November 21st, 2009 No comments

While you are planning your creative family beach vacations you should not forget the romantic element. The creative aspect can always include a little “creative romance” now can’t it? In this article we will outline some ways in which you can have “creatively” romantic beach vacations.

#1 – Pack a special picnic lunch and pick a favorite spot on the beach to share it with your special loved one. Don’t forget to pack some of those special treats you enjoy so much.

#2 – Why book just a regular hotel room when the Honeymoon Suite is always available? It can add a bit of spice back into your life, and bring back those special memories of “days gone by”…

#3 – Get the Front Desk Involved. They know the area very well, and are up on those special local attractions and places to eat. They would love to work on this little “romantic” project for you.

#4 – Switch Planning. Ask your partner to plan the perfect day, in which you provide no input, but go along with it. Then switch, it’s your turn to plan the perfect day.

#5 – Be sure to give lots of compliments to each other. All too often we take each other for granted, and we all love to hear nice things. Be sure to add a few compliments here and there to make your beach vacation romantic.

#6 – Room Service is a Treat. For a few bucks more, you can have your meals delivered to you in your room. Why not share breakfast in bed? How about a nice evening meal while you watch the “late show”?

#7 – Exchange love letters. We all love to get letters, and LOVE to get love letters. Think of nice things and thoughts and express them on the written page.

#8 – Star Gazing. Evenings at the beach are magical. Why not wander down to the beach one evening and look into the sky with that special loved one? Don’t forget to bring along a nice bottle of wine…

#9 – Beach Walks. Walking along the beach, hand-in-hand, can be very romantic. What a great way to experience love, and share a few intimate thoughts and words.

#10 – Go to your local department or hardware store and wander over to the sign section. Pick up a “Do Not Disturb” sign, and take it to the beach. Be sure to use it…enough said…

#11 – Bring along that Special Bottle of Wine. A little bubbly can make any occasion a little brighter…especially romantic ones. Keep it cool in your room’s mini-bar if you have one.

#12 – Explore the Shopping Area Together. If your partner happens to show an interest in a special item, why not double-back later that evening and pick it up for them? You could surprise them with it before you nod off to sleep.

Rome makes a great place to celebrate any romantic occasion, from honeymoons to anniversaries. Unfortunately, a hotel can be noisy and crowded – not the best choice for a quiet time together.

Offering the privacy and amenities that allow you to really feel at home, these luxury apartments offer great views and the ability to enjoy a real, romantic meal at home. That’s much better for most of us than the thin walls and crowded hallways you’ll encounter in most hotels.

You’ll be able to choose from a number of luxurious options, all featuring provided linens and quality furnishings, with great features like balconies with stunning views. If you want to spend time with your special someone, these apartments are the place to do ti.

These apartments are also rented by quality agencies that offer English speaking staff who know what you’re used to, no matter where you may be from. That allows you to have a comfortable, welcoming place to stay and reduces culture shock.

This relaxing way to spend an anniversary celebration in Rome offers the feel of a real home. Unlike staying in a hotel, an apartment won’t make you feel homesick or disorganized, and you’ll have the space you really need, no matter what apartment you choose.

An apartment gives you storage space, real furniture, and all the amenities you’d expect at home. You’ll even get a full kitchen – just remember that unless you make arrangements for it, your pantry and fridge will need to be stocked by you.

Most couples will enjoy a few nights eating at some of the restaurants located near their apartments, but you’ll also be able to eat in. This can be a great experience, allowing you to eat just like the locals by buying food from nearby markets and doing your own cooking.

In addition, you can pick your neighborhood, choosing luxury apartments that are right in the middle of the hottest attractions, or ones in quieter, older neighborhoods. Don’t worry about not being able to see the sights, though – even the quieter buildings are close to public transportation.

If you’re thinking about a summer visit, it’s important to remember that air conditioning is not a default amenity in Rome. That means that it’s important to look for an apartment that specifies air conditioning if you want it; however, the local climate means you may not need to use it.

Want extra amenities or hotel-type services? Just talk to the booking agency to find out what’s available, but don’t forget that while they’re happy to help you, there may be an additional charge.

Anyone thinking about celebrating their wedding anniversary or other romantic occasions in Rome should consider a luxury apartment for their stay. There are all sorts of styles, sizes and locations, allowing you to end up with the perfect surroundings for your trip.
