Four Twitter deals for Valentine’s Day getaways

You may not be able to say how you feel in 140 characters or less, but you sure can get leads on the best Valentine’s Day experience that way. So, instead of tweeting a feeling, use the white-hot social media platform to grab the top travel specials for the most romantic day of the year. Several resorts are running Twitter-only Valentine’s Day specials this year, so follow the right people, and you’ll be able to wow your better half this year.

1. @BalHarbourFL

ONE Bal Harbour, a five-star luxury property in Florida, is offering a savings of up to $800 a night through its “Tweeterhearts” package. Follow @BalHarbourFL and look for the package that has a room rate of only $1,335 a night for three nights, champagne in your room upon arrival, a couples spa treatment in a private beachside cabana and a romantic dinner for two at 1 Bleu.

2. @FairmontNewport
Look for a room rate of $199 a night at the Fairmont Newport with its “Twitter-patter” package. You’ll stay in a junior suite, enjoy breakfast on your private balcony and receive plush robes adorned with the names of you and your guest (perfect for Twitter nerds like @tjohansmeyer and his wife, mommy-blogger, @ljpimberton — I’m seriously kicking this around, just for the robes). Other amenities, from high-speed internet access to valet parking and champagne are covered, as well. And, the window is wide: you can stay from the beginning of February through the end of March. Get the booking code from @FairmontNewport or @FairmontHotels.3. @LandingsStLucia
Who thought you could get a great wedding deal on Twitter? This RockResort is putting its best foot forward with the “Twitter Bells” package, which you can find by following @LandingsStLucia. You can save up to 25 percent with rates starting at $564 a night for a six-night stay as part of your wedding getaway. Enjoy a ceremony on the beach with a decorated wedding arch, floral arrangements and a bouquet and boutonniere. Your wedding dinner will be prepared for by Executive Chef Richard Tonks, and you’ll eat it on your luxurious “Tweet Suite” terrace. You’ll also pick up breakfast and lunch daily and evening champagne turndown service. You’ll need to tie the knot by May 11, 2010.

4. @ArrabelleVail

Do you crave powder? The Arrabelle at Vail Square‘s “Sweet Tweet for Two” package will get you a two-night stay at a discount of up to 30 percent, if you follow @ArrabelleVail. You’ll be greeted with champagne, roses and chocolate covered strawberries, and during your stay, you’ll enjoy an 80-minute couples massage, a Tweethearts tubing session and breakfast every day. The package is available through the end of ski season (April 17, 2010), with rates starting at $465 a night.

Get out of the doghouse fast

You missed Valentine’s Day. Or, your gift (or other effort) just plain sucked. So, you’re in trouble, and you need a quick solution. Of course, you can’t spend a lot of cash on this endeavor. You need a cheap, good idea that will make your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend or anyone else forget that you failed at romance.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts thought of this already. Check out the company’s “Doghouse Packages” to see how you can make your difficult situation easier.

The Fairmont Newport Beach in California is offering two nights, free valet parking and a stuffed animal upon arrival. You’ll only have to drop $179 a night for two nights (Fridays and Saturdays). Amp it up with The Great Dane package, for those who really screwed up, which adds a $25 dining credit, two bathrobes, and wine and cheese.

On the other coast, the Fairmont Washington (DC) has a “Mea Culpa” package. At $259 a night, it’s a bit pricey, but you might need to go that route. In addition to a room, the hotel kicks in breakfast and a special “I’m Sorry” amenity. You know the apology will work, because it’s created by the executive pastry chef!

Need more ideas? Don’t worry, Fairmont’s got ’em.
