Casa Colonial Beach Spa Puerto Plata Dominican Republic Definitely the Best Resort in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic. When you ask people in the travel business where to stay, invariably the response is the Casa Colonial. That is powerful. They also will tell you it is the only genuine five star hotel in the Dominican Republic. It only has 50 large well furnished rooms, superb bathrooms, a great restaurant, superb staff, and it isn't all inclusive, and is on its own private beach. It is quiet, the building is attractive, and there are some real monstrosities nearby by comparison. The resort can best be described as serene and a great place to chill out.What makes the Casa Colonial different is that it is mansion style, and looks like an old colonial building as befits its name, and appropriately the words old world elegance really sum it up. Perfect for a Dominican Republic honeymoon, or a romantic break for two lovers who love good food in exquisite surroundings. This is not the place for an exhuberant family. For more information and prices for the Casa Colonial Beach CLICK HERE

We take you to an amazing small private island right next to Stonetown in Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean for the second of our Worldwide Vacation Spots

Chapwani Private Island Zanzibar  Chapwani Island sits about a mile offshore of Stonetown the capital of spice island Zanzibar, and is a very interesting place to stay, to get a real feel for Zanzibar. Chapwani is basic possibly a half way point between a safari and a hotel, but everyone who has stayed there would not have missed it for anythingl. From the photographs it appears to be an idyllic tropical island, although the reality is slightly different.It sits on old dead coral, but has a beauty all of its own. There is a huge colony of fruit bats which fly off spectacularly at dusk, and a number of small antelope.Chapwani also contains a British Military cemetry from the first world war, and a graveyard containing the graves of men who died fighting the slave trade.There are five thatched bungalows called bandas, each has two rooms which are ensuite. The accommodation can best be described as basic, but attractive. The food is very much fish based, and local delicacies,extremely well cooked, but with limited choices.

 We now travel to Scotland for the third of our Worldwide Vacation Spots

Turnberry Hotel Ayrshire Scotland is on the west coast of Scotland, in Ayrshire, overlooking Ailsa Craig, on a hillside, with the famous Turnberry Golf Links spread out below, and the Isle of Arran in the distance. It is one of the very top hotels in Scotland, and  a superb place for golfers and immense luxury for non golfers. The arrival is spectacular, the frontage amazing, and in the evening there is a lone bagpiper outside the front which looks massive and baronial. The rooms are  spacious and comfortable with all modern facilities, the food is exceptional. The breakfast alone could keep you going all day, dinner in the 1906 is quite superb, and the views through the window of Ailsa Craig, and the golf course are stunning. You can of course book golf packages and the courses redolent with history are quite superb, as a golfer, it is paradise, and to play your golf where the greats have played is a special experience. For the non golfer the spa, the pool and the sauna are modern and well worth using Find out more about the Turnberry Hotel, prices etc CLICK HERE

 The fourth of our Worldwide Vacation Spots is in the far north of Australia

The Angsana Great Barrier Reef has the most amazing position at Palm Bay north of Cairns on the east coast of Australia right at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef, and it is the only resort on Palm Bay with direct access to the beach. There are sixty seven spacious luxurious air conditioned extravagantly furnished suites. As you will be right on the beach it would be a great idea to book an ocean front suite. For those used to European size suites, the accommodation is massive. There is a fully equipped kitchen, and laundry, a large lounge and a dining area, and two bathrooms. There is only one restaurant but you don't have to go far to find other good restaurants to eat in. There are three swimming pools and a heated jet pool. The emphasis is on the beach, but swimming is tricky for more than six months in the year because of the jellyfish stinging risk, although there is an area protected by nets.The Angsana Spa as you would expect from Angsana is an award winning experience with a huge selection of treatments that are unique to the resort. Finally the Angsana offers unrivalled close access to the very north of the Great Barrier Reef. Find out more about the Angsana Great Barrier Reef costs etc, CLICK HERE

 We travel to the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean for the fifth of our Worldwide Vacation Spots

