Your hotel choice can say a lot about what you think of your guy or gal. For something more inspired than a run-of-the-mill rendezvous, try one of these: our 10 favorite Tablet hotels made for couples.

Ponta Dos Ganchos Resort – Brazil
If a torch-lit dinner on Ponta dos Ganchos’ private island isn’t enough to impress your date, book one of the higher-end bungalows with its own plunge pool and, more to the point, its own wine cellar. What happens after that is between you two and the jacuzzi on your isolated terrace.
Villa De L’O – Morocco
A romantic seaside setting, an in-house hammam to melt the stress away, large beds that beg to be rolled in — what more could you want? How about a gorgeous, oversized bathtub with a curtain to draw around it? Villa De L’O has that too!
International House – Louisiana
Here’s a New Orleans twist on making the magic happen — book the International House’s “Sanctuary of Love” service and a real live voodoo priestess will conduct a love ceremony in your specially decorated room. To avoid bad mojo, be sure to give the hotel 30 days’ notice, along with the required fingernail clippings.
Mosquito Beach Adult Hotel – Mexico
Half of the Mosquito Beach Adult Hotel’s name is sexy, the other half not so much. Fortunately the scales are tipped in the right direction by a candlelit path to your dinner table on the beach, a private four-course meal with a dedicated chef and waiter, some sparkling wine to pick you up, and coffee at meal’s end to keep you awake after dinner.
Torre De Moravola – Italy
Dinner at the Torre De Moravola, a thousand-year-old hilltop watchtower, overlooking the Umbrian countryside is romantic, but roaring fireplaces and enormous sunken baths are downright sexy. One wonders if the watchtower’s guards were ever allowed to have this much fun.
Algodon Mansion – Argentina
Fortunately your personal butler at the Algodon Mansion knows when to make an exit. You may need some privacy after a couples massage on the roof deck and a few glasses of Algodon wine in the hotel’s private cognac room.
The Pavillions – Thailand
Sure, the “chill-out” and “make-out” playlists on your villa’s iPod are cute, but it’s the “all-over tan” policy that makes The Pavilions a truly sexy hideaway — provided you choose the right company.
Casa del Horno – Panama
After an in-room wine tasting curated by Casa del Horno’s sommelier, it’s not a bad idea to let one of the hotel’s private chauffeurs do the driving — thereby ensuring there’s no need to keep two hands on the wheel.
The Standard High Line – New York
The Standard, High Line’s Liberty Suite has a fully stocked wet bar, a round, seven-foot bed, and a tea-cup bathtub for two — not to mention some world-class people-watching from the full-length windows overlooking the High Line and the Meatpacking District.
