romantic weekend

looking for advice

husband and i are thinking of going to scottsdale feb16-feb18 for a relaxing and romantic weekend away

is it worth going for only 3 days? and where to stay that is relaxing?

romantic weekend

My definition of romantic is not sightseeing, and hanging around, enjoying the hotel I am at. If that is your definition, then try one of the larger, self-contained resorts that offer a lot of activities and amenities. Princess, Phoenician, Sanctuary, there are tens of them. Search this thread for couples resorts for more feedback. I like a place with a spa, great pool, and close or having night activities on site.

I think you%26#39;d find Sedona more relaxing than driving around Phoenix and the traffice myself. There are definately plenty of places to stay but you are going to pay peak season prices for the hotels.

And now for something completely different..........aren%26#39;t you glad you asked. First I agree, there are several places that will fit what you are looking for, and in a lot of ways Sedona is %26#39;more'; than Scottsdale. But in my humble opinion, the two key words were ';relaxing %26amp; romantic';. Sedona is beautiful, but to truely enjoy it means jeep tours etc. (fun, exciting, but not relaxing or romantic......please don%26#39;t mis-read as Sedona is not relaxing.....Scottsdale is just more so)

With that said, relaxing/romantic to me is not BIG, it%26#39;s intimate and pampered. Where you can walk up to the pool, be escorted to your teak lounge of choice, have the terry chair cover and rolled towel for your head layed out along with the pitcher of iced water. Then have complimentary smoothie samples, frozen grapes, minted/iced face towels, %26amp; ice cream ';Dibs'; brought to you as you lay under the misters, float in the pool, or have lunch poolside. This is my idea of relaxing/romantic and it%26#39;s just part of what we experience when we stay at Four Seasons Scottsdale. Royal Palms, Sanctuary, and the Boulders are close seconds, but there is only one #1 in my book. Stay at FS you will love it.

See...everyone has a slithly different view of romantic weekend. I like traffic%26#39;s thoughts...but that is a caviar budget. Costs are also the other part of the equation, and if money is no object, then the FS (in season) is for you. My wife...she finds coupons and two-for-one deals VERY romantic!
