With Valentines Day just around
the corner, it's time to ask the experts at James TravelPoints
what they and their clients recommend for romantic getaways.
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.
