La Isla Bonita: Holbox, MX : Villas Paraiso del Mar

When I think of romance paired with adventure in a sleepy fishing town setting I think of  Isla Holbox.  A 26-mile-long spit of sand 40 miles northwest of Cancún.  There are no roads here, only sand. No cars, only golf carts. The warm miles that you will find here are those of only 1,500 residents and a few smart vacationers

You may have heard of Holbox as it is becoming known for swimming with the whale sharks. Further, Isla Holbox, home of the Whale Sharks, is totally isolated from any type of drug-related crime or violence.



 This morning as I looked though the images of this colorful town I longed to feel the sugar fine sand between my toes and the warmth of the sun on my back and perhaps a cool dip in the crystal blue waters.  I could not help but think of a holiday at Villas Paraiso del Mar.  Seclusion....  You will enjoy serenity in relaxation in this exclusive atmosphere, far from the tourism of masses.  


 Villas Paraiso del Mar will make a unique holiday where you will also dream to holiday.  Small but luxurious Villas Paraiso del Mar  has 36 suites distributed in bungalows with thatched roofs and private entrances.  All inclusive and EP plan are available at the resort.  When thinking of your next escape from reality think Holbox, think Villas Paraiso del Mar

Sandals Emerald Bay: Big Break III to air on Tuesday 20th of June at 9pm EST!

 
Big Break III to air on Tuesday 20th of June at 9pm EST!  I can't wait as it was filmed at the beautiful all oceanview, all butler suite, new Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma, Bahamas.  The resort's grand opening was this past January and I have not had the chance to visit.  I am already planning my trip!  Tune in with me and let's see the ladies tee off.


The hit reality show is back and this season, eleven female golfers compete against each other for the chance at two professional Tour tournamentTom Abbott and Stephanie Sparks exemptions. Despite the tropical setting, it won’t be all fun and games in paradise. The familiar skills-based challenges return to test the ladies’ abilities and the drama is heightened when the women must all live together in the same island villa. Hosted 
byBig Break Sandals Resorts was filmed at 
 

Sandals Emerald Bay features all oceanfront accommodations, five gourmet à la carte restaurants and butler service for all 183 rooms and suites. Set in the spectacular Bahamian Out Islands, this resort also offers guests a full-service marina and an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, featured on Big Break Sandals Resorts, the Golf Channel's #1 original show.

Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club at Sandals Emerald Bay is a championship 18-hole course designed by golf legend, Greg Norman. Set to become one of the world's greatest ocean-side clubs, the course uses an environmentally friendly seashore paspalum grass, which offers a lush, deep green canopy. Nestled in a series of dramatic fairways along the oceanfront that wind through seaside dunes, the course finishes on a rocky peninsula with a spectacular view of the ocean. Six signature holes hug the perimeter of Emerald Bay's scenic peninsula, providing unparalleled vistas along its turquoise waters. The stunning waste areas and the site's natural vegetation were used to frame each hole. The Greg Norman Course is a Par 72, approximately 7,200 yards long and was designed with Norman's philosophy to bring into play the "bump and run" shots around the greens. This will give the player the option to play a number of different shots.

Redefining the Cayman Islands vacation experience: Cotton Tree

Redefining the Cayman Islands vacation experience, Cotton Tree is the only luxury boutique cottage hotel...
 
 
Redefining the Cayman Islands vacation experience, Cotton Tree is the only luxury boutique cottage hotel in the islands - a collection of four pastel-hued, plantation-style cottages just steps from the Caribbean Sea, amidst a lush garden setting of tropical flowers and fruits - lime, banana avocado, guava and mango trees available for the picking, and of course cotton trees for which the hotel
was named.
 
 
Owner Heather Lockington, a global traveler who was born in the Cayman Islands, built her dream, creating an authentic haven where guests can embrace Caymanian heritage. Situated on over 400 feet of beachfront property, the boutique hotel is just steps from the Caribbean Sea on the northern point of Grand Cayman's West Bay and only ten minutes from the famed 7 Mile Beach.
 
 
Cotton Tree becomes your vacation home, a private luxury hideaway where you can completely unwind and be soothed by the rhythmic sounds of the sea. Take a dip in the freshwater pool - just steps from your residence. Maintain your workouts in our fitness center, enjoy yoga or indulge in a relaxing spa treatment in the open air pavilions nestled among the seagrape trees. Guests can also experience activities hand-selected by Heather including biking to Barker's National Park, bird-watching, art and culinary classes, as well as the Cayman's world-famous watersports.
 
 
Each cottage has been carefully designed to ensure you have everything you will ever need and most everything you could want - your luxurious home away from home - chic design living spaces, gourmet kitchens, spa bathrooms, daily housekeeping service, plasma TVs, WiFi high tech security system and concierge services to complete your luxury hotel experience.
 
 
Rent just one cottage or all as Cotton Tree is the perfect setting for a Caribbean Destination Wedding, Family Reunion or Meeting.  Hope to see you in the Cayman soon!

Destination Wedding in Cancun: Azul Villa Carola

I have more destination wedding clients this year than in the years past.  Some of my clients are torn as they enjoy the luxury and privacy of a staffed villa location but love the amenities of the all inclusive resorts.  This year I am booking Azul Villa Carola for my clients looking for the best of both worlds.




Azul Villa Carola, by Karisma is a gracious beachfront villa with a 10,700 squarefoot interior sleeping 12 adults and eight children. This luxury six bedroom villa has many special touches – a pool, heated Jacuzzi for 10, Majordomo service and optional private chef. It also features access to Azul Beach Hotel next door, so you have all the privacy of a villa stay, plus all the facilities of a boutique resort. Add in the convenience factor – just 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport – and this villa has everything going for it. Most notable is the flexibility. You have a number of meal options, from a private chef to hotel restaurants next door, to special dining experiences. There are Add-On Luxury Packages, and exciting extras such as yacht trips and a lobster dinner on the Aqua Sky Pier.

Book by June 30th, 2010 and opt for a staffed luxury villa with private beach, pool, Majordomo and hotel access next door for only 6 guests!
