Notes From the President:

I have just returned from Tahiti and her Islands a couple of days ago and toured many properties on 4 islands and the Four Seasons Bora Bora is one of my favorites. The property is set-up as a Polynesian village equipped with a kids club, a beautiful wedding chapel, restaurants and secluded villas, that seem more like your home than a hotel room, are scattered throughout the property. The spa here is one of the most amazing I have seen in the South Pacific and I call it, "The Cathedral of Wellness" as it's as grandiose and awe-inspiring as a Cathedral. 

Contact your South Pacific and Tahiti Specialist today for your next trip of a lifetime, and we'll fully customize a package catered specifically to your needs, dates, duration, and budget.

Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort unveils largest Dolphinarium in Mayan Riviera

Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa Unveils Largest Dolphinarium in Riviera Maya

First in the world to feature all dolphins and manatees born and raised in captivity; kid and eco-friendly resort offers special introductory promotion

PHILADELPHIA, PA - October 15, 2012 - Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa has announced the opening of Dolphin Dreams, a new on-site dolphinarium managed by the experts of Dolphin Discovery. The dolphin aquarium will not only be the largest of its kind in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, but the first in the world to have dolphins and manatees born and raised in captivity exclusively.

Upon opening in November 2012, Dolphin Dreams will feature a world-class interactive and educational program allowing resort guests to observe and swim side by side with the dolphins, or participate in a "kayak with dolphins experience" - a first for the region. New room categories also will be introduced, including Deluxe Dolphin View Rooms and Preferred Club Dolphin View rooms, featuring private balconies offering a direct view of the show.

In celebration of the launch, Dreams Puerto Aventuras will offer a special promotion for the "Swim with Dolphin Experience" valid for travel through March 31, 2013:

• FREE access for children ages 1-7* • HALF OFF pricing for children ages 8-12*

"Having convenient access to new and exciting experiences is more important than ever for families when choosing where to spend their money on vacation," said Colette Baruth, Vice President of Sales & Marketing of AMResorts. "That is why we are continuously evolving the Dreams Resort & Spas family program to offer the best value for money and a memorable time."

With both Dreams Puerto Aventuras and Dolphin Dreams recognized as socially responsible companies with the ESR designation by the Mexican Center of Philanthropy (CEMEFI), the opening of Dolphin Dreams and its educational offerings reinforce their commitment to the environment. In addition to defining a "Swim with Dolphin Experience" community project for local students hosted by the dolphinarium, a portion of the proceeds will also go towards helping locals.

Additionally, Dreams Puerto Aventuras has enhanced its Explorer's Club for kids to offer eco-friendly and culturally-rich special programs like the Plant-a-Tree program, Corn Harvest program and the Dreaming of Freedom Turtle project (seasonal). Included as part of Dreams Resorts & Spas' Unlimited-Luxury® privileges, the Explorer's Club offers daily entertainment and supervision to children ages 3-12.

Dreams Puerto Aventuras also offers Unlimited Connectivity across the resort with the Dreams Resorts & Spas app, which is accessible for mobile download to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android and Blackberry phones. The free app allows guests to stay connected and communicate with family and friends back home using the app-to-app calls feature to call local and international (U.S. and Canada) phones and send messages over the hotel's Wi-Fi network without incurring any international cell phone roaming charges. Guests also can create user profiles using their email, Facebook or Twitter accounts to contact staff directly, tailor personal deal preferences, book spa appointments, reserve excursions and much more. Users can register the app with their room number to instantly view their folio and request hotel services.

