With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, many of you are probably scrambling to schedule delivery of overpriced roses or some wack chocolates or pajamas that aren’t going to be worth anything in a couple of weeks. If you truly want to make an impression on her, opt for an experience instead of a traditional gift. Gifts fade, but memories that you make on vacations truly last a lifetime. Here are a couple of our favorite destinations and little bit of info on each. Thank us later!

This Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with your loved one at one of Jamaica’s favorite adults-only, all-inclusive boutique resorts, Couples Resorts.

Each At each of the properties, including Couples Tower Isle, Couples San Souci, Couples Swept Away and Couples Negril, the offerings go above and beyond, with motorized water-sports, off-site excursions and transfers to local island experiences.
