The early days of parenthood can be both exciting and disconcerting, and soon-to-be parents --
anticipating sleep-deprived days ahead -- are looking for ways to celebrate one last jaunt
together before the baby arrives. This fall, the AAA Four Diamond Grand Lido Resorts & Spas
in Jamaica are launching five-day “Babymoon” packages, designed to pamper and spoil parents-to-be
with unique customized amenities.
Available from September 1, 2006, the four-night/five-day “Babymoon” packages start at $2,200 per couple,
with accommodations in gracious suites, thoughtfully supplied with extra pillows for the comfort of expectant moms.
First floor suites are also available on request. Doting husbands can take a break from late-night foraging errands,
since in-room fridges are stocked daily with a jar of pickles and a chocolate bar, as well as soothing Ginger Ale and bottled water.
For urgent cravings that can’t be satisfied with a few bites, the in-room menu -- available 24/7
-- comes to the rescue offering luscious desserts, such as, banana split, brownie a la mode, and
hot fudge sundae.
While moms enjoy a specialized in-room manicure and pedicure in their well-ventilated patio or
balcony, dads can hit the gym for a 30-minute personal training session to develop and strengthen
their upper body in preparation for the bundle of joy – and the accompanying, oft weighty,
high-tech baby gear.
