Weekend away

LegacyUser

hi guys/girls

dont know if this is right forum.. and sorry if it is!

bringing gf away for a weekend away like to treat her... and at moment am planning it
well have the basics in.. a nice hotel, have arranged chocs and flowers on arrival and going to book her in for a beauty treatment cos hotel has a spa located in it. and have two fancy meals booked at restaurants but just wondering has anyone any other ideas to make it even better... trying to think of many one or two little things just to add to weekend to make it special for it.

thanks in advance for ur suggestions...if u do have any

When she is down in the spa,set up loads of candles in the room,maybe abit of champagne on ice,bit cheesey but works a treat.

'was thinking something along lines of that but at night time when we come back but only trick is how do i set and light candles when she is around cant exactly go back to hotel and say to her o stay here here in lobbyon ur own.. '

Catari Jaguar

Yea, and a bubble bath and rose petals!

You could hire the Milk Tray man.







Edit: Do not mix up with the milky bar kid.

I have to say that, as a girl, I find the whole thing a bit cheesy and don't think I'd like that, personally.

However, I'm sure you know exactly what your girlfriend likes and hope you both have a great weekend.

my then boyf (now my husband!:D ) brought me away to Belfast and did what you are doing, dinner, nice hotel , treatments etc but he didnt tell me about it. He spoke to my manager and booked me 2 days off work. He told me the nite before that I wasnt going to work the next day but not what was planned. I had a great time and it was so lovely to think you are going for another crappy days work and then to be whicked off - felt like I was on the hop from school!

'And don't burn the place down with the candles like nearly happened with some muppets I stayed with over Christmas !'

'jotter the only thing she knows is that im bringing her away.. thats it.. location hotel and spa n all that is a surprise not telling where we are going til that morning and the spa treatment just before she has to go down to it.. just want to do maybe one or 2 things more just to topped it off.. especially cos spa thing is booked for the friday , so really looking for something for saturday night, candles is a good idea but how to get to room before her is the tricky bit'

Either slip the receptionist 20 euro to sort it out or do it while she's in the bathroom.

Don't worry. He's gay... and dead

You could always ask manager to arrange while you are out for dinner or on arrival, rose petals on the bed and candles lighting around the room. If the hotel isn't too far away go down a few days or day before and arrange it, talk to the manager that is not to do up the room, maybe a bottle of her favourite champange/wine ready. Remember it is the simple things that will mean the most to her.. Nice to see romance is alive some where. Your girlfriend sounds like a very lucky girl. GUYS TAKE NOTE!

I was just about to suggest this... But also take a sevear roundabout route to keep her guessing...

I very much doubt any hotel manager will allow candles lighting as this is a severe health and saftey hazzard.

You hinting im not romantic jules

GIRLS ALSO TAKE NOTE! This is the age of equality, and romance works both ways. Except of course instead of chocolates, it should be a steak, and instead of the flowers, it should be the rugby on DVD.

if i was to set up a romantic evening for my partner it would involve heineken chilling in a bucket beside the bed, an xbox360 with the latest games, and wireless controllers, so he could play in bed, and the romantic meal would be having a kebab delivered to the room followed by a bag of his favourite jellies for dessert!.....

see i know how to treat my man

anyway back to topic at hand, candles put in a proper place and on dishes or proper holders are safe and you could always ring the hotel when you are five minutes away and just say yes my name is blah blah and i am 10 mins away or whatever, have it prearranged!

Anti

They simply wont do it.

Jules

well the op will never know until he tries! Hope everything goes well!

Jeez!!!:eek: Don't forget a bag of crisps:rolleyes:

Got a nasty thought.


Very nasty.





Extremely nasty.




Did you make sure she has no plans that weekend? Last thing you want is to have a row because she planned to go out with her best mate, and you having spent time and money getting a romantic weekend away sorted out.

Just a quick note OP depending on what the spa treatment is ur g/f may want a little bit of notice and she may want to wax/shave/refresh etc Not that she doesnt normally! but I'd hate a massage or somethin sprung on me if I was preened and ready to go!

'well dont think that be problem, ya know cause she will be all done up for the weekend away anyways but thanks for the tip.

going to see about the candles and think of how i can swing it..even if its just a few maybe while she is in bathroom..

other then candles i cant think of any thing cos i have wine n chocs n flowers organised already

..just want to make it unforgettable for her.. for her to after not just think about it as just a weekend away.. you know..want it to make it one of those moments..'

