Welcome to the Positive Plus Blog.

A Valentine’s Day gift you both will cherish: Buccament Bay Resort

What will you give your partner this Valentine's Day? A romantic meal in a great restaurant? A stay at a 5 star hotel? A voucher for an activity, like a spa treatment or a special day out? Why not all the above and much, much more?

Save yourself from the drudgery of trawling through the "For Him" or "For Her" sections this Valentine's Day; give your partner something you will both cherish forever: an unforgettable romantic getaway at our luxurious, 5 star, all-inclusive Buccament Bay Resort in St Vincent & The Grenadines.

You can kill two birds with one stone by making your next holiday a gift to the one you love. Every wonderful thing about the resort aside, it'll still be a bargain compared to what you usually get for your money with Valentine's Day gifts! It'll also be great solution for future arguments.

"You've forgotten our anniversary? Again?! Did you at least warm the knife before you plunged it into my heart?!"

"Sorry, what was that? I was just thinking about the amazing week at Buccament Bay Resort I bought you last Valentine's. The wait until April was so worth it! Anyway, you were saying?"

"… nothing, babe, doesn't matter."

OK, maybe not, but the brownie points will definitely be through the roof!

Choose to stay at one of our deluxe villas and you will wake up with the beach outside your door and a private plunge pool. Bedrooms are air conditioned and fitted with a 40" LCD TV offering 65 digital TV channels and 12 music channels, not that we imagine you'll be watching too much of that with everything else you could be doing.

Once you've ripped yourselves away from the supremely comfortable bed (you may think that's a small detail, but just wait until you're in it), the opportunities for the days ahead are endless, whether it's for him, for her, for couples, or all the family.

The Pat Cash Tennis Academy with special guest coaches, the Liverpool FC Soccer School with special guest coaches, the Harlequin Performing Arts Academy with special guest tutors, Diving and water sports, a wide range of excursions by land or sea, The Spa by ESPA, and much more: Buccament Bay Resort is unrivalled in its variety and quality of activities, and the best part is that most are provided free of charge for guests!

By the way, if you do have children and fancy some time just for yourselves, babysitting is available, and Little Harlequins Kids Club and the Club 61 lounge will keep the bigger bundles of joy occupied. Little Harlequins has a petting zoo, climbing apparatus, age-appropriate toys and games, fun activities, and more, whilst Club 61 provides the not-so-little ones with video games, board games, a pool table, karaoke, movie nights, and other fun stuff.

Now, back to you two. Here are some activity ideas ripe for romance:

Sun, sea and pools to infinity

Ease into the day with a stroll along our beautiful white sand beach and maybe a swim in the luscious turquoise sea; that's if you can walk past the infinity pools without stopping for a dip and a spot of sunbathing with lunch and cocktails, brought to you by our attentive and friendly staff.

Relax at The Spa

Indulge yourselves at our haven of tranquillity, The Spa, with products and treatments by ESPA; alternatively, enjoy a massage outdoors in a Thai pavilion, under a gazebo on the beach or beside the main pools.

Take the plunge

The clear, warm waters surrounding the island of St Vincent are home to an incredible underwater world of pristine coral reefs, teeming with a magnificent abundance of colourful marine life that is second to none in the Caribbean. Diving packages range from gentle to exhilarating, offering a selection of pretty wall diving sites, stunning drift dives and mysterious caves, caverns and wreck dives suitable for all levels of experience.

Explore by sea

There is more than one way to enjoy the country's aquatic charms. In fact, many more ways! Here are some of the other water-based activities available: sunset cruise; dolphin watching; "Pirates of the Caribbean" film locations tour; catamaran tours to idyllic palm-fringed beaches and sheltered bays to swim and snorkel; yacht, motor boat, kayak or sailing catamaran hire.

