Adults Stay Free at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort in St. Thomas

This morning in my inbox I received this holiday deal from a great resort in St. Thomas!  This would make for a perfect group trip to celebrate the last days of summer!


From Long Island to the Virgin Islands. We have celebrated 36 years of hospitality at Bolongo Bay since we made The Virgin Islands our home in 1969. Dick and Joyce Doumeng became the owners and managers of the property in 1974. Personal involvement with both guests and co-workers was their top priority. That simple idea made a success of Bolongo almost immediately, culminating with Dick & Joyce being awarded the Caribbean Hotel Association's Hotelier of the year in 1988, still the only couple ever to win.
 

Bolongo Bay Beach Resort in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands is offering an “Adults Stay Free” special offer that provides free stays for a third and fourth adult staying in the same room with two adults paying full rates. In addition, the group will receive a 20 percent discount and a free catamaran sail to swim with turtles, or a sunset cocktail cruise. Under the offer, guests stay at the resort for less than $50 per person, per day. The special offer applies to minimum five-night stays through Oct. 31, 2010, and must be booked by Sept. 30, 2010. With the 20 percent discount, daily rates for ocean-view accommodations start at $212 for August travel and at $193.60 for travel in September and October. The cost per person, per day is $48.40 for travel September and October. The Adults Stay Free offer must be booked by Sept. 30.

Resort Hopping with Secrets & Now Resorts!

I just received the press release below.  This is a fantastic package for those of you looking to see a bit more of Mexico and what AMResorts has to offer or to end a day out in town!  


 AMResorts introduced their Night Out Dine Around Package, a new program that provides guests a chance to enjoy dinner and an evening of entertainment at a neighboring resort within the same brand. The Night Out Dine Around Package is now available for guests of the following neighboring resort groupings: Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa and Dreams Villamagna Nuevo Vallarta; Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun, Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun and Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun; and Now Jade Riviera Cancun and Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun.

To take advantage of this opportunity, guests will need to speak to their resort’s concierge, who will make all of the necessary arrangements in advance, including arrival and return times and restaurant selection. While dinner and entertainment are complimentary, guests will be responsible for the roundtrip taxi fare and all gratuities. Important to note is that this program is good for one evening in the same brand of resorts that the guest is staying at and the visit is not to be considered a day pass.

St. Regis Empire Suite Atlanta: Home Away From Home

St. Regis Empire Suite Atlanta: Home Away From Home



As many of you may or may not know I live in Atlanta.  One of my very favorite clients contacted me the other day and inquired about an extended stay and needed a rather large suite.  As many of you also may know I do not book not do I offer many US destinations.  Atlanta being one.  




 




However in this case I could not decline the chance to work on this project.  I thought about my options as they were quite limited due to my destination and knowing exactly the standard my client was used to and only one resort stood out.  A resort chain I loved in my International Destinations... St. Regis Atlanta.




 



I contacted the sales dept grabed my trusty camera and headed down for a tour of Atlanta's largest and most opulant suite the Empire Suite at St. Regis Atlanta.







 The 2,800 square-foot Empire Suite surrounds guests with every possible luxury, and the potential for many more through the services of a bespoke St. Regis Butler. With a full kitchen and elegant dining area, a piano and a fireplace, the suite is a natural venue for intimate gatherings, whether cocktails or a sit-down dinner.







Surrounded by French doors and several small Juliette balconies, the suite is open and airy. Decorated with fresh flowers, filled with original artwork and architectural drawings and furnished with plush sofas, armchairs, it is as welcoming as any fine private residence





Enjoy the ease and privacy of working out in the suite’s TechnoGym-equipped exercise room, relax in a deep soaking tub in a white marble bathroom, or simply unwind with music or a movie. From the latest technologies to the mahogany swirl, leather wrapped writing desk and chair, any and all desires are met.



 

 Throughout the suite, elegant crown moldings, handcrafted chandeliers and macasser ebony furnishings meld with a soothing color palette to define artful residential style. Hues of cream, taupe and mineral green along with sprays of fresh flowers create a soothing space made even more inviting with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Cotton Bay Village: Barefoot Elegance

 









On my recent holiday I toured one of St. Lucia's newest residence and resort property, Cotton Bay Village.  Even on a gloomy day in St. Lucia this gem sparkles!


It is just over a year old and stunning.  From the bursts of color to the small details. Cotton Bay Village is a intimate luxury village residence and resort that caters to travelers searching for comfort and extravagance. Whether you are looking for a group getaway with family and friends, or perhaps a romanntic getaway in seclusion Cotton Bay Village has everything you desire and more. Travelers who come to Cotton Bay Village are accustomed to having their every need attended to, and the Butlers and Maids of their villas do not disappoint. 






Barefoot Elegance is the theme in this community, where residents are all on vacation, so it feels natural to walk around bare-feet, passing other villagers on the way you can be as private or as involved in village life as you wish, whilst enjoying the elegance of the luxury surroundings and the immaculate service.








The accommodation ranges from grand 4 bedroom mansions with a separate guest cottage to spacious luxury apartment suites. With water sports, including Scuba and Kitesurfing, hikes, a 1st class spa and a golf course bordering the neighborhood, families group of friends, or couples can easily make Cotton Bay Village a second home or an annual luxury holiday retreat
