Are you in need of a Babymoon Vacation?
That’s right, if you are expecting, why not take one last get away before you bundle arrives? One ideal babymoon retreat is the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. The resort exudes romance and pampering with the intimacy of its 119 masterfully designed guestrooms, casitas and villas; regal Spanish Colonial architecture which captures the essence of patina and time; beautifully sculpted Tuscan-style gardens; exquisite tapestries, antiques and stone fireplaces throughout; Director of Romance, Robert Vickrey, and a staff dedicated to the spirit and nuances of romance; T. Cook’s restaurant, cited by Phoenix magazine as the Most Romantic in Phoenix/Scottsdale; and the intimate Alvadora Spa, consistently ranked as one of the top spas in the country for romance.
The resort’s Babymoon Bliss Package provides romance, luxury, pampering, comfort and ease at a time when stress is often at its highest. For some couples, a babymoon getaway is a pre-partum lovers’ getaway; others prefer a post-partum vacation to bond with their newborn. The Babymoon Bliss Package is designed to provide either experience.
The resort partnered with Jennifer Bowen Photography and Moonbeams, an upscale maternity and baby store, to provide wonderful memories. The package includes:
- A two-night stay in luxurious, intimate accommodations
- “Baby Bump” pregnancy photos by Jennifer Bowen Photography at the resort; “Bundle of Joy” newborn photography; or an option for both if both a pre-pregnancy and post-partum packages are scheduled. Includes up to 60 fully edited, custom photos; online proofing and ordering; a slide show set to music of photographer favorites; and a $25 print credit.
- From Moonbeams, a Cleanwater bathtub filled with goodies: rubber ducky in stripes or polka dots, Erbaviva organic “Nighty-Night” lavender aromatherapy for baby’s bath, Under the Nile organic hooded towel and wash cloth, and Angel Dear baby slippers.
- A $50 gift certificate to shop at Moonbeams, just minutes from the resort
- “Whatever-your-craving” in-room amenity for mom
- Cigar and cognac for dad
- A pampering prenatal massage and pedicure at the Alvadora Spa to sooth mom’s backaches and tootsies
- A stress-reducing therapeutic massage for dad
- A candlelit bath for two, drawn by the resort’s caring staff upon request
- A selection of complimentary in-room movies such as “Expecting Moms,” “Look Who’s Talking,” “Three Men and a Baby,” plus a selection of gourmet popcorn, sparkling waters for mom and chilled beer for dad.
