later the couple returned to the restaurant for their anniversary. They were super cool and seemed really happy.

A resort worker preparing local food dishes at a outdoor counter
I'm currently on my honeymoon in Delhi, India, we are from Northern Ireland so not used to the diet. My new wife just vomited at the side of the road, and it's my birthday.

Edit
Thanks for all the interest in my wife's digestive system, the advice is very much appreciated.

I'll just add that on relaying the info to my wife she is extremely confused about what reddit is and why you people are talking to me.

Happy newlyweds enjoying coffee and treats during their stay at a honeymoon resort.
The honeymoon suites were always the worst. There was never a real best.

I guess the best of the worst was the room with the chocolate. The shower and jacuzzi were covered in it. Cleaning it was awful, but the chocolate backside print impossibly high up on the shower wall was pretty impressive.

Not really a hotel worker so this probably doesn't count. So I work part time at a movie theatre and I was working the late shift on valentines day. There was a new love movie that came out (Endless Love I think) but since it was late, nobody was in the theatre. Or so I thought. See, we're supposed to go around and check on theatres every once in a while just to make sure nobody's too loud and everything is working properly. So I went in, like usual, and lo and behold, there was a young couple f*****g in the back. They were really going at it. I decided that I had two options; leave since they were the only ones in there, or be a d**k. It'd been a long night and I was getting tired so I took the second path. I immediately began clapping and cheering them on like some sort of crazed sports fan. The two lovers then proceeded to jump up and rush to put their clothes back on. It was absolutely hilarious and they looked awkward as s**t when they left. I think I may have lost a customer though, but it was worth it.

Happy couple embracing in a pool after outrageous things newlyweds did during their honeymoon
I frequent a natural hot springs in Alaska that has a high influx of Asian tourists and newlyweds during wintertime. The hot springs create huge steam clouds that make the visibility very low while wading in the waist high water.

Apparently, the newlyweds from Japan (I think) believe that consummating their marriage under the Northern Lights will give them a male child. So, they go to the hot springs in the middle of winter when it's dark outside and make love in the water.

It's really weird to be there, wading around, and accidentally run into a couple of mating Asians in the water.

Newlyweds standing together indoors during a memorable stay at a honeymoon resort.
I live in Las Vegas, and I used to work in one of the major casinos on the strip. One night in one of our clubs during a wedding reception one of my employees let me know that he had heard multiple people in a bathroom stall. The stalls had full doors so you couldn't see feet, but you could definitely hear some debauchery going on. I called security and they ask the people to open the door. Soooo...out comes a groomsman, followed by the bride....followed by the best man....followed by the groom....all half dressed. They proceed to go right back to the reception like nothing ever happened.

Two people talking indoors discussing outrageous things newlyweds did that left resort workers speechless
Not quite honeymoon related but I work in a high end hotel chain, and during the reception, I delivered cake, presents, champagne and robes to the bridal suite.
Having my own key and not expecting anyone in the room, I let myself in to find the mother of the groom and a Groomsman having a little bit of...fun...on their own.
Fair to say I walked out quite quickly.

Newlyweds checking the time while waiting at an outdoor area
One time in the LAX airport, I saw a couple vehemently arguing and making accusations of fault about seat changes, flight plans, etc., all the way up to the boarding pass counter. Then, when they got up to the counter, they explained politely and cheerfully to the flight attendant that they were on their way to their honeymoon and needed to check their seats.

Newlyweds speaking to a friendly receptionist at a hotel front desk.
Got married in Hawaii, staying at a swanky resort, late one afternoon my wife was getting out of the shower, and I had boxers on lying in bed after a long day at the beach, when out of nowhere I hear the front door opening up, I thought it was my wife, and she thought it was me, but in walks a couple with luggage and key card in their hand asking what we are doing in their room... Needless to say, we were upgraded to an ocean front suite for the rest of our stay due to the mess up at the front desk... We were also comped meals for the rest of our stay, and 1/2 our bill was also comped.
TL&DR: Strange couple walks into my hotel room, hotel pays dearly for it lol.

Edit:spelling.

Guests at a honeymoon resort watching a video projection during an evening event
I used to work events at a high end place that did confrences and wedding receptions. To give you an idea, 1-2 year waiting list for wedding receptions and cheapest plan/menu was 300 a head. Plus being a hotel the bride and groom stay in a room on the night

Propositioned so many times

Once every staff member got handed a photo and it a was do not allow to enter and to call security. It was the grooms mother apparently she hated the bride so much they put an AVO out on her. Took 3 police officers to get her into the police car. She bit one of the security staff

A bride so drunk they refused to allow her to sign the marriage certificate. The cerimony and reception went ahead but the marriage officially happened next day when sober

The best and most memorable, the brides father was paying for the reception, groom asked for a few projectors to be setup so that he could play a movie and photo montage of their relationship. Alls going well for 5 minutes until it hits a scene of the bride being pounded by 2 guys, neither of which was the groom. One was the best man, still to this day dunno who the other guy was. During the video the groom had left via a cab

One other time the newlyweds had a cab call to the airport. We rang the room 30 minutes before the cab call as a courtesy, no answer. Manager goes and knocks and no reply, so you he used the house key and theres the couple sleeping, her in the wedding dress and him half in the suit bother covered in vomit.

So many have tried we are honey moon couple please give us freebies.

