A Dip into Luxury After some breakfast bites, consider joining your other half at one of Ocean Casino Resort’s most picturesque venues: the Eclipse Indoor/Outdoor Pool. What makes this the perfect spot for soon-to-be-newlyweds? Views to die for – If you’re looking to truly take in the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, this is the place: and you can lounge on a chaise or take a dip while you bask in the sight of the big blue. Proximity to vittles – Want to lounge with a cocktail? The Eclipse Pool is conveniently located near the Lobby Bar. Need a snack after a swim? Grab a bite at Caffeccino. Year-round comfort – The Eclipse Pool is heated all year long—even if it’s not a perfect day to sunbathe, this is always a comfortable place to relax poolside. Pre-Proposal Glow After a bite and a dip, consider treating your soon-to-be-spouse to a spa treatment at Exhale Spa + Bathhouse. But both of you deserve to feel your best before your big moment—this is a great excuse to splurge on a couples spa treatment. Couples massages are some of our most popular experiences for lovebirds, and we offer three treatments guaranteed to rejuvenate: Fusion massage Flow massage Deep tissue massage No matter which treatment you choose, a couples massage is a romantic, relaxing break from reality—and a great way to ease the pre-proposal jitters.
