Where can you find the best bathtubs? That's an important question to ask yourselves when deciding on a romantic getaway. Because when it comes to bathtubs, bigger is better.

The best bathtubs —those with room for two, and perhaps even a private view—allow for long, lingering soaks together. They're a perfect prelude to romance. While big showers can be great watery fun, their insistent spray encourages quickies. Big bathtubs, on the other hand, inspire a slow, languid buildup to passion.

For that reason, it's always a disappointment when visiting a reputedly romantic hotel, peeking into the bathroom, and finding a tub sized for an overgrown toddler. To ensure you won't meet that fate, discover photo evidence of some of the best bathtubs around.

For the best experience in a hotel bathtub, don't forget to pack the bubble bath. And if it's a jetted tub, use bubble bath sparingly.

The grand-daddy of tubs-for-two, Cove Haven Poconos Resorts is renowned for its heart-shaped bathtubs.

Duos with an even higher tolerance for kitsch can opt for a suite with a seven-foot-tall champagne glass whirlpool bath-for-two. Other units feature a private indoor pool with an adjacent hot tub.
