Caribbean vacations are the new thing! Try a St Lucia or Barbados holiday!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

There have been many budding holidays this year, but the two that have been on the rise the most and have been fought over in all sectors is the St Lucia and Barbados holidays. Tour operators around the world are trying to provide the best possible deals for these holidays because they are so popular. This should all make it easy to decide which one what be best for you?

Barbados holidays are the holidays for those that like to relax on the beach and enjoy a busy night life. If you do have a little training and experience surfing, then the sea conditions here will be superb for you. Barbados is famous for it’s pinkish and white sandy beaches, and almost completely clear seas. The East coast of Barbados supplies some great tumbling waves, but surfers must be careful because of some of the strong under tow currents. There is plenty of duty free shopping in Barbados, so it has become very popular with those that are shopping mad, myself included. There is no shortage of bars or pubs down the St Lawrence Gap which stretches for about 1 mile. If you like to stay up until the early hours of the morning, then this party life is for you.

St Lucia holidays are where people can be provided with luxury dreams and a most relaxing experience. This island scenery is shrouded in stunningly well preserved woodland, and surrounded by the whitest beaches you have ever seen. The sea is calm and clear, the sound of small waves crashing gives a sense of humbleness and the feeling of being care free. If you want something different as well, then why not visit thew only drive in volcano in the world. The resorts offer all kinds of spa deals, and you are guaranteed to get pampered beyond belief.

With any luck this will help you decide which holidays are best for you, do you like to relax or get partying?

Try Barbados this year for your vacation, visit one of the most historical countries in the Caribbean!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

We can all go to Barbados to have a great time and enjoy the night life, but Barbados is much more than that. Barbados is home to a variety of people, a mixture between West African and British cultures are present here. 1627 was when the British first set up a colony of about 90 people most of which were slaves. When slavery was abolished in 1838 the lifestyle on the island greatly improved and when Barbados was made a fully independent island in 1966 the country rejoiced.

Because of the strong influence that Britain had on Barbados, the religion is very important. The most commonly supported is that of the Anglican Church, but there are many others ranging from Roman Catholic through to Hindu and Muslim. Not only do they have a wide range of religions they also have many festivals to celebrate them as well.

Music is the most expressive form of art that you will find in Barbados, it is very important to them. You cannot say they are not creative especially when they have created their own genre of music and its called Spouge. Jackie Opel was the man who created this music in the early 1960’s. If you want to know what Spouge exactly is, well you will need to listen to it, but basically it is a combination of Trinidadian calypso and Jamaican Ska. One of the most famous songs is called “You Send Me”. Barbados holidays have often been influenced by the music and some of the art galleries that are known around the world. There has been some debate about Barbados art galleries, but the general consensus is that they are unique and beautifully created. A lot of the art that has been created in Barbados is of very high value, and many people visit the art galleries on this island just to see all the varying kinds of art.

St Lucia holidays have even received a boost from all of Barbados tourism. There is a cruise available from one island to the other, and although both cultures are similar, it has been argued that although St Lucia is more beautiful, Barbados is the more diverse of the two.

Give these holidays a go, or try something else with history, culture and art, like Egypt holidays.

My Grenada holiday was absolutely stunning!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I had enough of constantly working, it was time for me to do something for myself and go on a nice holiday somewhere. I had been to St Lucia on holiday a few years ago and had a great time, but decided that a new destination would be an enjoyable experience as well. After being to St Lucia i had already made my mind up that i wanted to go back to the Caribbean. I decided to have a little read about this island called Grenada, and i fell in love.

I hadn’t heard much about Grenada holidays, but I was still looking forward to it. I landed in Maurice Bishop International Airport and was greeted with some nutmeg and ginger. Interestingly this country had also got another name “Spice Isle”. This inspired me to go and check out some of the crop fields and farms. Afterwards i headed off to my luxurious hotel. The hotel i was going to be sleeping in was the Calabash Hotel, and it was unbelievably gorgeous. The swimming pool is right next to the clear blue ocean, providing a great view. The tourist industry is Grenada’s biggest money spinner and because of this they almost immediately treat their guests like they were kings or queens, I was pampered every day that I was there.

I headed out to one of the Chocolate factories; I just had to visit one. The tour around the factory was extremely cheap, and i was even given the chance to make some chocolate myself. The Calabash hotel also offers a variety of activities, one of which is the scuba diving centre. I definitely wasn’t going to be missing out on this, it was a truly brilliant activity to do in the Caribbean. We explored a small part of the ocean, I saw many different types of fish, I can’t remember their names, but I can remember the colours, oranges and blues everywhere.

This was a great holiday and if anyone is considering a holiday to the Caribbean, then try either St Lucia holidays or Grenada holidays. If you don’t fancy something like this, the only other one I can recommend is Egypt holidays.

Do you think you would take your children to Barbados? Or would you go alone?

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Do you want to go on your Caribbean holidays with your children, or is it a place for you to get away?

 

When you think of the Caribbean during the day, you think of cool sandy white beaches where you can enjoy some silence. When the sun sets, these holidays become a clubbing frenzy, and bars and clubs open up for business. So why would you take your kids here with you?

 

Barbados holidays were where you could go and party at night and chill out during the day. The family however does have many family activities designed for all to have fun. The submarine trips by Atlantis Submarines are fun for you and your kids, and the beach provides fun for everybody.

 

The question is do you want to take your children out there so you can have fun together, or do you go on your own to have fun. There will most probably be a point where you want to go and have a night out alone as a couple, or just to have a one night holiday yourself. Will you have a good time if you have some kids shouting and making loads of noise?

 

Well now it can work, in Barbados you can also get a baby-sitter with your hotel.  With the baby-sitter being from the hotel you wont have to worry so much.This means that you can enjoy a fun filled day with kids, taking them on various adventures and in the evening you can go and have fun yourself? You will probably only need one or two nights to yourself and the rest you can spend as the whole family.

 

So you can take your children with you even if you do want a bit of alone time. St Lucia holidays also provide activities for all to take part in. When you take a trip with the kids it is important to remember that it is a holiday for all of you to enjoy.

 

It’s not selfish to want to go and enjoy yourself on holiday. These new resorts allow us to take our children to all the destinations around the world where we can feel confident they will have fun too.
