11302007: Two Caribbean Valentine's Day Packages for Galley Bay and Palm Island

We've said it before and we'll say it again: if you're considering a Valentine's getaway, it's not too early to start making those plans! This holds doubly true if your getaway is in the Caribbean, which is at its peak of high season during Valentine's so there's a lot of demand for hotels and for air to the islands.

We've just received word of two new Valentine's packages at Elite Island Resorts. The specially-priced, romance-focused programs are exclusively available at its two upscale adults-only, Caribbean resorts: Galley Bay and Palm Island. Both resorts are known for their idyllic seclusion and Caribbean charm.

The Packages: "Romance & Privacy" packages are available from February 1-29, 2008, and include:

-- A five-night all-inclusive stay at Galley Bay, priced at $1,999 per person, and features a romantic champagne sunset cruise; an evening of in-room privacy gift basket with candles, rose petals and aromatic bath oils; two massages (one each) with trained masseuse; and two matching Galley Bay bath robes.

-- A seven-night, all-inclusive stay at Palm Island, priced at $2,688 per person, and features a Beachfront Room; a picnic lunch with wine on a private beach; a romantic champagne sunset cruise; a candle lit dinner served on the beach or in room; and two matching Palm Island bath robes, as well as inter-island flights between Barbados and Union.

These all-inclusive rates are per person, double occupancy, with all meals, beverages, non motorized water sports, hotel taxes and service charges included.

The Resorts: Located on the west coast of Antigua, Galley Bay has just 96 guest cottages and suites tucked into forty acres of tropical gardens and beachfront. On Palm Island, a secluded 135-acre private-island hideaway in the Grenadines, 44 guest lodgings harmonize with nature.

"With their secluded settings, natural beauty, friendly service and low- key activities, these resorts seem custom-created for romance," says Steven E. Heydt, Elite Island Resorts president. "All-inclusive pricing adds to the feeling of being on a fantasy island; once there, guests can put their wallets away and enjoy romantic experiences such as a picnic on a private beach, as well as meals, wine, top-shelf liquor, a wide array of water sports and more."

11272007: Dublin's The Merrion Offers Will You Marry Me Package

If you're searching for a way to make a proposal memorable, here's a new package that definitely caught our eye: the "Will You Marry Me?" package at The Merrion in Dublin. The package is available throughout the year and just in time for the top marriage proposal season between Christmas and Valentine's Day.

The Package: The package includes:

• A Deluxe room in the Georgian Main House
• A welcome bottle of Champagne in the guest room on arrival
• Full Irish breakfast for two
• Rose petal turndown service (spelling out "Will You Marry Me" if desired)
• A Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Lady jewelry watch with reversible case, engraved with "Will You Marry Me" and provided in cooperation with Dublin's Paul Sheeran Jewellers. The watch alone has a retail value of approximately $7,000 ...which means the rest of the package is on the house.

Need More Help?
Though an engagement ring isn't included in the package, Paul Sheeran Jewellers is available to assist with a selection, and The Merrion will plot and scheme with grooms about creative delivery plans.

Price: The Will You Marry Me package is priced at €4,750 (approximately $7,000) per couple.

Valentine's Day Choices

Since Dublin is the final resting place of St. Valentine himself, it is only fitting that The Merrion offers two romantic options specifically for Valentine's Day celebrations (whether or not a proposal is part of your plan):

The Romantic Getaway
Guests enjoy two nights in a stylish Garden Wing double room, full Irish breakfast on both mornings, complimentary chilled Rosé Champagne, heart-shaped chocolates and a special gift of a rose-scented candle and bath oil in the room. The Romantic Getaway is subject to availability from February 2 to 17, 2008 for €640 (approximately $960) per couple.

The Romantic Interlude
A one-night alternative features overnight accommodations in a Garden Wing double room on Valentine's Day with a full Irish breakfast, Rosé Champagne and heart-shaped chocolates plus a romantic three-course Valentine's Day dinner in The Merrion's Cellar Restaurant. The Romantic Interlude is subject to availability on Tuesday, February 14, 2008 for €485 (approximately $728) per couple.

Why It's Dreamy: This unique hotel is composed of four Georgian townhouses, one of which was the birthplace of the Duke of Wellington, combined with a specially commissioned contemporary wing that wraps around private gardens. With its extensive art collection, intimate drawing rooms and working fireplaces, the hotel considers itself the ideal setting for a romantic interlude anytime but especially when a major statement must be made.

11152007: How About a Treasure Hunt Proposal in Aruba?!

We're always getting letters from readers looking for unique ways to propose, ideas for making the day unforgettable. Here's one: how about making the proposal a treasure hunt?

Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba offers great ways to pop the question. Before arriving, guests can custom order their very own engagement and the attentive staff at Bucuti will stop at no end to deliver the magical moment. With amazing attention to detail, right down to the number of rose petals and specific type of champagne, individuals can rest assured their proposal will go off without a hitch.

If you'd like to follow the more traditional route, you can opt for a romantic beach setting on an isolated area of Eagle Beach. Resort staff will set up the scene with everything requested – perhaps a blanket, candles, red roses, chilled champagne with glasses and chocolate covered strawberries. Created hours before, the location will be completely void of Bucuti staff, making it seem as if the couple just happened to stumble upon this romantic beach setting.

Those seeking fun and games may choose an adventurous scavenger hunt to lead their fiancé-to-be to the ring. While enjoying a meal at the Pirates’ Nest Restaurant, guests can invite their loved one to partake in a thrilling hunt for buried treasure. Guests can coordinate with Bucuti staff on a location for the ring to be buried, and then create clues that will lead their significant other directly to where the X marks the spot of the buried treasure.

Another unforgettable moment created at the resort leads the loved ones to a surprise proposal while on a snorkel excursion in the Caribbean Sea. Carefully planned with resort staff, the ring will be packed into a special box and hid beneath the water in a nearby snorkeling site. Bucuti staff will coordinate with the snorkeling charter regarding the rings location and make sure the couple is dropped in the correct spot enabling the fiancé-to-be to discover this treasure beneath the sea.

Swept Away Romance Package: However you choose to pop the question, you can add Bucuti’s Swept Away Romance Package which includes hotel accommodations with a large balcony or terrace, all tax and service charges, a bottle of chilled champagne in the room, candlelight dinner for two on the beach at the Pirates' Nest Restaurant, daytime snorkel or sunset sailing cruise and a Bucuti gift basket. Rates for Bucuti’s Swept Away Romance Package start at $1,720 per couple through December 22, 2007 and $2,793 per couple beginning December 23, 2007.
