Jess has just returned from an exciting trip to Grenada. It was her first time visiting the island and she loved seeing some of our most popular hotels first hand, as well as exploring everything else that this unique destination has to offer.
Kate has recently returned from a busy week in Barbados, visiting hotels and exploring the island. As the newest member of the Tropic Breeze sales team, she found it an amazing experience to be able to see the hotels we sell first hand and get a real feel for the destination.
The beautiful island of Bequia is the second largest of the Grenadine islands – a chain of small islands stretching around 50 miles from St Vincent in the north to Grenada in the south. The Grenadines are an ideal destination for those looking to experience something a little more off the beaten track and offer some of the best snorkelling and sailing in the Caribbean. Bequia is an authentic island hideaway. It exudes character and charm in equal measure and works well as either a standalone destination or as a twin-centre with islands such as Barbados or St Lucia.
Jo and Mark have just returned from a fantastic couple of weeks in Barbados. They found the island to be as warm and welcoming as ever and spent their time exploring the island, trying out new restaurants (as well as re-visiting some old favourites!) and visiting some of the hotels we work closely with.
Tropic Breeze were proud sponsors the Autumn Series of the Yealm Yacht Club this year, our local club, which is just a stone’s throw from our offices in Devon. The series ran from 5th September to 17th October, and they were lucky enough to have some amazing weather for the last race of the series!
Grenada is known as the ‘Spice island’ of the Caribbean due to the fragrant scent of the nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla produced on the island. But did you know that Grenada is also home to five chocolate factories? Chocolate is such an important part of the island’s culture and traditions that it even has a dedicated festival – The Chocolate Fest – to celebrate all things chocolate!
Grenada is probably best known as the home of Grand Anse Beach – a beautiful 2 mile stretch of classically Caribbean palm fringed shore and one of the world’s most famous beaches. With a superb range of hotels and resorts, ranging from five star all inclusive luxury to boutique family run hotels, it is easy to see why the island is so popular with those looking for sun, sea and sand. But there is so much more to Grenada than its stunning beaches, and we’d like to share our recommendations with you on how to get the most out of your next holiday to this tropic paradise!
Tropic Breeze founder, Jo Plummer, has been on the move again – this time staying at the rustic all-inclusive adult-only resort, COCOS Hotel. Antigua is an increasingly popular Caribbean holiday destination known for having 365 beaches, one for each day of the year. Visitors to the island can explore the stunning coastline, soak up the local history and culture or take part in water sports such as sailing, which is particularly popular thanks to the superb weather conditions.
Tropic Breeze founder, Jo Plummer, recently travelled to St Lucia, spending a few nights at Anse Chastanet, a very unique and individually styled resort with a real emphasis on the natural beauty of the island and the surrounding landscape – a perfect escape. She also visited Jade Mountain, it’s sister resort with striking architecture and luxurious suites. The two resorts offer breathtaking views over the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons.
Tropic Breeze founder, Jo Plummer, recently spent a few days at St Lucia’s world class all inclusive lifestyle resort – BodyHoliday. The mantra of “give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind” underpins the resort’s schedule of activities combined with a daily spa treatment … you really can choose to be as active or as relaxed as you please, particularly with the beach and Caribbean Sea temptingly set out before you.
