Galley Bay Resort and Spa – Antigua
Loved for its refined rusticity, guests will be thrilled with the additions of a lagoon-side spa, a fine dining restaurant and beachfront suites. Yet the three-quarter-mile beach is still definitely the prize here, lined by a panoramic oceanfront deck and the beachfront rooms. Their rattan furnishings and island-inspired artwork are totally appropriate, although if you prefer the idea of bathrooms with corner-installed soaking tubs and step-down living areas with plasma TVs, then one of the premium beachfront suites are for you.
The quaint garden Gauguin cottages are perfect if having your own secluded splash pool has greater appeal. Sporting facilities include a tennis court, swimming pool, fitness room. bicycles and non-motorised water sports. For dining there is the Euro-Caribbean cuisine of the Sea Grape and eclectic grills of The Gauguin boasting private dining cabanas enhanced by the locally-inspired dishes of the third restaurant Ismay’s. And, of course, you can always watch the sun go down at the unique TeePee Bar.

Soneva Fushi Maldives
Soneva Fushi Maldives is the original desert island hideaway situated on Kunfunadhoo Island in Baa Atoll. It is the ultimate castaway experience,with the motto of “No News No Shoes”, no pretensions either.
From the moment you arrive by seaplane you feel at home, particularly with the impeccable, intuitive service provided by Mr./Ms. Friday butlers who know what you want before you want it.
There are Fifty-five vast villas (with from 1 to 4 bedrooms) including a limited number of private residences, hidden among dense foliage within touching distance of a Biosphere UNESCO protected pristine coral reef. Vast, sigh-inducing beds induce the sweetest of dreams with intoxicating tropical aromas pervading every bathroom.
Why not try out the Soneva Fushi Villa Suite and Pool with Tree House or the Jungle Reserve, accommodation with an initiative difference.
Many guests stay ‘home’ in their villa, enjoying unrivalled peace and privacy with the best ‘takeaway’ food in the Indian Ocean. Others head out to explore the nine different dining options. To breakfast at Mihiree Mitha, the social hub of the island, or dine in Fresh In The Garden, a restaurant cooled by breezes above the heady scents of the famous organic herb (delicious rocket) and vegetable garden. Try By The Beach, a Japanese Korean restaurant right on the beach or Nine a restaurant that serves dishes aimed at sharing. The trick is to leave a little extra room to grow into your clothes, the food is so mouth watering it is impossible to resist.
Every visit makes you feel young again. Cycling round the island, never knowing when you might have to swerve to avoid bunny rabbits or lizards. Watching movies in Cinema Paradiso with only the starlit sky above. Counting Saturn’s rings in the Observatory. Deciding between sixty flavours of ice cream. Eleven types of pillow which could have coverings like those from silk pillowcase UK. Five hundred different wines. Or which chocolate to have from the 24/7 chocolate room. The Spa is also a great temptation and a definite must.
Opportunities to venture beyond the island include cruises, picnics on the island’s own private sandbank or three deserted islands, breathtaking diving such as watching the majestic rays feed at Manta Point, or fascinating cultural visits to nearby islands. Soneva Fushi is the ultimate pioneer of memory-making experiences.
Soneva Fushi is committed to the Soneva Group’s SLOW LIFE philosophy; Sustainable-Local-Organic-Wellness Learning-Inspiring-Fun-Experiences. So why not join in the Slow Life.

Central America
Quite often, the region of Central America is overlooked on the maps but is, in fact, an important part of the North American continent. Many wars have been waged, and fortunes made and lost, of their valuable, natural resources. Fruits, sugar and coffee, have always been the real treasures, but the conquistadors were looking for gold and gems.
I have spent a lot of time in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador and hope, one day, to visit the other countries. The attractions range from climbing volcanoes to great surfing, and there is an abundance of lovely beaches for those just looking to chill. I think one of the biggest attractions is the fact that it is very easy to immerse yourself in the local way of life and, by doing so, live very economically for a longer holiday.
For those who are used to the finer things in life, there are high-end hotels and private excursions and guides can be arranged. A lot of travellers may prefer an organised group coach trip, and these can be arranged to suit most budgets by reputable companies based here in the UK.
The first thing that you will need to do is decide what it is you’d like to see and how much time you can spend. While a 2-week trip will give you a very good taste of the region, a full month or more will get you stuck in.
You may want to have a go at some Spanish classes, as well. Antigua, Guatemala is famous for its plentiful Spanish schools, and many attend them to master the language. The huge advantage to learning in Guatemala is that the locals speak more slowly and concisely, so it makes it more pleasant for the beginner to converse. Also, the schools are very flexible and inexpensive, and tuition is, usually, one on one.
Central America is very easy to travel through as local buses and coaches will take you to even the most remote destinations. Don’t be surprised to see any form of farm items, from goats to chickens and huge baskets of fruit, as locals make their way to or from the local markets. These markets are the backbone of rural communities, and practically everyone attends. This is a great place to pick up some deals on whatever trinkets you may want but be aware that negotiation will be necessary.
Adventure is almost a given here, and the opportunities to explore are endless. Visits to local homes and communities are pleasant, but many opt for climbing volcanoes or rustic trips in canoes up the rivers of the Mosquito Coast. The Islands of Honduras are exceptional places to learn to dive as marine life (including whale sharks) is abundant, and the prices are incredibly low. Archaeological sites, also, are plentiful, and great Mayan ruins and World Heritage sites are easily accessible.
Central America is a nature lover’s paradise, and bird watchers will have a field day. Parrots, toucans and sea birds are always on the lists and don’t forget the Quetzal, Guatemala’s national bird and very illusive.
Water sports and beaches are, also, a huge attraction and the region, once again, offers everything from star luxury to a basic hut on the beach..if you opt for the latter then be sure to shake out your shoes before putting them on. Surfing, diving and fishing are very popular, and the waters are warm for swimming, all year round.

