Hawaii is tough to top when it comes to romantic getaways. The following is a sampling of the romance specials now available on the Aloha State's four major islands:
• Maui fans interested in at least four nights on the island's south shore can take advantage of the Grand Wailea's Romance Me Maui package that includes a 120-minute pampering session for two at the property's Spa Grande, featuring a side-by-side lomi lomi massage treatment; a four-course wine pairing dinner; turndown service featuring Hawaiian flower petals on the bed and in the bathtub on arrival night; and a bottle of champagne. The four-night special starts at $1,776 and is good through the end of the year. Visit www.grandwailea.com.
• Travelers can't spend the night much closer to one of Poipu's most beautiful beaches than in a room at the Sheraton Kauai Resort, which is offering couples a two-night minimum special, including a tropical mimosa turndown on arrival night; one breakfast in bed; and a welcome basket with island bath and body oil, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, loufa and body wash, starting at $239 a night.
