Romantic getaway weekends are popular ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

 

Don’t have the time, money or flexibility to jet off to Paris for a romantic Valentine’s Day weekend? Well, we can’t all be Brad and Angelina.

Even without the Champs-Élysées or the Eiffel tower, you can still plan a lovely Valentine's Day vacation by choosing a weekend getaway.

In a recent survey of more than 1,000 Americans by Hilton Hotels Corporation, people were asked the idea of the ideal Valentine's Day gift. An overwhelming 89 percent responded "vacation trips." If you agree there's nothing as romantic as a night spent in a special place to celebrate Valentine's Day, check out some extraordinary Valentine's Day packages for lovers.

Whether you're a married couple, a pair of honeymooners, a new boyfriend and girlfriend, or about to become engaged, you could find magic and excitement awaiting you this Valentine's Day.

For example, at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, the popular Romance Package is ideal for couples who want to treat themselves to a luxurious romantic retreat. The package includes deluxe accommodations, a bottle of champagne and specialty chocolates upon arrival, the signature ritual bath and a soothing massage at the renowned Spa Palazzo and daily continental breakfast at the Cathedral Dining Room.

You can also choose to stay in bed and have breakfast served in your room. The Resort’s Spa also offers couples massage.

Other interesting Valentine’s Day packages include a stay at the luxurious Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pa., where chocolate is not just a treat to eat.


Hershey Kisses


A whirlpool soaking tub with whipped cocoa bath, a chocolate mud hydrotherapy or a Hershey rain shower are just a few of the sweet treat chocolate choices available at the Spa at the Hershey-themed resort. Of course there will be “kisses” on your pillow.

Fantasy Inn in Lake Tahoe, Calif., offers romantic couples a trip back to the times of Romeo and Juliet or Antony and Cleopatra with 15 different themed suites. Every room comes complete with in-room whirlpool spa for two.

Also noted in the Hilton Hotels Survey, 86 percent of couples chose "special dinners" as the perfect way to spend Valentine's Day. If love is on your menu, you can easily incorporate well-known aphrodisiacs such as oysters, onions, caviar and champagne-- viewed as the “drink of love,” into your Valentine’s Day dinner.

Looking for Valentine’s Day dessert ideas? Think chocolate, as in chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate truffles, chocolate fondue and chocolate heart-shaped cookies.

Every year on Feb. 14, chocolate, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones in on Valentine’s Day. This year, a romantic getaway may be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for both of you.
