When it comes to romantic getaways, couples always want everything to be perfect, but no matter which of you ends up as chief planner, it will still always be a stressful task. It doesn’t matter which destination you have in mind, you can always apply the same planning tactics that you can to any holiday. If you want the top tips on how to plan that perfect, peaceful break away, then you’ve come to the right place.
Shop around for the best deals
Whether you’re planning a luxurious spa weekend in Niagara Falls, or an exciting skiing trip in the Swiss Alps, the best thing you can do to start your search is give yourself as much time as possible to bag the best deal. You should search online using comparison websites to give yourself a starting point for which hotels you like.
Then, go to the actual hotel website and compare the prices. Often, hotels themselves will do seasonal offers, such as Valentines deals or summer getaways. Always bear in mind that comparison sites don’t always offer the best deals around.
Also, when you’re ready to book, you should try to do so as soon as possible. You’ll secure the exchange rate meaning that even if there is a negative swing in currency, you’ll still only pay what you booked. Sometimes you can even secure a booking without a deposit, so shopping around has never been more important.
Look for experiences tailored to you
Once you’ve narrowed down your list of hotels, then you should start to compare package deals. Many luxury hotels give their customers the option of booking specific packages to make their entire journey easier to plan. For example, if you were looking into Niagara Falls, take a look at marriottonthefalls.com; the Marriott hotel on the Falls might offer spectacular views, but they also offer the “Romance with a View” package.
The deluxe accommodation stay includes a hot breakfast for two people, a VIP Icewine Tour at Peller Icewine Lounge, dining options at their Milestones Fallsview Restaurant, VIP Wine Tasting at Trius by Hillebrand and a lot more besides. These are the kinds of deals you need to look out for, and they will often be listed in the “offers” sections of hotel websites.
Don’t forget to check the reviews and facilities
Just because a hotel offers an amazing package doesn’t mean it’s the right place for you to spend your romantic weekend away. Think about how long you’ll be staying and what facilities you will need while you’re there. Are you staying in this particular place because there’s a festival or concert you’re heading to? Think about whether you’ll be able to reach it easily.
These are the kinds of factors you need to consider before booking. While going on the hotel website is useful to see their list of facilities, you should always cross-check this with review websites, and even post your own question aimed at couples.