 Biras Creek Virgin Gorda BVI known to be one of the very best luxury destinations in the Caribbean, it is accessible only by boat or helicoptor. Therefore if seclusion is important, exclusivity, and all inclusive then Biras Creek could be just right for you. Accommodation is in suites with two to a cottage, each has a separate lounge, bedroom, and outdoor living area. The suites are spacious, simple and unfussy, and peaceful apart from the sounds of the sea. The variety and quality of the food is an outstanding feature. The view from the restaurant which overlooks the North Sound matches the food, as breathtaking. There really is as much or as little to do as you want. Each suite comes with two bicycles, and you need to get out and about on them and explore. The beach where you sunbathe is a twenty minute walk, but no time at all by bike.It is a fabulous place to sit, read, enjoy the views and just escape from life's pressures. The best description is one of quiet elegance, and strangely enough if you are the kind of person who loves it here, you will make friends because it attracts like minded people.There is a very high proportion of their guests that return. Find out more about Biras Creek CLICK HERE

 

Staying in the Caribbean for the sixth of our Worldwide Vacation Spots we go to a small island off the coast of Guadeloupe

Auberge Les Petits Saints Terre-de-Haut Guadeloupe  is on the island of Terre-de-Haut which is one of the islands of Les Saintes off the south coast of Guadeloupe, and they count amongst the most beautiful islands anywhere in the Caribbean. Whilst everything is very French, it is more a Breton France than anything. The Auberge is situated on a steep hill above the harbour, and is a wooden gingerbread style house covered in bougainvillaea. It is delightfully small and friendly, with ten rooms, and an apartment sleeping six to eight people. Best described as a Caribbean Inn, It is a ten minute walk down into the town which is really old fashioned in appearance. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate. Mostly you will probably eat out, although evening meals at the Hotel Auberge are top quality with excellent service, and a great romantic ambience. Food portions everywhere on Terre-de-Haut are huge. It's however so much fun to take a walk in the evening and sample the local fare. A smattering of French is a help because the locals much prefer it if you at least try. Terre-de-Haut is lovely, and The Auberge les Petits Saints is the best place by far on the island. However don't tell too many folk, there are places that should be kept secret. For more information about Auberge Les Petits Saints CLICK HERE

 The seventh of our Worldwide Vacation Spots takes us all the way to the Arabian Sea off the west coast of India

The Bangaram Island Resort Lakshadweep  in the Arabian Sea,you will find it 200 miles to the west of Kerala on the southwest coast of India. If your idea of a perfect honeymoon is an uninhabited tropical island with lush vegetation, surrounded by soft white sand beaches and a turquoise sea contrasting sharply with the blue sky and the green island, then Bangaram will be your island paradise. As a bonus the island is surrounded by a huge lagoon, and within easy reach are another three islands.If you are feeling energetic you can sail, windsurf or kayak to these beautiful islands, but quite frankly why leave paradise. For those people who have been to the Maldives, but feel they are now over commercialised the best way to describe Bagaram is probably to compare it to a Maldivian island before they became popular and full of five star resorts. There are however the same coral reefs, but masses more fish, and the array of colours you will never forget. Bangaram is definitely not for people who need five star resorts will everything that means. On the other hand if you are a Robinson Cruso at heart and the thought of being a castaway on a romantic tropical island, almost alone with the person you love, then Bagaram is perfect. Just be aware it is somewhat basic, and would probably be the perfect place to come in conjunction with a few days in Kerala. For more information about The Bangaram Island Resort CLICK HERE 

