The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico

I love the photo above... all of these photos actually, but the one above resembles a stately Caribbean Villa welcoming guests home after a long day in the sun, on the beach or golf course, and surely there is a cool drink and delicious meal waiting inside.

This is the new St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Puerto Rico - located 30 minutes outside of San Juan.

Dreamy spaces are plentiful...

The dark woods, crisp linens, and lush green surroundings are intoxicating...

The bathrooms speak luxury...

And the pool area offers plenty of seclusion...

And an amazing kaleidoscope of blues and greens...

The Robert Trent Jones Jr. Golf Course is stunning...

I think the St. Regis Bahia is just what Puerto Rico needs... a luxury resort on a great beach with immaculate landscaping and well appointed rooms. 

SPECIAL RATES: Book by March 30th and receive the 5th night free, continental daily breakfast for two, and $150+ resort credit. Travel valid from now until December 16, 2011. As with all promotions, restrictions apply.

A vacation in the Bahamas is a smart choice for any budget because flights to the island are some of the most affordable in the region.

Punta Cana Resort and Club Named TOP Golf Resort!

PUNTACANA Resort & Club is currently home to two world class golf courses, P.B Dye’s La Cana and Tom Fazio’s Corales, with a third, Hacienda, set to open in 2011. The P.B. Dye-designed La Cana Golf Course, which opened in 2001, has long been a firm favorite of golfers from all over the world and, in line with PCRC’s efforts to be as environmentally friendly as possible, was the first course in the Caribbean to use paspalum, a grass seed that can be watered using sea water.  

In April 2010, the highly anticipated Tom Fazio designed Corales course opened to rave reviews with Golf Week’s Brad Klein naming the course “The future of Caribbean golf”. With the addition of Hacienda, the resort will offer 54 holes of championship golf to guests of the resort. The combination of the three courses, along with the many other amenities available to guests, makes PUNTACANA Resort & Club the Caribbean’s premier golf and beach destination.

Over 2,000 golf resorts from around the world were considered for this award category and were judged based on customer satisfaction, quality of golf course and accommodation, value for money, accessibility to tee times as well as speed of communication and quality of service of the golf resort sales and marketing team. 

Not only does Punta Cana Resort & Club have access to amazing golf, but the beach isn't bad either:

 

The resort buildings reflect the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets:

And the newly refurbished rooms are clean and streamlined making relaxation easy...

Contact CaribbeanJourney.com for great golf packages to the Punta Cana Resort & Club! We'll combine a resort + golf package with cheap flights. Punta Cana is serviced by every major island including; American Airlines, Delta, and even some discount airlines such as Jet Blue.

Big Break Dominican Republic

The Big Break comes to the Dominican Republic!!


{Remember my last mention of The Big Break?}


The new season was shot entirely on location at 

Casa de Campo


{Remember how I feel about Casa de Campo?}

In the 14th season of Golf Channel's popular reality series, teams of past all-stars return for revenge and redemption, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Casa de Campo Resort.

Premiere’s: 

Wednesday, Sept. 29, 9:00 pm EST on the Golf Channel

Following the premiere, the series will air each Tuesday, at 9:00 pm, EST 

October 5 - November 30, 2010. 

I highly suggest watching this show, not only for the thrill of the competition and the good golf game but to get a sneak peak at one of the Dominican Republic's finest resorts. Casa de Campo is serviced by the La Romana Airport on the south coast of the island. Not all major airlines fly in and out of La Romana. We usually have good luck finding cheap flights on American Airlines.

Tortuga Bay Hotel Honored With AAA 5 Diamond Award

The AAA 5 Diamond award is a rarity and only awarded to the most luxurious and discerning properties. The Caribbean is only home to three awarded hotels: Sandy Lane in Barbados and the Ritz Carltons in Grand Cayman & Jamaica. 

Tortuga Bay, the luxury boutique hotel designed by Oscar de la Renta, is the first in the Dominican Republic and one of only four hotels in the Caribbean to ever receive this distinction.

Tortuga Bay, which opened at the PUNTACANA Resort & Club in 2006, has received much attention for its guest experience, including VIP transport from the airport, access to the exclusive Bamboo Restaurant and Six Senses Spa, and ability to play the resort’s two golf courses, the Tom Fazio-designed Corales and P.B. Dye-designed La Cana. The many amenities available to guests make the PUNTACANA Resort & Club the Caribbean’s premier golf and beach resort destination.

The development of Grupo PUNTACANA dates back to 1969 when Dominican businessman and hotelier Frank R. Rainieri and Theodore W. Kheel, the prominent New York attorney and labor mediator, created a partnership to construct a resort and real estate community that respects the natural habitat of Punta Cana while offering a world-class vacation experience. Maintaining a dedication to sustainable tourism, PUNTACANA Resort & Club has since grown to encompass over 26 square miles and now includes Tortuga Bay; Six Senses Spa; the PUNTACANA Ecological Foundation; four residential communities (Corales, Hacienda, Marina and Arrecife); a full-service marina; nine restaurants; a shopping village; two 18-hole golf courses; and Punta Cana International Airport, a modern facility that incorporates innovative and eco-friendly design. In 1997, Julio Iglesias and Oscar de la Renta joined the Group as co-investors and have made PUNTACANA Resort & Club their home.  Currently, Punta Cana is the most highly visited Caribbean destination and is easily accessible from all over the globe.

Those chairs are waiting just for you!

Come and enjoy what AAA Five Diamond service & luxury feel like.  Please contact Caribbean Journey today to start planning your trip.

Cap Juluca, Anguilla - A Timeless Beach Classic

 

I fell for Cap Juluca on my recent Anguilla vacation. The hotel is best described as a classic beach club with a relaxed comfortable style. I could go on and on because there are so many noteworthy facets to Cap Juluca. The obvious highlight is the pristine white sand beach with gentle turquoise waves. While you enjoy the views from this amazing beach, you'll be treated to complimentary chilled towels and ice cold sorbet, pre-programmed iPods with over 300 songs, and 5 cabana bars dotted along the treeline. 

Cap Juluca has recently undergone a $28 million renovation. The guestrooms all now feature comfortable new Stearns and Foster beds and Frette linens, 40” Sony Bravia HDTVs and DVD players, Bose Wave stereos with iPod docking stations, free wireless internet as well as enhanced patio furniture, new towels and new robes.

Anguilla is an arid & relatively flat island so Cap Juluca provides a needed respite from the heat & sun in all of its lush gardens.

Cap Juluca now managers the Greg Norman designed Temenos Golf Course and there are many golf packages available. Contact me if you'd like a quote on a vacation to Cap Juluca! laura@caribbeanjourney.com or 866-236-1924. 

Please enjoy the rest of my photos from Cap Juluca on our flickr page. 

Temenos Golf Club, Anguilla

On December 19, 2009 Cap Juluca Hotel proudly reopened and now manages Anguilla’s first and only golf course, a $50 million creation of Greg Norman, the Temenos Golf Course. Anguilla golf is back in play. 

 

The course & club house are beautifully designed. Temenos would be a great location for a social event as well, complete with a large flowering courtyard:

Temenos is located only a few minutes drive from Cap Juluca Hotel. We are able to book tee times for any visitor to Anguilla. Green fees during peak times are currently $225/per person.

You can view a few more photos of Temenos here. Enjoy!
