Pampering in Puerto Plata

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a slew of romantic getaways have hit the inbox. Here's one from Small Luxury Hotels that sounds especially nice...at a terrific price.

Located on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, Casa Colonial Beach & Spa is a charming beachfront boutique hotel ideal for romantics seeking a peaceful Caribbean retreat. A two-night Romance package includes pampering from the moment the plane lands at Puerto Plata (in the form of welcome cocktails at the VIP airport lounge while waiting for priority customs processing, passport control and tourist cards). A private transfer awaits, and once at the hotel, couples will enjoy a self-guided spa treatment (inclusive of an herbal wrap, body scrub, rain shower exfoliation and more), a 30-minute "Serenity & Sensuality Soak" and a couples' massage. A three-course candlelit dinner, bath butler surprise and return airport transfer are all included in the package rate of $1,095 per room (additional nights can be added) through February 28.
