With restaurants around town and the surrounding area all gearing up to help you make this Valentines Day a really special one, there is a way of making the the Day an even more romantic getaway.

Book one of the many 'locals' specials around the local resorts and hotels.  Most of the major resorts are offering special overnight packages. We know the Mercure Treetops, Rydges Sabaya and the Sheraton have something special on offer so a phone call to find out the full details would not be wasted.

This year The Oaks Group are another of the local resorts that are offering special offers with the their 'Pamper your partner during the month of love' campaign. Most of these resorts have their own Spa and beauty salons so you can check out the full pampering packages for the following morning. To check out who has special offers for Valentines Day please use the free search facility on www.newsport.com.au or www.tourismportdouglas.com.au.

Just put in the restaurant or resort name and when the details come on screen just give 'em a call. They can guide you through what they have available to suit any budget

Editors comments: Whether it's for your man or your woman you'll get major 'brownie points' just for the planning you have so obviously organised. The truth is that all the organisation will have been done by the resort within the offered package, all you've got to do is turn up, but you'll look great !
