It’s the middle of winter.\u00a0It’s cold outside…but you’re feeling hot.\u00a0You’d love to take off on a romantic getaway with your partner.\u00a0But… You’re hot and your budget’s not.\u00a0Relax!<\/p>\n

We’ll give you an insider’s look at how to get away without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

Romantic Getaways: Where to go and what you’ll find<\/h2>\n

1. Adults only<\/h3>\n

Nothing says adult fun like Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Great food, fantastic shows, and nightlife: what’s not to love?\u00a0Many casinos and hotels offer deals on their rooms, especially during the week.\u00a0If you’re not familiar with The Strip, make sure you take a look at a map first.\u00a0There are tons of cheap ways to get around, including Uber and the monorail.\u00a0But the sky-high heels that your partner loves might not be the best for walking, so plan it out.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a bit more water with your sand, CheapCaribbean.com<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n

Choose from a variety of resort destinations that let you get away from your kids or someone else’s.<\/p>\n

2. Beach destinations<\/h3>\n

\"romantic-beaches\"<\/a>While Florida is home to Mickey Mouse, it has also beautiful beaches and other fun activities.<\/p>\n

Islamorada is located in the Florida Keys\u00a0and is actually made up of six different islands.\u00a0Best known for its sport fishing, you can find cheap places to stay that reviewers describe as a great getaway or a quiet gem<\/a>.\u00a0On the opposite coast is beautiful Playa del Carmen<\/a>, Mexico.<\/p>\n

South of the more well-known Cabo San Lucas, you can enjoy its beaches without all of the noise.<\/p>\n

Try snorkeling with sea turtles, or exploring to find a secluded beach to read the Kama Sutra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Cruises: the ultimate all-in-one vacation<\/h3>\n

\"romantic-cruiise\"<\/a>Cruises have taken a hit in recent years, but they’re still one of the cheapest vacation choices.\u00a0Your food, lodging and often drinks are included in one low price.\u00a0It doesn’t always have to be a tropical cruise, either.<\/p>\n

Heading to Alaska can be a budget-friendly option If you live on the West Coast.\u00a0If you’re in Southern California, going to Mexico for a few days can be especially cheap.\u00a0Sometimes as low as $50 a night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Island getaways<\/h3>\n

If an island is more your speed, head to Puerto Rico – no passport needed.\u00a0And, it isn’t technically just one island, but an archipelago.\u00a0With so many interesting things to see and do, you might have a hard time choosing.<\/p>\n

Check out one of the few places in the world with a bioluminescent bay<\/a>.\u00a0Plus, the pi\u00f1a colada is their national drink (are we there yet?).\u00a0From boutique hotels to sparkling casinos, you can find a place to stay that fits every budget.<\/p>\n

A little further away but worth grabbing your passport for is Jamaica.<\/p>\n

Ocho Rios<\/a> is located a couple of hours from its more well-known and expensive cousin, Montego Bay.\u00a0You’ll find the same white sand beaches at a much more affordable price.<\/p>\n

5. Mountain getaways<\/h3>\n

\"romantic-ski-trip\"<\/a>No matter where you are in the country, there are usually mountains within a short trip from home.<\/p>\n

If you’re a skier (or just like sipping hot cocoa by the fire in the lodge), there are plenty of destinations that offer deals, too.<\/p>\n

Ski Free Stay Free<\/a> is a great option from the folks in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.\u00a0How much cheaper can you get than free?!<\/p>\n

If you’re in the Northeast, check out the outdoor adventure fun from the Appalachian Mountain Club.\u00a0These adult-only packages<\/a> do require clothing for activities like snowshoeing.\u00a0But what happens afterward in the lodge, stays in the lodge.<\/p>\n

How to book the best deal<\/h2>\n

Everyone’s idea of romantic is different.\u00a0Beach, mountains, island, anywhere without kids.\u00a0Or maybe it’s a room that has bookshelves<\/a> lined with Dr. Ruth’s picks, aptly named the Love Room.<\/p>\n

But no matter where you\u00a0 want to go, how you book it matters.\u00a0Depending on how much time and money you have, there’s a solution that will fit the most frugal budget.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve found your perfect destination, here are the ways to find the best deals.<\/p>\n

Share it<\/h3>\n

AirBnB<\/a> has a huge range of options, from a room in someone’s home to renting the entire house.\u00a0They also have destinations all over the globe.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not used their site before, there’s a short registration process to verify your identity.
\nAfter all, you’ll be renting directly from another person, not a hotel chain.<\/p>\n

Using the filters to find exactly what you’re looking for, there’s a spot for every preference.<\/p>\n

Book it last minute<\/h3>\n

Budget sites like Hotels.com<\/a> and Priceline.com<\/a> offer rooms at various guest ratings and prices.\u00a0If you are feeling extra adventurous you can choose the star rating and area, but not the specific hotel.\u00a0That way, you’ll get a bigger discount by letting the site choose their best deal.<\/p>\n

If you’re booking last minute (as in, you can go tonight), Hotwire.com<\/a>\u00a0offers some screaming deals.\u00a0Save your money on the hotel and make your partner scream<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

Deals and steals<\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive package, there are several cheap options.\u00a0Groupon Getaways offers vacation packages that you can choose by location.\u00a0They also feature romantic getaways<\/a>, some less than $99 a night.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Costco<\/a> member, it’s not just a good place to stock up on wine and chocolate.\u00a0They also have great package deals for lots of destinations.<\/p>\n

Timing is everything<\/h2>\n

When you book is almost as important as where you book.\u00a0Many destinations offer mid-week or off-peak deals.\u00a0If you’re flexible (ahem) make sure to look for date option filters.\u00a0Those usually check 3+ days around your target date and you can see all the pricing choices.<\/p>\n

You can get in just as much trouble in the Erotic Suite at The Palms<\/a> on a Tuesday as you can any other day!<\/p>\n

The final chapter<\/h2>\n

You’re all set! You’ve found the perfect romantic getaway.\u00a0When you pack your bags, don’t forget to throw in your favorite book.\u00a0Looking for a new book to read on your adventure?<\/p>\n

Our reviews<\/a> can definitely get you started in more ways than one.<\/p>\n
