Once couples get engaged, they jet off to exotic destinations that look like a travel magazine come to life. For Season 1, it was the Grand Reserve at Paradisus in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Absolutely stunning—turquoise water, white sand, and a whole lot of awkward silence from couples who just met.
Where Was Love Is Blind Season 5 Filmed? Details
Season 2 and 3 used the Serena del Mar resort in Cartagena, Colombia. This place is so fancy that the show’s budget must have come from selling a kidney. The resort has private pools, hammocks, and bartenders who probably whisper prayers for the couples’ doomed relationships.
But here’s the twist: the couples don’t actually live there the whole time. They’re shuffled between hotel rooms and production suites, often filming 16-hour days. So while you’re seeing them sipping margaritas under a sunset, they’re actually exhausted, dehydrated, and plotting their next dramatic breakup.
The Real Honeymoon Drama
The weather is not always perfect. In Mexico, humidity hits 90%, and the makeup artists have to reapply foundation every ten minutes. In Colombia, it rains for two hours every afternoon—making those “romantic walks on the beach” look like a soggy, mosquito-filled nightmare.
And the bugs? Oh, the bugs. Contestants have complained about sand fleas, giant cockroaches, and mosquitoes the size of small birds. One contestant from Season 2 said she cried because a beetle crawled into her hair during a romantic dinner. That’s the real love story.
Also, the food is overpriced and underwhelming. You think they’re eating gourmet tacos? Nope—it’s mostly unseasoned chicken and sad salads, because production doesn’t want them to get bloated before a bikini scene. Romance is dead, folks.
