"If a room with an ocean view, a private deck, and dinner in a penthouse restaurant isn't romantic enough, why not throw in a personalized beach-art message drawn in the sand in front of your window for an over-the-top romantic experience? rooms in this cliff-side hotel offer spectacular views and are well appointed with comfortable new decor. Ground-floor rooms next to the beach come with full stocked kitchenettes and glassware, making a shared bottle of bubbly on your own balcony a must. At the Inn's Fathoms restaurant (see Romantic restaurants), you can choose from a vast selection of wines to accompany your meal, or try the Inn At Spanish Head's own private-label Sauvignon Blanc. The staff here works hard to deliver a unique visit for each guest -- from the beach art and easy beach access, to the official whale watching designation and recommendations for best tide pools, to the prime beach spots to explore during your stay."