Hi all

Best plan is to call reservations team in the Hotel ...talk nice to them,,,,most would offer to arrange Champagne & flowers (oh & some butlers Chocs) into the room for you ,,,,would be there on arrival ... some may even provide the champers complimentary if you make it out to be a very special occassion ....

after a nice warm relaxing bath treat her to dinner ....

Spa treatment would be appreciated after brekkie in bed the next morning ....

Drift

Most hotels are very nice about special things like this if you contact them in advance. I recently booked a week away for my parents for their anniversary and I contacted the hotel to book it and told them why I was booking. They were fantastic, they recommended a specific room and were all nice to my parents while they were there and when they sent me the bill by post I got a special note in with it saying they hoped my parents had a good time. (which they did)

So don't be afraid to contact the hotel in advance and explain what you're booking for.

If the OP has told her that she's going on a weekend away then hopefully she'll think ahead and do that anyway!!

Oh you poor soul...:eek:

ats

on the candels bit talk to the hotel even before you arrive, they should be able to arrange something. basically let them know the plan. your taking her to dinner and would like teh room done up that you plan on being back at what ever time. even better if you are having dinner in teh hotel, then the waiter can inform reception when you are having desert and someone can go run a bath etc for you, ya have your desert the waitinr brings teh bill to you and on the sly informs you (with a secret hand ahake) that the room is ready, ya sign the bill and head to the room, open teh door and she's greeted by rose petels on teh bed, candles and a steamed up mirror from teh hot water in the bath. she hits teh water you hit the pay per view

I remember being on honeymoon and we booked our hotel over teh Internet for on of our stays (we travelled round australia and on to fiji) anyway when i got teh booking confirmation I emailed teh hotel and exlpained that we where coming honeymoon they threw in a bottle of champagne and flowers for us in teh room and an upgrade to a sea view. another place we booked a superious room through our travel agent, they instead upgraded us to a bura (was in fiji for this part of teh trip) basically a group of cabins sourounded by trees but far enough away from the hotel and each other for seclusion. Champagne and canapays (sp?) every night free of charge and a buttler would you believe. basically they had a seperate work force just puit aside to assist those in teh cabins. even got a free massage for both of us out of it and in teh restuarnt they had a section roped off for those staying in teh cabins. every night wed come back from dinner and there was fresh milk in teh fridge for morning coffe or tea none of that UHT crap.

so talk to the hotel they should be more than willing to help just don't forget to tip well when you make teh arrangements

A little gift momento for her to remember the occasion? Not expensive, just the thought.

Sleepy

OP, personally, I'd arrange the candles, rose petals, champagne and that for after her spa treatment. Who says great sex has to wait til night time?

Forget the candles in the room - lovely idea - but I'd be terrified of setting off alarms (I once did that in a hotel - through steam from shower being on too long - that set off some kind of internal alarm system and they rang the room - boy did I feel ticked off).

But flowers and chocolates wonderful - I don't know any girl who would say no to that! I took my bf away for his 40th a beautiful venue - I ordered champagne - it was in an ice bucket in the room - with two glasses next to it - and Creme De Cassis. It was brill!!!

I hope you have the most wonderful time - and I'm sure she'll really enjoy it and remember it forever. We girls need our pampering and to feel appreciated! Have fun!!! J

bring some handcuffs!

When you get back to the hotel after your meal go for a drink in the hotel bar...say you're going to the toilet...leg it upstairs and get out the candles and rose petals, bubble bath, champagne and any other stuff...all pre-packed and hidden in room...get the bath running while you sprinkle the bed with petals...lash a few candles around the room, draw the curtains, turn off all the lights..put the champgne on ice and have 2 glasses ready to poor, TURN OFF THE BATH, lash in any remaing rose petals in there (on top of the bubble bath)..then leg it back down and finish your drinks and say "lets go upstairs"

If she asks any questions just say you went for a dump.

Jules, if it ever goes pear-shaped, give me a call, OK?

OP, you've had plenty of good suggestions, so just one small thing ... remember to relax and enjoy yourself. If you're constantly worrying about everything being absolutely perfect, you'll spoil the mood for yourself and for her ...
