Are you planning a romantic getaway for your beloved one? We've listed some tips to make sure it will all go perfectly!
1. Go to a dream destination, not the usual thing... If you both have a dream destination then the choice is easy to make. If you really want to surprise him or her you should plan a trip to his or hers favorite destination. Sure it will be a total surprise!
2. If you have planned something make sure you keep it a surprise. Don't leave stuff like booking confirmations and travel guides on the table at home. Make sure you hide it very carefully.
3. Avoid double planned things when organizing a surprise getaway. If you are not sure if your husband or wife has to work the days your planning to go, you should try to arrange some days offs with the boss. Just be sure they will also keep it as a surprise.
4. A great day to have your romantic getaway is on your wedding anniversary. This will make it even more special and romantic. Another romantic day is off course Valentine's day, perfect for a romantic surprise.
5. Add some extra special things, like a little gift or champagne. Or if you have a favorite song together play it and have a romantic dance. A romantic getaway is also the perfect occasion to pop the question!
6. If you want to plan a budget getaway, you can also stay in your own town or city. A great thing to do on a free afternoon is a champagne lunch in the park. This can also be truly romantic.
7. You can plan a luxury romantic getaway to a paradise island, but you can also choose to go a little bit more often and plan a few getaways to different places. In this way you can surprise your boyfriend or girlfriend more often.
8. A romantic getaway should be for just the two of you. So you shouldn't bring the kids this time. There are also many hotels an resorts that are kids free and so you can relax with your partner without children.
9. You should check special offers regularly. Luxury hotels very often offer free romantic candlelit dinners, couples massages, champagne upon arrival and many more. To see all our special offers please visit: http://www.ghotw.com/offers.aspx
10. If you really have no inspiration on where to go we recommend you to go on a city break in one of the most romantic cities in the world. You can never go wrong with these destinations: Enjoy croissants and coffee at sidewalk restaurants in Paris, and visit the Eifel Tower for the most amazing view over the city. New York City is also a very romantic city, visit the Empire State Building or enjoy a walk in the park while the sun goes down. Go on a gondola in Venice and enjoy romantic dinners in the delicious Italian restaurants. With these destinations you're always right no matter what. rnTo browse all our hotels in Paris the city of romance, please visit: http://www.ghotw.com/country/france/city/paris
