Hotels now offering “Procreation Vacations”; New meaning to “room service”
“Hey you two! Get a hotel room” has been replaced with “Hey you two! Go on a procreation vacation”

Says Starwood marketing executive Bill Thompson:
“We’re simply enhancing the baby-making process…”
The latest trend to hit the hospitality industry is procreation vacations. What married (and unmarried) couples used to do for free in the privacy of a hotel room has now been tied into a prepackaged bundle of add-on services. No longer content with just advertising HBO-equipped rooms or round beds as a way to service couples looking to be serviced, hotels have jumped about the infertility train as a marketing tool.
It isn’t the seedy per-hour hotels that are doing this but big names like The Westin St. John Resort & Villas on St. John, The Westin at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort on Grand Bahama Island, and the Martineau Bay Resort & Spa on the island of Vieques off Puerto Rico.
And the prices aren’t cheap either running from $1,600 to $3,500 per package. For those prices I’d expect, well, more on the pillow than dinner mints.
A cautionary note. If you see your spouse booked into one of these hotels on a “business trip” then you may want to scrutinize the check-out receipt very carefully.
