Hotel Victor's Ultimate Escape Packages for DailyCandy Kids

Nookie, PDA, and canoodling? That’s just crazy talk. Try Nuk, PTA, and can-you-make-me-some-noodles-mom?

Sounds like someone should check out the steamy Hotel Victor packages created just for DailyCandy Kids readers.

The standard getaway includes a room with a jacuzzi for two, massages at Spa V, champagne in the spa’s cool-down room (think bed + curtains = privacy), and a special dinner menu at Vix (soft-shell crab tempura, seafood hot pot, basted center-cut filet, and peaches ’n’ cream shortcake).

Take it up a notch (ask for the platinum package) with an ocean-view suite and revealing body scrubs during your his and hers rubdowns.

No one to watch the kids? The Day Escape offers four hours of nanny service for two munchkins, body scrubs, massages, champers, and the option of dinner.

Now you’re talking.

Available at Hotel Victor, 1144 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach (305-233-1234 or hotelvictorsouthbeach.com).
