Hotels in Cancun may be as plentiful as cabanas, but here are a few of our top picks specifically for Valentine’s Day celebrations.

It’s always nice to get roses and champagne delivered to your hotel room, but these hotels and ideas may help you take your pizazz up a notch for V-Day 2012. After all, normal is boring right?

ME By Melia Hotel: While this hotel doesn’t have a specific Valentine’s Day packages per se, the “Real Suite ME” package will wow any lady. Visitors get two daily bali beds reserved throughout the day (these are beds reserved on the beach), a Teppanyaki group dinner at Silk restaurant, a choice of in-suite or buffet breakfast , a private shopper at Luxury Avenue, a special gift, laundry service, and more.

Dreams Resorts Cancun: An ideal way to unwind on Valentine’s Day is through a spa package. The Dreams Resorts feature some great ways to mix and match. If you’re particularly into customization, I would call them to see what spa treatments they can arrange. It’s a great idea to get a couples’ massage, for sure, but consider enhancing the standard Valentine’s Day experience with aromatherapy or a massage on the beach.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: This luxury adults-only, all-inclusive resort offers spa packages featuring the “Sweetest Couples Ritual” with facial and a hydrating massage that comes with champagne and strawberries. The 100 minute massage is a great way to unwind.  Of course, a spa treatment should be only one element of your surprise. Aim for the unusual.

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun: This resort has ocean view rooms from every terrace suite, msaking it a great choice for a romantic getaway; plus, it’s an all inclusive. Foodies, listen up. The property features restaurants that are open 24/7, so why not request a special midnight dinner (with an element of Mayan astrology, maybe) or supper or high tea? The resort features international menus and prides itself on satisfying all tastes and palettes.

Cancun is not as elusive and cost prohibitive as you may think. Check out these cheap flights to Cancun  to get yourself a picante Valentine’s Day with your significant other.
