Planning a Perfect Romantic Vacation

By James Toni

Our cruise specialist says " You can't go wrong on the Love Boat (Princess Cruise Lines) or Radisson Seven Seas Cruises' ship, Paul Gauguin, cruising the islands of Tahiti. Several agents echo her thoughts that Tahiti is truly a lovers getaway, highly recommending the "over the water bungalows" at the Hotel Bora Bora. The tropical sunsets are out of this world.

When it comes to the Caribbean, several islands come to mind. Sandals St. Lucia is a couple's only resort which caters to your every need, and the location is just perfect. Anse Chastnaet, St. Lucia is another wonderful property, ask for open hillside rooms and wake up with an unobstructed view of the Pitons.

Cayman Islands is known for it's beautiful beaches, wonderful shopping and excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. Turks and Caicos offers 12 miles of uninterrupted beach, a laid back attitude and an abundance of underwater life.

In Mexico it's Shangri-La, located on the Mexican sun coast. Where else can you relax in your hammock and listen to the sounds of the ocean. If you prefer the pacific side, may we suggest La Casa que Canta perched on a cliff surrounded by the sea of Zihuatanejo Bay, with a magnificent panoramic view.

Any Hawaiian island offers that exciting tropical flare, but when asked to pick the most romantic Kauai is the choice, it's those secluded beaches and the beautiful scenery. The Hyatt Regency offers a wonderful, sophisticated setting on Poipu Beach.

It's hard to top the ambiance of Paris, a stroll down the sidewalk, a romantic dinner at a café, the Eiffel Tower, the Louve. It's the history, the love of art, the exquisite taste of the entire city that make it a city for lovers.

Lake Tahoe, where else can you enjoy all the outdoor adventure and still have great shows and entertainment. Enjoy a sunset over the lake as you relax with a drink in your hand.

The number one choice is the wonderful city of San Francisco it's rolling hills, China town, Little Italy the Warf, great food and fun awaits all it's visitors. With only 43 guest rooms, El Drisco is the perfect boutique hotel an exquisite setting, many of the rooms offer a spectacular view of either the San Francisco Skyline or the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Make some time for the wine country whether you choose Sonoma or Napa you can't go wrong. Rent a convertible and cruise from winery to winery, stopping for lunch at quaint cafés along the way. Settling down in a homey Bed and Breakfast at the end of romantic drive, it's just the perfect weekend.

Well we hope we wet your appetite, whether it's one above, one that we missed, or your own special hideaway let our consultants plan your romantic getaway.
