Boutique
Hotels
 Small,
intimate hotels appeal to many lovers. Boutique hotels are one-of-a-kind
properties that emphasize lots of personal attention, plenty of
special touches ranging from unique baths (like Anse Chastanet's
three-walled open-air showers) to guest rooms which are each unique
(like Cancun's Baccara).
The advantage of a
boutique hotel are:
- plenty of personalized
attention. The staff will often known you by name within hours
of arrival.
- The chance to feel
like a name, not a room number.
- A one-of-a-kind
stay, different from any other hotel where the two of you may
have stayed before (either together or with previous partners.)
- Plenty of ways
to personalize your trip. You won't be limited to packages--if
you'd like something, ask for it and it can often be arranged,
whether that means petals on your bed, a special dish, or dinner
for two on the beach.
The disadvantages
of a boutique hotel are:
- Room prices will
generally be higher than those found at more mainstream properties.
- Some couples might
feel boutique hotels are a little too small, with the same people
around the pool, the same staff members, etc.
- On-site dining
and entertainment options can be limited.
