Summary: Great...If you are donald trump....
Comment: How about an edition of this book where the rooms are actual within the price range of a normal family? I picked up a copy at the library and enjoyed reading it but with rooms costing about $500.00-1000.00 dollars a night this book was nothing but fantasy reading material. I have to disagree with a few recs, as well, the Inn at Spanish Bay is not that great, its a modern complex and while its nice, it isn't all that. There are better more historical romantic places to go, such as some of the B&B's in Pacific Grove.
3 stars, interesting, but not accessable to the average joe. Intended for the donald trump set.

Summary: Worth buying, but needs more colored pictures.
Comment: This book definitely contains a lot of helpful information about romantic resorts. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't more colored pictures of each resort. Some resorts have no pictures at all. If you want to see pictures of the resort, which most people do, I would recommend looking up the resorts in the book online. That's what I'm doing.

Summary: A great resource for those seek a place for passion!
Comment: Define "romantic", my girl friend said to me, as I looked at her with my best 'I know what it means, don't press me' look. Being slightly romantically challanged, my understanding of the world comes from Clark Gable in 'Gone with the Wind' "Frankly Scarlet, I ...".Katherine Dyson defines romantic with 100 different definitions via 100 different resorts. These selections span the world, so wherever you're are inclined to stoke the fire of `amore', Dyson has a suggestion. With each resort section you get a detailed profile, as well as web-site and e-mail addresses (impressive!).. Especially useful is the specialized indexes she provides: romance by the sea, romance with tennis, romance with golf, romance with a horse(!), romance on a safari, romance with a private pool, romance with a private fireplace and romance in a city for convenient shopping (Oops, there goes the romance).
Though I could only get to a half dozen of the recommended romantic resorts before I wanted to get back to fish'n in Southern Georgia, I got the general idea. I applaud the great research that Katherine Dyson has done, though I take exception to listing huge commercial resorts as romantic (Half-Moon Club, Sandals Resorts, Disney's Resort etc.). Also helpful would be a list of the most expensive to the cheapest romantic spots; it is amazing how $$$ affects romance with most men. But, pushing these observations aside, "100 Best Romantic Resorts of the World" is an excellent guide for those that have a moon in their eye "like a big pizza pie". Recommended.

Summary: Perfect for planning your honeymoon
Comment: The biggest thing I had to do to for our wedding (besides show up) was to plan our honeymoon. This book was the only resource I could find that didn't just list the "if-money-were-no-object" type of resorts. It also listed amazing hard-to-find places that actually fit our budget. The result -- our honeymoon was perfect. I highly recommend this book.
