Romance on the Cheap

April 24, 2006 at 9:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

Can you find romance for under $200 on St. Thomas? That is the question. Or at least one of the questions answered in this week's Washington Post Travel Q & A section.

The answer is yes and no... depending on your idea of romance. The island is in fact a romantic quintessential paradise, and if you spend minimal time in a cheap room, you'll stilll feel good vibrations, even at the Best Western. Room rates start at $129.

For $180, you can get a villa-style suite at The Point Pleasant Resort. Private balconies, ocean views, beaches... what other romance is there? OK, so there's not much design (think tile and rattan), but what the place lacks in style it makes up for in bang for your buck. In addition to reasonable rates, the resort offers some free activities like intro scuba lessons, free snorkel gear rentals, and a bottle of rum.