Explore by land

Terra firma offers a number of magnificent experiences, too. Some of the great places you can visit include:

The Botanical Gardens, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere, boasting a wealth of tropical plants, flowers and trees

La Soufrière, a 4,000ft volcano with an immense mile-wide crater that's reached after a challenging climb through rainforest, and bamboo and cloud forests

The Dark View Falls, which cascade from 300ft over step formations of lava rock, set amongst a stunning bamboo forest at the foot of La Soufriére

The Vermont Nature Trails that meander through lush rainforest: home to the rare and colourful St Vincent parrot

A table for two and a tipple or three?

Buccament Bay Resort has a selection of great bars and restaurants that you can enjoy by day and by night.

The Bay Beach Club is the perfect place to linger over a sumptuous lunch or sip an exotic cocktail whilst watching a spectacular sunset. After the sun has gone down, a delicious menu of tantalising dishes awaits.

Dine by candlelight at Safran, which provides excellent Indian cuisine created using only the freshest of ingredients. Bowls of fragrantly spiced curries are cooked with natural herbs and spice blends, and served with a wonderful selection of accompaniments.

Surrounded by palm trees, Bamboo is a barefoot chic restaurant serving a mélange of popular dishes from the Caribbean and Italian stone baked pizzas.

At HQ, there is a tempting selection of teas, coffees, ice creams, sorbets, pastries, wraps, freshly-squeezed juices and smoothies blended to order.

Expert Sushi Chefs create authentic Japanese Sushi and Sashimi to tempt your taste buds at the Ginger & Co Sushi Bar. The dishes combine simplicity, fresh produce, creativity and unique flavours to provide the perfect light lunch or afternoon snack by the pool.

Guests of The Spa can also enjoy delicious and healthy food, juices and smoothies from the wellness menu.

So, what are you waiting for?

Exclusive photos of Father Christmas in the Caribbean!

Dsc 0240-2-xlHarlequin Hotels & Resorts is thrilled to reveal that Father Christmas luxuriated at Buccament Bay Resort recently as a present to himself before the mad rush of Christmas arrives.

Saint Nick took a break from reviewing the "Naughty or Nice" list and reading the millions of children's letters he receives to sip punch from a coconut by the beautiful pools, frolic in the sea with Indigo Dive, and sing a few carols at the Harlequin Performing Arts Academy.

One eye witness said, "Santa looks fabulous. Red is sDsc 0195-xlo in right now and he's really working the six pack. A lot of mothers will definitely be waiting up for him this Christmas!"

Widely known for his portly frame, Santa's new chiselled features and athletic physique have caused quite a stir in the media, with numerous websites speculating that he may have gone under the knife in the summer.

Speaking to representatives at the resort, Father Christmas denied the claims: "No, no, no! I merely look after myself between Christmases. One must when one has spread magic and joy for as many centuries as I have. I promise I will be back to my old self by Christmas.

"Even if I wanted to stay this lean, after experiencing the all inclusive luxury of Bucc Bay, where I've eaten great food at Safran, Bamboo,  The Bay and HQ for free all week, I'm not sure I have any choice in the matter!"

 

To give yourself and others the gift of the luxury 5 star all inclusive Buccament Bay Resort, please head over to their website.

Harlequin exhibiting at the Luxury Travel Expo, Las Vegas

Img -20111207-00311rHarlequin Hotels & Resorts is currently exhibiting at Luxury Travel Expo 2011 in Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. Above you will see candid photos of their stall before opening time.

With the American market steadily growing for Buccament Bay Resort, Harlequin popped over to see their transatlantic cousins in one of the most famous cities in the world to network and get the message out there. What happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!

Produced by Luxury Travel Advisor and Travel Agent Magazine, Luxury Travel Expo claims to be the industry's largest gathering of luxury travel professionals. It kicked off on Tuesday 6th December and finishes today, Thursday 8th December.

In addition to exhibitions, there are a range of events available, including seminars, workshops, training/educational sessions, and a party, which is purely a platform for net working, of course (there's nothing like a few drinks to lubricate communication).
