The range includes properties situated in various parts of the country, from the Pyrenees mountain range in the north, through the mainland to the Canary Islands.

The resort’s Romance Package includes deluxe guestroom accommodation and a three-course dinner for two with sparkling, sunset views of the lake for $216.74, which includes applicable taxes.

While getting cozy in the quiet comfort of the resort, visit the spa which has added six “Bella Amore” treatments to its list of services just in time for Valentine’s Day.

From a mocha foot scrub to a sinfully sweet, chocolate-infused body polish, treat her to an afternoon of pampering. “Bella Amore” spa packages, starting at just $50 for a relaxing 30-minute chocolate infused Swedish massage, include a sparkling beverage and seasonal hors d’oeurves.

Couples can also enjoy a heated indoor pool, nature walks along the winding six-mile trail, a round of golf or a sunset from the resort’s veranda.

Cypress Bend Resort is an intimate, full-service resort nestled in a forest of oak and pine trees on the shores of Toledo Bend Lake. Features include 18-holes of on-property, championship golf; a full service spa and fitness center; heated indoor/outdoor pool; and a restaurant and bar.

The ESPA-branded spa and the property have teamed up to offer a package featuring unlimited daily EPSA treatments along with daily breakfast for two, roundtrip transfers from Krabi Airport by hotel limousine, 24-hour dedicated butler service and a complimentary daily boat trip to Hong Island.

It isn’t the idea of an unlimited spa package that’s enticing, but the relatively low per-day price (starting at $1,165 per day) and the fact that the value increases exponentially with the amount of spa services booked. If you were to truly schedule a week of pampering, for example, your savings could be as much as $1,800 per day.

That’s not saying that the price isn’t still steep, but it’s a dramatic discount given the services offered. We certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance to stay at one of the resort’s 54 villas.
