No, not the stuff you dip your corn chips into. This salsa is the seething, hot, sexy dance with Santa Rosa’s Flamingo Resort hotel the place to dip into it.
On Valentines Day – Sunday, February 14 – the Flamingo has gone all-out to put in place a complete romantic evening for you and your true love. A salsa dance lesson, after which you can practice your sizzling moves to the live Latin beat of Tito Garcia and his Orquestra La International is among the offerings.
Afraid of revealing to your true love that you have two left feet? “Not to worry,” says Irene Silva of Santa Rosa Salsa who’ll be on hand between 8 and 9 p.m. in The Lounge to teach the basics. “If you can count to eight you’ll do just fine.” After which, Garcia’s gotta-get-up-and-dance beat will keep you going until midnight. The Lounge’s line up of Valentines Day inspired cocktails – among them Besame (Kiss Me) and Tickled Pink – can’t help but provide added inspiration.
Pre salsa lesson, a romantic table for two in the candlelit Terrace Grill overlooking the moonlit pool awaits with a specially priced “aphrodisiac” four-course dinner.
With the next day a holiday – Presidents Day – take advantage of the Flamingo’s Romance Room Package. Along with an overnight stay at the spiffily renovated resort – how about a suite? – the package includes a Continental breakfast for two and passes to the adjacent Montecito Heights Health Club. While not included in the package price, plan to keep the romance going at the Spa at Montecito Heights by signing up for a couples massage ….to ease the muscle strain from all those newly practiced salsa moves, of course.
