You have finally found the time for that romantic dream vacation, but are not sure where you will get the most luxury, relaxation, and special treatment for your money? Look no further, because here are some of the most romantic, luxurious spots in the Caribbean. Each has its own distinctive character, so read about them all, and visit their web pages before deciding. I’d also suggest calling, writing, or e-mailing for more information before putting down your deposit. Most offer all-inclusive packages which can make planning just that much easier.

Just for starters, take a peek at the Grace Bay Club, on Providenciales Island in Turks and Caicos Islands. This lovely Mediterranean-style resort offers 21 beachfront suites surrounded by tropical blossoms, and is situated on 12 miles of powdery white sand beach and turquoise water. Delicious food, welcoming drinks, twice-a-day maid service, sailing, fabulous scuba diving, snorkeling, golf, and oh, so much more await the discriminating traveler. A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Grace Bay Club offers fully-equipped suites from 850 square feet (the Junior Suite) to 2150 square feet two-bedroom penthouses.

Sailing enthusiasts will want to visit the Bitter End Yacht Club on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Enjoy a live-aboard chartered yacht, or complimentary ocean kayaks, Sunfish, and other small craft. Weekly sailing regattas and introductory sailing courses round out the activities at this secluded, romatic resort. Hillside or beachfront villas or suites, all water sports, hiking—the resort welcomes families, newlyweds, sailing and diving afficionados, or adventure seekers. Bitter End has even been rated the world’s Sexiest Resort by Bride’s Magazine, and received great ratings from Conde Nast Traveler, Travel and Leisure, and Windsurfing Magazine.

For the most discriminating romance seeker, the Grand Lido Negril, on Jamaica, offers just about everything - quiet gazebos, rocky cliffs, and lush tropical landscapes dotted with hammocks for relaxing togetherness. Watch the strolling musicians by candlelight, or walk together on moonlit beaches; nibble on haute cuisine. Champagne cruises, peaceful sunbathing (there’s even one beach with clothing optional), superior service, including 24-hour room service, offer romance-seeking couples every opportunity to make the most of their holiday. You can even plan your dream wedding on one of their fabulous yachts. The Grand Lido Negril is one member of a group of luxury resorts in the Caribbean. Be sure to take a look at their other locations for more choices.

Popular Holidays In The Maldives

Jan-19-2011 By GuestPoster

Holidays in the Maldives have become very popular in recent years. The location provides the perfect cultural getaway for couples, friends, and even whole families. The weather is gorgeous, the scenery breathtaking, and the islands filled with restaurants, nightlife, and shopping.

Located a little over four hundred miles from Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, the island nation of the Republic of Maldives has a lot to offer any visiting tourist. Although much of Asia is known for high population, this country is small both in terms of population and land mass, making it easy to navigate and become familiar with. If vacationers are looking for space, privacy, and serenity, then they should consider holidays in the Maldives.

Although you can have a great time any time of the year, the best season for traveling to the Maldives is between November and April, which is the island's dry season. Temperatures and humidity can both be high, but tourists and natives alike are calmed and cooled by the breezes from the ocean. Here are some of the things to do and see on the islands:

1) Visit the beaches! The beautiful and plentiful beaches of the Maldives are perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, and sunbathing.

2) Arrange a sight-seeing trip. There is so much to see around the islands, and you can spend a pleasant day taking in the city centers, villages, and lush countryside.

3) Head to the outdoor markets and native shops for souvenirs. The selection of locally crafted items will ensure that you find something perfect to take home.

4) Hit up the nightlife! Restaurants, bars, pubs, and discos are all over the Maldives, and it's not a vacation until you kick back with a beachfront cocktail!

If you're planning a trip to the Maldives, simply plan it just as you would another vacation. Do some research on what you would like to see and do so you don't miss anything. Purchase quality luggage and make sure that it is in line with airline regulations. And above all, have fun!

How to Save Money on a Holiday in Aruba

Jan-10-2011 By GuestPoster

Going on a holiday in Aruba is something many people obviously dream of, but few ever do. This is an island located on the Caribbean Sea around Venezuela, and while it is only 20 miles long by 6 miles wide, it still has tons of things to do. It is obviously famous for the warm weather and beaches, and the fact that it virtually never rains. However, even if you are not an ocean lover, you will find plenty of things to

First of all, if you like nature, there is bird watching in the interior parts of the island. You can also go to coconut plantation to see how they prepare this popular fruit. The country even has a national park you can visit for more wildlife.

Then, of course, there are the sports. You might be surprised that golf is quite popular here, and so if you are into it, you will find some great courses. The scuba diving here is excellent because of the clear waters surrounding the island. Also, do not fret if you do not have your dive certification, because they have dive schools to teach you everything you need to know. You can find tours leaving at all times of the day, and this is something that any adventure seeker should spend at least a little time doing.

Snorkeling is also an option for the less adventuresome, and this is a popular activity here. As you might imagine, deep sea fishing offers plenty of large fish opportunities, and is something you need to partake in. In terms of accommodations, there are a number of options for where to stay. Obviously there are plenty of world class resorts, and if you want the life of luxury, these are the places to go.

However, if you want a more rustic feel, you might want to rent a cottage on the beach instead. These are much cheaper, and really help you feel like a local. Many people find they have a more enjoyable time in the cottage than in a fancy resort.

If you want to save money when going, make sure to take your trip anytime other than Christmas break, spring break, and the summer. These are the busiest times for the island, and you will get good deals on both airfare and accommodations if you avoid them. Generally, early December and the fall are the best times to go when travelling everywhere, and Aruba is no exception. The bottom line is, a holiday in Aruba can be a lot of fun, and this is how to save money while still having a great time.
