Not at all, but you weren't very specific and it fits the bill you asked for nicely. Dirt cheap massages+great cheap SPG hotels.

there are many places with good massages. maybe you can give some details as to what part of the world you're interested in??

If he's only going for a night, and he's based in NY, wouldn't that really limit him to the east coast or Caribbean, if he actually wants to spend time on the ground for his massage? So like FL, the Carolinas, maybe Bahamas?
Any of those places have good massages?

+1 on your thoughts as per the OP's question.

Yes my bad sorry I was not clear enough, the truth is like what yosef said, we only have one night 2 days so we can't fly far. And we don't HAVE to fly, we can drive somewhere.

Are you willing to pay for the massages or does that need to be free as well?

Q274 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2011, 09:12:19 AM »

Where did I mention anything about anything being free, I plan on flipping my aa gc either to plastic jungle or the guy buying them on here, I plan on paying for everything

too cheesy for some but niagara works pretty well from nyc even if your only going to do one night. Drive time is around 6 hours or a super quick flight (but even with the flight being 90 min or so you have security and youre also not flexible and you dont have a car there, so i would say take the car)...the hotels are fairly nice and some have pretty good spas (the sheraton there is not bad and youd be able to use points)...and obviously nice views if youre into water falls

Niagra is vying with Reno, Nevada for the title of "The Ultimate Redneck Honeymoon Destination". Hardly worth driving 6 hours as there is absolutely nothing to do there

Drive to DC or BOS?

Love both those cities and both are easily accesible via a nice drive from NYC. Perhaps if you want some thing a little quieter you can find a place in Rhode Island somewhere that has a nice inn or B&B feel to it to spend a night.

newport RI theres a nice hyatt there i got the presidential suite there..

You can always check into a hotel in NYC for one night. In terms of spas the Mandarian at columbus circle will blow your mind. But it is $$$. There are spg hotels in nyc as well. Staycation but with a twist

I agree there isnt much to do in Niagara right now, but once it gets warmer its not too bad (the jetboating is alot of fun and you can kill time walking around + spa; It was only 2 days). I agree with the redneck connotations: anyplace that has heart shaped jacuzzis is upping the cheese factor bigtime. But you'd be surprised - I was in Aruba with the mrs a few months ago and the amount of hicks on honeymoons there was astounding. If your out to play "count the rednecks" you'll find them everywhere. After all, they do make up about half of this country.
