Jamming Jamaica – Amazing Business Class Offer

Emily Ballard — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:56:47 +0000

Savings of over £900 per person with British Airways Business Class and Jamaica Inn.

Jamaica is arguably one of the most naturally beautiful, diverse and picturesque islands of the Caribbean. With long stretches of soft sand, blue sea, 120 natural rivers, steep cliffs, dramatic coasts and lush mountains with the highest peak of 7,402 feet (2,256 meters) above sea level, Jamaica has something for everyone. The third-largest island in the Caribbean is steeped in rich culture; this is where reggae, dancehall and club originated and where Bob Marley, Grace Jones and Sean Paul began. Let’s also not forgot Levi Roots who brought Jamaica’s Jerk spice to the world. With a near constant background of Reggae music, colourful dresses and rum filled parties, Jamaica is much more than a sun-and-sand destination.

Jamaica Inn is a privately owned hotel which has been in the Morrow family for over 50 years. Being consistently ranked as one of the top luxury hotels in Jamaica and the Caribbean since 1950, coupled with its wonderfully attentive, friendly staff and its award winning breakfasts, the Jamaica Inn is the perfect hotel to enjoy everything Jamaica has to offer. Located in Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica’s premier private beaches, and where it is believed Christopher Columbus first set foot on land, all of its 52 suits and cottages free from disruptions such as TV’s, clocks and radios. It is the perfect time to relax on your own private balcony and soak up the gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea that every room boasts. You can also indulge in the KiYara Ocean spa, nestled on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, offering a range of holistic and indulgent treatments using the finest local ingredients. The hotel also has a swimming pool and exercise suite and croquet, snorkelling, kayaking and sunfish sailing are all complementary. There is little to disturb the tranquillity that surrounds your stay at the Jamaica Inn.

Turquoise Holidays has an amazing offer for travel to Jamaica with Jamaica Inn with 7 nights for the price of 5. Included is the all-inclusive package, with dine around with 3 Ocho Rios Restaurants and $30 food and drink credit per room per day. Additionally, if you stay in either September or October you receive a free room upgrade from a Balcony Suite to a Deluxe Verandah Suite. Prices from £2,885 per person including British Airways Business Class Flights, saving you over £900 per couple! For travel to the 19th December, book by 27th May to take advantage of this incredible offer.

Out and About in the Turks and Caicos Islands

Emily Ballard — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:28:22 +0000

The Turks and Caicos are a unique group of islands with turquoise waters, stunning white sandy beaches and an average of 350 days of sunshine a year. Providenciales, the most popular of the islands, boasts the world renowned Grace Bay; a 5 mile long stretch of white sand of which many of the islands hotels, spas and restaurants are built. The Turks and Caicos are renowned for their excellent diving, with abundant sea life ranging from clown fish to sea turtles and if you’re lucky you may even meet JoJo, the islands friendly dolphin. I would definitely recommend renting a car, this way you have the freedom to explore the islands at ease, taking in the many private keys and the different personalities of each island. Chalk Sound has the most stunning turquoise waters, whilst Coral Gardens Reef is well known as one of the best snorkelling spots on Providenciales. However, it’s not just the amazing snorkelling and idyllic beaches that the Turks and Caicos Islands have to offer.

The food here is just spectacular; the island’s favourite dish of conch is a must have. If you have time I would recommend driving to Middle Caicos and visiting Daniel’s Café located on the beach at Conch Bar Village. The tranquil café oozes Caribbean charm, serving a range of freshly caught fish, cracked conch and cold drinks; the location is excellent and the service is impeccable. However if you’re wanting to stay on Providenciales, da Conch Shack also offers fantastic food teemed with charming Caribbean vibes. With tables on the beach and a live band every Thursday night, you can watch as your dinner is caught right off the beach in front of you!

Exclusive All Inclusive’s

Lizzie Heeley — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:25:22 +0000

Gone are the days where all inclusive holidays comprised of on tap slush puppies and deep fried buffets, screaming children and sun burnt Brits…we are now welcoming the dawn of a new ‘luxury’ all inclusive, where quality is no longer jeopardised by quantity.

Although the price tag is seemingly scary at first, the beauty of a five star all inclusive holiday is that from the moment you arrive till the moment you leave, you are truly at liberty to relax without the nagging worry of the final bill and whether you might need to leave the children behind to do the washing up for a few months, in order to cover the costs of the last weeks dinner and activities.

Honeymooners and couples love the flexibility of what time happy hour starts (…and finishes), and not needing to worry about the cost of drinking bubbly, on tap, for the duration of their stay. Premium all inclusive packages usually also include a range of activities and extras, day trips and in some cases spa treatments – these vary between properties so please do ask your consultant exactly what is included, as value for money in many cases is truly superb.

In particular for families, premium all inclusive packages are of great appeal and relieve the stress of forking out for ice creams every ten minutes because the last one was dropped on the floor…Mum and Dad can also have a holiday, not needing to worry about the cost of food and drink or day to day activities or the quality of what the kids are consuming. Each resort in our all-inclusive portfolio ensures quality brands and products alongside five star service, atmosphere and standards.