The Canaries
Thirteen islands make up this popular archipelago with over 12 million people visiting each year. The main attraction is the warm climate for those wanting some winter sun but the 4 main islands draw tourists all year round. Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are the most popular destinations and have an abundance of hotels from pure luxury to the most basic.
While the climate is the major draw, accessibility from most regions of the UK makes a huge contribution to the popularity. Flights are available to all 4 islands almost daily from Gatwick and varying days from other regional airports. The Canaries have a notorious reputation for being budget party locations but there are many high end family resorts as well.
Other than the obvious beach and pool options, the islands offer many opportunities for excursion from quad biking to star watching. In fact, there are 2 major observatories on Tenerife and La Palma perched on high mountains and benefit from the dark night skies.
If you’re after a good value holiday, and an opportunity to flex your Spanish, then these islands may be for you. Please get in touch for further information and, also, I’d be happy to provide brochures if needed…I look forward to speaking with you soon.

New York Guest Blog
My New York Experience by Sophie Guest
On my first trip to New York, I was unsure what to expect. From seeing it in all the big films it was always somewhere I always dreamt of going but never thought I would actually get there. I expected it to be a slightly surreal experience, and I was not disappointed as my time out in the city that literally never sleeps, was better than I could have ever imagined.
The first time stepping out onto Broadway and seeing the iconic New York taxis lined up down the street, I instantly felt like I was on a film set. On the first day we sailed down the Hudson River, this is a great chance to get a view of the Manhattan Skyline whilst also sailing past the Statue of Liberty and spotting many other of New Yorks famous landmarks. This river cruise is a great chance to get some iconic New York snaps to show everyone back home.
In the afternoon we took a bus tour around Uptown Manhattan, which dropped us of at the famous Central Park. When you first arrive at the park you are greeted by people trying to sell you bicycle hire or to view the park by horse and carriage, which did get pretty intense and annoying, but once you’ve got past them, the views that await you are magical and you see stunning views of a park you’ve only ever dreamt about before. My visit was toward the end of summer, and still with high temperatures, central park looked as picturesque as I imagined. From the park you can see the Plaza Hotel, renowned for being used in many films, including Home Alone 2, a film I’ve watched almost every year whilst growing up.
On the second day we visited the 9/11 memorial. It was a complete different experience from the rest of my time in New York, but something that I would recommend everyone to do. New York never stops, the noise and adrenaline fills the avenues but a ground zero, its almost silent as people pay respect to the victims.
Later that day we went up to Rockefeller building, it was between this and the Empire State building. I would recommend anyone to go up ‘The Rock’ when in NYC, as you get the Empire State in all your photographs you take as you look down over the city. From here you also get stunning views of Central Park. When I return to New York, I plan to go back up the Rockefeller at night, so I can see the magical city lit up.
On returning from New York, every time I see it on TV I look out for the places I have been and reminisce what we got up to with my family. It is such a magical city and I cannot wait to return soon!
Beautiful 5* St Regis Mauritius
Considered one of the most stunning resort in Mauritius, in one of the most stunning location called Le Morne, in the south west corner of Mauritius lies the sexy, sleek, clean St Regis resort. Everything is so beautifully thought, the hotel cries pure luxury and is the place to die for. This is the place where you will be happy on honeymoon, happy on holiday and is very special. You will never forget St Regis Mauritius.
The rooms have seaviews, they are spotlessly clean, elegant and are incredibly spacious starting at 73 sq mt for a Deluxe oceanview room. Suites have full direct oceanview giving access to a private deck. The hotel is low rise, which I love as it gives me the feeling of space and elegance.
The staffs are very nice, very passionate about their jobs. This hotel is highly recommended by many people and is one of my favourite hotels.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising our trip to Verona last weekend. This was a very emotive trip for my wife & I, as it was our first trip to Italy since my wife's cancer diagnosis 2 years ago. Italy is without a doubt our favourite place on the planet and we were not sure if she would see it again. Thanks to you, she has regained, what I call her Italian smile, it came across her face the minute we touched down. Money cannot pay for that smile!The hotel at Gatwick was literally a 2 minute bus ride from the airport, front row seats on the flight over and chauffeur driven limo to meet us at the airport was an amazing start to the weekend. When you said we were staying in a 3 star hotel, I was, if I'm honest, a little nervous, generally speaking, 3 star hotels in Italy means you are sleeping in a cow shed. Not at the Hotel Milano, what an amazing hotel, slap bang in the centre of Verona, with views of the arena, excellent breakfast, towels changed twice daily, good size bedrooms and very comfortable beds! The air con worked superbly, which was just as well with temperatures in the 30's every day. Thank you for making this trip memorable for both of us.

Jackie did all the research, gave me loads of suggestions and had the whole holiday booked and organised in just a few hours. All I had to do was pack and turn up for the flight. Next time I'm not going to even think about searching online - I'll get straight in touch with Jackie and ask her to sort it out for me! Thanks Jackie! xx

Hi Olivia, Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous holiday at El Paso Hotel, It was excellent, the food plentiful and there was a good selection. All geared up for families, with a lovely big pool. Being close to the theme park and water park was the icing on the cake, we even managed to spend one morning on the beach, this was in walking distance. Our private transfer was perfect, no worrying about the childrens seats as they were in our bus. Thank you so much for arranging everything for me and my family, you were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble, you certainly made the whole holiday experience for the eleven of us a complete joy. I will certainly be using you again.