Close-up of a mosquito biting human skin causing outrage for resort guests
I worked for a Timeshare Company as a Supervisor over the phone (so I got all the escalated calls for those upset owners for whatever reason). And there was this couple that were spending their honeymoon in Aruba. They had it all planned out; they were going to take a nice walk along the beach under the moonlight and go back and just get freaky. Well, the time of year that they got married in, happened to be a very humid time, so there's a lot of bugs out.
I get the call from the bride. She's irate, goes straight to the supervisor. She called in and blamed the timeshare company for the fact that she wasn't able to get undressed in front of her new husband and be intimate with him so that they could convenience their first child together.
All because she happened to get some mosquito bites and she was embarrassed to get undressed in front of him because of those bites. And since the beach was on the resort's property, it was the hotel's fault that she couldn't get undressed and get pregnant.

Edit: I'm leaving my typo because you guys made me smile.:).

I used to work at Yellowstone and the worst story I heard about, which happened a few years before I worked there, was a newlywed couple from Utah who wanted to get a photo near the upper falls. They climbed over the protective railing to get the shot and she fell over. It is discussed in the book, D***h in Yellowstone.

I'm newly wed myself actually. We haven't done the ceremony yet but we did all the legal stuff so it's official. The day we got married we went to this beach cafe/restaurant and there I put on her ring that I had been saving up for. It was a pretty empty restaurant that day because of the weather and I tried to be discreet about it but the staff noticed anyways. About 30 minutes later the entire staff came out and gave me and my wife this big ice cream/cake platter for free and all cheered us. I was beyond surprised and it was the best service I have ever received. If you're ever in Fukuoka I would recommend Stellar Beach Cafe near Fukuma beach.:).

Honeymooner here. During the wedding various women of the family apply a yellow turmeric paste to the bride's skin... so she turns quite yellow. Cleaning off in the shower that night left quite the stain all over the bath tub. I felt bad.

A bartender serving colorful drinks to guests at a resort bar.
I worked as a bartender at a pretty nice hotel. There was a big convention center attached to it with a lot of meeting rooms and a huge ballroom. I wasn't always aware what was going on at the convention center unless the hotel was full for a convention.

It had been a fairly quiet night and I didn't have anyone else sitting at the bar when a guy takes a seat and orders a beer. I got it for him and he looked like he was kind of upset, like something was really weighing on him, but I didn't want to pry. Some people don't always want to talk.

This guy did.

He said, "Aren't bartenders supposed to listen to your problems?"

I say, "Sure man. What do you want to talk about?"

He begins to tell me that he had gotten married that day.They had had their reception next door and were staying the night in the hotel. I congratulate him, but am a bit confused as to why he's sitting here by himself on his wedding night.
He tells me that he's in his 30's and his bride is 26. They had been together at least a year and a half. And she's a virgin. And he's not.

I'm still confused as to why he's not consummating his new marriage, and he then tells me she was so nervous about their "big night" that she drank too much champagne and was in the room, passed out after having gotten sick.

I had to take a second to keep my composure and not chuckle at this poor guy's misfortune because he was obviously really upset about it. He explains that they're taking a flight out tomorrow and then getting on a cruise for their honeymoon.
I did my best to try and reassure and be optimistic for him. I said something about nerves and I was sure that everything would work out for him on the cruise.

He seemed a little better than he was when he first sat down, but he still looked frustrated, and who could blame him? He ordered another beer and went back to his room.

A couple checking in at a resort reception desk with a smiling hotel worker.
I'm a wedding photographer and a groom, recently returned from honeymoon told me the story of how he got his $15,000 honeymoon free of charge. He and his brand new lady wife had just checked in to the honeymoon suite of a palatial island paradise after a long flight from London. Having showered after their journey they retired to the bed to, cough, celebrate their new union.

Once the throes of passion had subsided, the groom tells me he saw the drapes by the window move a little and jumping up, pulled them aside to see a bellhop concealed there - and, you guessed it, having a bit of a twang on the ol' one string bass.

Naturally they complained and the manager, seeking to minimise the damage, fired the employee on the spot and basically traded the full stay in return for them taking the incident no further.

Outrageous newlyweds sitting together at a resort bar during their honeymoon trip
I used to be a bouncer at a night club that was part a a major hotel in San Francisco. People would get married and have their reception in the hotel and then head to the club after. One night a couple 2 hours fresh from the alter and their party was in the club. They are sloshed, but the bride is beyond drunk and causing problems (stumbling into people, being too loud and trying to cross the VIP rope that I'm guarding). Well, she gets across the rope and while I'm trying to persuade to go back to the other side she starts grinding on me and saying "You think you can handle me?" Her husband is about 3 feet away with his jaw on the floor. I asked him to control his wife and he snapped out of his shock. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the club swearing up a storm. I still feel bad for the guy.

A plate of spaghetti with marinara sauce and meatballs ordered by outrageous newlyweds at a honeymoon resort
Worked at a fancy Italian restaurant. The washrooms for the customers were nice. Lots of room, especially in the handicap stall.

Quietly sneak into the luxury men's room (the staff had their own slum pooproom, hated that place).

The conversation I heard:
"It's so long. Drop it in, drop it in." a man said with glee.
"Are you sure darling? It's really long." a woman said.
"You know I love them long." he replied.

Next I heard a gurgle, then laughing.

"Now the meat ball." he said.
"You want my big, juicy balls?" she replied, trying to sound s**y.

Confused and gagging a bit at the thought of this unusual s*x talk, I didn't see anything until I went into the nearest stall. I carefully stood on the toilet and peeked over the top. At the other end of the room, I saw a woman's hand rise into the air, dangling a spaghetti string. She dropped it, he laughed and wanted more. Eventually she started dropping meatballs. I looked under the stalls and there was spaghetti and meatballs all over the floor at the handicap stall, along with a pile of wedding clothes in one corner.

tl;dr - Spaghetti and meatball washroom facial.
