Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort
 Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort |
Set between the rugged Mexican desert and the mighty Pacific Ocean, this enormous property of whitewashed walls and open-air spaces has the art of romantic pampering down to a science. In fact, Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort was among the first hotels to offer a department of romance services. Led by María José García, the team arranges everything from seductive torchlit dinners and aromatherapy-drawn baths to old-fashioned carriage rides and couple’s massages under the stars. Cooking classes and tequila tastings for two are also on the romance menu. There’s even a culinary class for the guys: Imagine your husband creating a meal under the tutelage of a chef while you watch and sip champagne! The two of you are then served the dinner, beachside, by a private waiter (

Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino
 A picnic on the beach at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino |
On an island where the trees lean sideways and the coins are square, you’d expect to find the unexpected, and that is what Tita Iglesias, romance planner at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino, promises guests. She’s flown in violinists from Venezuela, arranged special-permission horseback rides on the beach and hand-fashioned “tulips” from fresh lily petals when real tulips weren’t in season. She can arrange the usual romantic amenities too: All you need to do is ask (

Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort
 Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort |
Although the all-inclusive Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast may be family friendly and megasized (it stretches over 2,400 tropical acres), there’s
an intimate adults-only 122-room enclave offering such services as pillow and in-room aromatherapy menus, plus in-house “romance specialists.” These consultants can arrange options like breakfast in bed with mimosas, a welcome bottle of bubbly and rose-petal turndown service. Book a massage, and you’ll enjoy the treatment in a private cabin set amid the resort’s tropical gardens. Guests of the exclusive adults-only area also enjoy a private pool with comfy waterfront Bali beds and dedicated beach butlers, who bring drinks and anything else you may request to your special spot in the sand (
