Once derided as the Redneck Riviera, the hundred-mile stretch of the Florida Panhandle from Pensacola to Panama City is becoming better known as the Emerald Coast. Beyond the inevitable sprawl lie pristine beaches and driftwood-hued hotels, none finer than the [URL="http://www.watercolorresort.com/"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]WaterColor Inn & Resort[/COLOR][/U][/URL]. The celebrated resort, in Santa Rosa Beach, is offering a "Four Diamond Valentine" package that may be just the tonic for couples in need of some warm sun.

The offer, valid February 10-18, includes accommodations in a Gulf-view room; a three-course dinner for two at the resort's flagship restaurant, Fish Out of Water; two 50-minute Swedish massages; and Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to your room. Prices start at $390 per night based on a two-night minimum stay.

The charms of Emerald Coast -- named for its greenish waters, produced by sunlight hitting a bed of white quartz sand beneath the clear blue sea -- are no longer a well-kept secret. [I]Cond? Nast Traveler[/I] readers named the WaterColor Inn one of the 50 best mainland resorts in the United States. [I]Bon Appetit[/I] called it one of the country's top ten "culinary country inns."
