  • Spark the romance with an Adults-Only break For our first Valentine's Day as a married couple, last year my husband and I planned to enjoy a romantic meal at our favorite restaurant, complete with oysters, champagne and a stunning view of the Atlanta skyline. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be - when the day arrived we were both suffering with the flu! The plans were shelved and our romantic meal turned into a dull evening at home. This Valentine's Day will not be the same! We are taking advantage of the President's Day long weekend and are planning a tropical getaway to an adults-only resort – guaranteed to spark the romance.
    Designed for kids-free time, adults-only resorts and hotels are perfect for an amorous escape with your partner. Minimum age requirements vary by resort, but, in general, 18 is the standard, guaranteeing a child-free zone. Many are all-inclusive, so lodging, meals, activities, taxes and service charges, tips and entertainment are covered in one up-front cost. And whether you're in search of absolute relaxation, silence and tranquility or prefer more lively adult fun, there's an adults-only resort that's perfect for you.
    Choose from adults-only hotels that offer a totally serene environment designed to pamper body, soul and spirit in luxurious surroundings with impeccable service and those that offer a fun-loving, socially interactive escape with activity and fun on tap throughout the day and long into the night, catering to a free-spirited crowd with racy games and contests. So, what's on offer?
  • As a luxurious escape for discriminating adults looking to ignite the passion, The Royal Playa del Carmen, in Mexico's Riviera Maya, has it all. The all-suite accommodation features a double Jacuzzi in every room, pillow menu for the ultimate in comfort and 'Magic Box' for discreet service delivery. The swim-up beachfront suites are perfect for a midnight dip or a moonlight stroll on the beach. Choose from two romance-inspired packages to add to the mood: unwind with an intimate massage on the beach, under a star-studded sky, or enjoy a cozy meal for two on the beach with your every need taken care of by your very own private chef and personal waiter (additional charge for both packages).
  • The luxurious all-inclusive Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun features chic sophistication and lavish personal attention for discerning adults. Le Blanc combines world-class style and comfort with exceptional service and superior facilities. Surround yourself with alluring architecture, magnificent haute cuisine, premium liquors, an extensive wine list (a large selection of international bottles of wine is included), 24-hour room service and a state-of-the-art spa plus unlimited complimentary tours.
  • If you're seeking adult fun, Hedonism II, by SuperClubs in Negril, Jamaica, is for you. This all-inclusive resort is a complete departure from the ordinary that caters entirely to adults who love to play! There's entertainment galore with titillating games, live shows, special theme parties and more, and after all that fun relax on the white sand beach, with it's nude and “prude” areas. Romance is not forgotten though, as couples have plenty of opportunity for intimate and romantic time together as well. Sister resort, Hedonism III, is another option – same free-spirited ambiance, but located in Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s sultry north coast.
  • Or, maybe you prefer bold architectural design and dazzling views – St. Lucia's Jade Mountain should be at the top of your list. Built in harmony with nature and the environment, Jade Mountain consistently wins acclaim and awards for its unique design, complemented by unparalleled views of the Pitons. Stay in one of the exclusive open-wall infinity pool suites (or 'sanctuaries') – perfect for couples seeking an ultra-romantic escape. A romance concierge is available to prepare for your arrival if you wish to surprise your loved one, or even pop the question.
  • And for couples, like us, looking for a great Valentine's deal, there are many options to choose from throughout the Caribbean and Mexico that will add to the romance of the season. For example:
  • Sandals Resorts have introduced a 'With love, from Sandals' offer for stays of 3 nights or more from February 1 – March 15 2010. Their exclusive Valentine's package includes a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, two celebration Waterford crystal champagne flutes, chocolate covered tropical fruits, turn down service with Caribbean–inspired love notes and chocolate kisses, and a 15-minute photo session and keepsake romantic photo.
  • Palace Resorts are offering a 'Romantic Getaway' deal with a $100 spa credit and room upgrade for those traveling between February 5 – 20 2010. Available at the Sun Palace & Aventura Spa Palace in Mexico, couples taking advantage of the promotion will be upgraded from a Superior Deluxe Garden View to an Ocean View at Aventura Spa Palace, and from a Superior Deluxe Garden View to a Junior Suite at Sun Palace. A fabulous room with an en-suite double Jacuzzi and a gloriously relaxing couples massage – what could be more romantic!
  • The 'Pampering Package' from Secrets Resorts & Spas is complimentary when booking a Deluxe Ocean View room for a minimum of 5 nights, where couples enjoy a fruit basket, bottle of sparkling wine, turndown service, slippers and bathrobes as well as a guaranteed king size bed.
  • We definitely won't be repeating last year's Valentine's Day disaster – a romantic adults-only getaway is certain to make this year's one to remember.
