I will be stayin in Atami City for a nite. Is there any thing in particular that it's a must-go?
As i'll be making use of the stay in atami as it's more budget as compared to Hakone. In the day, i'll travel to Hakone. So i would like to know if there's anything in Atami which is not to be missed.

is it advisable to spend 3/4 the day at Hakone .. since there's not much attractions in Atami? I stay at Atami as the accomodation rates are more budget.

Yes, why not. And Lake Ashinoko is only a one hour bus ride away. Note, however, that the bus betwen Atami and Hakone is not covered by the Hakone Free Pass.

Atami was, and is still some degree, a site popular with group tourists. Nowadays not exactly popular among Japanese. If you would like to experience real Japanese hot spring experience, I'd rather recommend smaller hot spring towns. There are hundreds of them in Japan.

Yes, you could also take JR trains to nearby Odawara and Mishima Stations and take a bus or train into Hakone.
I'll be takin JR then, since I've the 7-days pass. How much does the train / bus cost from Odawara station ? And how long will it takes ? I can easily find the bus service to Hakone right ?
For the hot spring places, mind to recommend some .. perhaps in Hakone since i'll be there for 3/4 the day ... Thanks.

Is there any private bath available there ? As it'll be a honeymoon, we would prefer privacy for that :)

Among the baths listed on the before mentioned page, the Rakuyujurin Shizenkan and Yunessun's Mori no yu have private baths. Advance reservations are recommended.

The Rakuyujurin Shizenkan seems to accept only same-day reservations from 10am. The phone number (not sure whether they are able to deal with inquiries in languages other than Japanese): 0460-82-0265 The place is not easy to find, so make sure that you know your way in order to honor your reservation. As for the Mori no yu in Yunessun, description of private baths and phone and fax number can be found here: http://www.yunessun.com/english/mori_no_yu.html
