  Capella Pedregal

  Capella Pedregalin Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is simply amazing!

Each room has a private plunge pool with an incredible full ocean view and an in-room fireplace that’s a fabulous place for a quiet night cap for two.  The Cliffside restaurant, El Farallon, is perfect for the ultimate intimate dinner with the mist of the ocean, the smell of fresh spices and the warm glow of a beachside fire to set to mood for love. – Tracy Carr, Vacation Travel Advisor

  St. Regis Princeville in Hanalei, Kauai

  The St. Regis Princeville Resort in Hanalei, Kauai has some of the most spectacular views of the north shore of the “Garden Isle.” The lobby is on the top level, which happens to be level with the road and all the hotel rooms are below in a tiered fashion down the side of the cliff. A private dinner on the beach is a very romantic way to spend an evening at this elegantly sophisticated resort. – Danny Dietz, Corporate Support Specialist

 

• The St. Regis Bora Bora is perfect for a romantic getaway.  The over-water villas are spectacular, with spacious lanais, and some have private plunge pools.  Guests can pamper themselves with a romantic dinner at the Lagoon Restaurant by Jean-Georges, or languish in the tranquil Miri Miri Spa.  Beach lovers will be swept away by the calm waters of the lagoon, and panoramic views of the imposing Otemanu monolith. – Barbi Partlow, CTC, Vacation Travel Advisor, South Pacific Specialist
