Happy All Hallow's Eve....

Boo!

HOT New Hotels! Two New Paradisus Resorts coming to Mexico!

That sand... that WATER!!! 

Soon, you can enjoy two new Paradisus Resorts in Mexico. The family friendly Paradisus La Esmeralda and the adults only Paradisus La Perla, located next to each other on one of the prettiest stretches of beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

The luxuriously comfortable decor, true to Paradisus style, can be found in the living spaces:

Sleeping rooms...

And bathrooms...

The Paradisus Playa del Carmen features a two-in-one resort concept with La Perla exclusively for adults and La Esmeralda perfectly family friendly and suitable for every traveler. The El Zocalo area between the resorts features restaurants, bars, and entertainment. Guests from both resorts have free access to El Zocalo freely, making this complex perfect for multi-generational travel & Destination Weddings where some guests might prefer the exclusivity of the adults only section and others don't want to leave the kids behind but both want to spend at least a few important hours together every day.

PARADISUS PLAYA DEL CARMEN LA PERLA OPENS ON NOV 15, 2011

PARADISUS PLAYA DEL CARMEN LA ESMERALDA OPENS ON NOV 30, 2011

Spice of India, St. Lucia - Restaurant Review

It's no secret that I love Indian food. It is my ultimate go-to comfort food. This has something to do with the fact that Indian cuisine is a party for the senses... the deep smells of at least a dozen fragrant spices blending together, the rich taste of creamy curries... from the first bite of crunchy salty papadam to the sweet smoothness of my finale of preference; cardamon rice pudding, the smells, tastes, and textures of Indian food keep every meal exciting. 

I tend to seek out Indian Restaurants no matter where I am in the world. My Babymoon Vacation to St. Lucia in March was no exception. {I learned early on in my pregnancy that my twins had no aversion to spicy Indian food - for that I was thankful.}

While in St. Lucia, we were lucky enough to spend a few wonderful meals with the very engaging Chef Orlando from the famed Dasheene Restaurant at Ladera Resort. It was at his suggestion, that we met up for dinner at Spice of India in Rodney Bay. The meal was divine! The master chef takes full advantage of all of the fresh local ingredients St. Lucia has to offer. Being known as an island of spice, the fresh spices made a noticeable difference to familiar recipes.

I highly recommend Spice of India next time you visit St. Lucia. Find them on Facebook for their latest news.

Are you ready to start planning your St. Lucia Vacation? St. Lucia has dozens of wonderful hotels & resorts. There are two airports on the island. The northern airport is best served by American Airlines and the southern airport is served by all other major carries, including Delta Airlines. Drop us a line with the details - we'd be happy to help you plan!
