In preparation and celebration for Valentine's Day, we thought we'd do a spotlight on some of our most romantic vacations!  If you've been thinking of surprising your significant other with a romantic get away, these vacations make the perfect escape.  Here are our top vacation recommendations for couples, in no particular order:

1.  Sandals Resorts:  Choose from 12 luxurious couples only resorts on four incredible Caribbean islands.  These ultra all-inclusive resorts cater to those in love and include plush accommodations, all meals (including gourmet dining), all drinks (including premium beverages), all activities (land and water including scuba diving), and more!  Plus, when you book your Sandals Resort vacation by February 26, 2009 you'll save up to 60% on your vacation package!  Some resorts are even offering free spa credits so you can enjoy a couples massage or treatment at their signature Red Lane Spas! 

As an added bonus, when you book a Sandals package for three nights or longer for travel now through March 31, 2009 by February 15 you'll receive a special "Sandals With a Kiss Package" which includes a complimentary bottle of Sparkling Wine, two Celebration Crystal Champagne Flutes by Marquis by Waterford--$50 value, chocolate covered tropical fruits, turn down service with Caribbean-inspired Love Notes and chocolate Hershey kisses, and a complimentary 15-minute photo session with keepsake romantic photo.  Now that really adds a special touch to your Caribbean get away!

2.  Hawaii:  Say "Aloha" to romance on the Hawaiian Islands!  Hawaii is a perfect place for romance because of its pristine beaches, perfect weather, beautiful vegetation, and laid back feel.  Oahu offers a number of hot beaches and hot spots for a night out on the town.  Maui has some of the best beaches of the Hawaiian islands.  Kauai, known as the Garden Isle, is one of the less populated islands and offers secluded beaches, hiking trails, and more.  Hawaii's Big Island is also less populated and has some of the most dramatic scenery of the Hawaiian Islands.  For the ultimate romantic Hawaiian vacation you can island hop and get a more diverse Hawaiian experience.  You'll fall in love with the islands, and our discount prices.  Our 5 Night packages start at just $885 per person and include hotel accommodations, airfare, and a car rental.

3.  San Diego:  Sometimes referred to as "Hawaii on the Main Land," San Diego is a perfect place for romance.  In addition to San Diego SeaWorld, the World Famous San Diego Zoo, and other popular attractions, San Diego offers some of the best and most romantic dining experiences, spas, hotels, and beaches in the country.  San Diego has something for every couple; golf, water activities, hiking opportunities, museums, shopping, and so much more!  Many of our San Diego vacation packages have 3rd night free offers so you can save an extra 33% on your romantic San Diego escape!

4.  Las Vegas:  Tie the knot or reflect fondly on your wedding day at the wedding capital of the world, Las Vegas!  Las Vegas has some of the most romantic and diverse restaurants, spas, shows, and hotels in the world.  Where else can you take a gondola ride through the canals of Venice, enjoy dinner on top of the Eiffel Tower, stroll the Shoppes at Caesar's Palace, and ride a roller coaster atop New York City all within a few blocks of each other?  Las Vegas is a perfect place for couples and right now you can stay in Las Vegas for as low as $24/night!  Many of our hotel partners are even offering free upgrades to deluxe suites and more, so your stay is even more memorable.

5.  Disneyland® Resort:  Nothing says "Happily Ever After" than the Disneyland® Resort, and trust us, it's not just for kids!  Live out your fairy tale at the Happiest Place on Earth.  For an extra romantic experience dine at Napa Rose, Steakhouse 55 or a number of other award winning fine dining options available at the resort and unwind with a couples massage at Madera Spa at Disney's Grand California Hotel® & Spa.  When you travel before April 30, 2009, Adults pay the Kids' Price on 3-Day or longer Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® Bonus Tickets, which saves you even more on your romantic vacation to the place where dreams come true.

We hope these recommendations are helpful in planning your next vacation, and we wish you and your valentine a Happy Valentine's Day!