*Children must be accompanied by a paying adult

EAST WINDS INN, ST. LUCIA - An Alberta Connection
East Winds Inn is nestled on the lush, tropical Island of St. Lucia. It’s an enchanting and secluded all-inclusive gem providing guests with a true Caribbean experience. For many return guests, Alberta natives George and Marilyn Reti will be familiar faces. Over the past 15 years they have returned to St. Lucia to take in the charms of East Winds Inn. Through acquiring this timeless seaside resort, they have integrated their love of St. Lucia and commitment to excellence into the East Winds Experience. Their vision as owners is to preserve and enhance the distinct character of the property.
The East Winds Inn is a true Caribbean paradise, set amongst 12 acres of lush, tropical gardens and bordered by a golden beachfront on one of St. Lucia’s most pristine bays. The resort is perfect for Canadian vacationers who value simple luxury in traditional Caribbean style. The all-inclusive resort is located next to the azure waters of La Brelotte Bay and offers guests an abundance of facilities to suite any taste. Award winning Caribbean and International cuisine can be savored at the open-air Flamboyant Room which features new menus nightly and a wine choices to match the evenings offerings. After dinner or anytime, cocktails can be enjoyed in the Almond Tree Bar or in the Bamboo Lounge where the resort’s jazz duo entertains nightly. Afternoon tea is served poolside in the elegant Jasmine Room every afternoon and guided nature walks are offered highlighting the indigenous plants, flowers, trees and birds found on the property. For those looking for a little more demanding tour, a Swedish Circuit Training track also winds its way through East Winds. There’s also Yoga classes, table tennis and an aesthetician available allowing quests to indulge in massages, manicures and pedicures in their own room or on the veranda surrounded by nature.

BEST SUNSET ROMANTIC DESTINATIONS

As you can probably guess, I love my job and serving brides with their honeymoon, destination wedding and romance travel needs. Here are some of the top sunset destinations for romance that I have come across during my adventures.

PUERTO VALLARTA AND RIVIERA NAYARIT
Stretching from the city of Puerto Vallarta, along the miles and miles of beautiful soft sand, and including Nuevo Vallarta, is the Riviera Nayarit, all of which face directly West. Some of the best resort room views can be had from the Dreams Puerto Vallarta, with two tower buildings - all rooms overlooking the beach and ocean, the Dreams Villamagna oceanview rooms with the jacuzzi located right on your balcony, the Villa Premiere with their over-size balconies and the RIU Palace upgraded oceanview rooms.

NEGRIL, JAMAICA
Since this part of Jamaica is located exactly West on the island, it affords amazing and breathtaking sunset views every night! Try the Riu Negril or Couples Negril for a romantic rendez-vous with the setting sun.

ARORANGI, COOK ISLANDS
On this Westerly side of the island of Rarotonga, are some spread-out and spoiled beachfront hotels that are blessed with the dancing orange array of colors of the sunset nightly. I like the Castaway Beach resort, The Crown Beach Resort and their beachfront and spacious bungalows, and the Edgewater for those looking for more of a panaromic sunset view from a high story level.

ST. JAMES, BARBADOS
Heading North of Bridgetown, you will go through a series of quaint seaside towns - with their sophisticated and quaint restaurants and hotels. The posh hotels would include the Four Seasons, Fairmont and Sandy Lane but those less expensive and all-inclusive and with the same sunset, are the Mango Bay, Almond Beach Club, and Almond Beach Village.

SOUFRIERE, CASTRIES, and RODNEY BAY, ST. LUCIA
This festive island basks in it's lush and natural greenery, a great contrast to the warm colors of the sunsetting sky. Here, Jade Mountain, which is perched high on a hill and has an infinity pool and no wall facing the land and sea, takes the cake for most romantic sunset views. If that is not within your budget, try Rendez-vous, the first couples-only resort concept. This quaint beachfront hotel has a beachfront and sophisticated restaurant, which is the ideal setting for watching the sun dip into the water. The modern Calabash Cove is also high on a hill so offers stunning sunset views, but the Bay Gardens Beach Resort offers that all-inclusive experience and beachfront atmosphere that so many wedding groups seek.

If you have any others to contribute and recommend, please send it to me at laurie@romanticplanet.ca

Happy Romance!