The eighth of our worldwide vacation spots is in Goa

The Bougainvillea Guest House Candolim Goa The Bougainvillea Guest House, a stone’s throw from Sinquerim Beach one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa proves you don’t need a five star  resort to enjoy a vacation . To call the location idyllic would not do it justice, and what makes it even more appealing is the fact that you are within the sounds and smells of the real Goa. Here at the Bougainvillea Guesthouse you see, feel, and touch the real Goa. This quaint little guest house is built in the Portugese Colonial style, copying older mansions, and has some elegance to it. The Bougainvillea prides itself on the very personal touch of Lourenco and his staff, and the ambience they create makes you feel very comfortable, almost part of their family. It would be fair to say that one of the outstanding features of the Bougainvillea Guest House is the attention to detail. It is a whole lot of small things which put together help to make it the outstanding place to stay. By this is meant the overall spotlessness, the service, and of course the staff who without exception are both lovely and extremely helpful, and they make a nice little Guest House into brilliant.The Bougainvillea Guest House Goa consists of six very stylish suites. There is no real restaurant as such, but the breakfasts outside are a work of art. Eating out in Goa is easy and inexpensive, so Lourenco will soon sort out where you are going to eat, and it isn’t far at all to the beach and the village of Candolim. There is a very good kitchen and Lourenco and his staff will cook for you on request, and even buy in fresh seafood. For more information about the Bougainvillea Guest House CLICK HERE

 For the ninth of our Worldwide Vacation Spots we return to the Caribbean to Aruba

The Bucuti Tara Beach Resorts Aruba   is a small intimate hotel far from the masses, and more importantly their children on Eagle Beach which is arguably the best beach in Aruba with unbelievably beautiful sunsets. Access to the immaculate beach is immediate, with no roads to cross. It’s also great to easily get a palapa to sit under, and no fighting for sunbeds. The rooms at the Bucuti Hotel are simple and clean, and if you can afford a Tara Suite, then go for it, if not pay extra for a seaview room and be able to catch the full glory of the amazing sunsets. Breakfast is included , which is a huge buffet, and the food at lunch and dinner is excellent with huge portions.The staff do go the extra mile for the guests and are also friendly. There is an excellent spa, where you will get great massage. Beach walking is a delight with lovely soft sand, and no people. If you want a gamble then there is a casino just a few paces away. As the resort doesn’t allow families with small children it is peaceful and quiet, even when it is full, which is a tribute to the layout, and the quantity of sunbeds, and palapas. You might have to rise early if you want a particular position but otherwise you will not have any problems at all. The red flag system on the beach is a good one. Having been helped with your beach lounger by a member of staff and given your towels you get a red flag to stick in the sand if you want food or drink, and you will get prompt service too. There is a very high returning guest percentage.For more information about the Bucuti Tara Beach Resorts Aruba CLICK HERE

The tenth of our Worldwide Vacation Spots takes us to Vietnam

 Nam Hai Hotel Hoi An Vietnam The Nam Hai Hotel is certainly developing a reputation as the best Beach Resort in Vietnam. It sits on the east coast on a beautiful stretch of white sand beach known as Ha My beach close to the historic city of Hoi An. This Spa Resort consists of 60 elegant one bedroom villas, each with indoor and outdoor sitting areas, and a lavish bathroom opening onto a private garden with an outdoor shower. There are 40 one, two, three, four and five bedroomed  villas all with almost unobstructed views over the South China Sea, each with its own kitchen and a private pool. The best bit of the pool villas is that you get your own private personal butler and it is little touches like this that makes the Nam Hai Hotel the perfect honeymoon vacation resort. As a hotel you will find the Nam Hai  has so much space that it never seems at all busy, even when it is full, which is ideal for a honeymoon vacation resort. It is also very much on its own with no other hotels nearby which is nice.  Outside the villa, there are three infinity pools which have amazing views of the ocean, and the staff around the pool are incredibly helpful but remain unobtrusive, always a sign of a great luxury hotel. The beach is long, deserted, but no chairs on the beach itself.In terms of the meals at the Nam Hai Hotel, the Vietnamese and Thai specialities are particularly good, and the food is excellent. If you want to go to Hoi Nam, where there a number of very good restaurants. there is free transport, but taxis are pretty cheap anyway. Nam Hai hotel is quite unique and close enough to the culture of Vietnam, that if you get bored you can soon immerse yourself in the culture being close to the imperial capital of Hue. Finally everyone on the staff of the Nam Hai hotel are very anxious to please, always polite, enthusiastic, especially to practise their English. For more information about the Nam Hai Hotel Hoi An CLICK HERE
