Singles Caribbean Cruises

Singles today have lots of choices for meeting potential mates.  Gone are the days spent hanging out in the produce aisle or loitering at the laundromat.  Today’s savvy singles are usually meeting at clubs, on line — and even on cruise ships!

If you are a single person, some vacation choices may not be as appealing to you as they would be to a family of five.  You’re probably not too interested in couple’s dance lessons, video arcades or babysitting services.

What does interest you is having fun with other singles that share the same interests.  Singles Caribbean cruises can be the perfect option for getting away from it all, and spending time with interesting people.  You’ll have the chance to socialize and mingle, while enjoying the comforts and luxuries of a five star hotel, all aboard your spectacular cruise ship!   Read more . . .

An Island Vacation In The Caribbean

Ever since colonial periods, American visitors have loved to visit the Caribbean. These islands have been the favorite destination for most dream vacations. Over the past 50 years, tourism to the area has increased greatly,  and today millions of U.S. citizens visit the islands every year to enjoy all that the islands have to offer – beaches, thrilling water adventure, fun in the sun,  and communing with nature.

But just what exactly is it that makes the Caribbean so dramatically different from all other vacation destinations out there? And how could you increase your enjoyment during your Caribbean dream vacation?

In the Old ‘West Indies’

The Europeans were the first sets of explorers who came to the shores of the Caribbean.  At the time,  they were searching a sea route to India and when they found this tiny group of islands in the middle of the vast sea, they referred to it simply as the “West Indies.” They thought that they had landed in the Indies (then meaning all of east and south Asia) when in fact they had reached the Americas.  It was changed to the Caribbean later on, after the Caribs who were one of the dominant Amerindian groups in the area at the time of European contact.

Travel In Luxury To The Caribbean

Are you looking for some eco-luxury?  Tiamo, an environmentally-friendly resort composed of a row of wooden cottages that are simple and chic and simple at the same time, provides the ultimate in Caribbean luxury travel.   Scattered along a quiet strand of white powder on Andros island in the Bahamas, this Caribbean luxury travel resort is surrounded by giant lizards and orchids and offers nothing but relaxed comfort and ecological awareness.

This Caribbean luxury travel resort offers the ideal solution to the Caribbean’s more familiarly hedonistic piña colada and party resorts.

At Tiamo,  the Caribbean is summed up as barefoot luxury — refined and polished yet set in an environment that can only be described as natural.

Out of all the Bahamian islands in the Caribbean region, Andros is one of the less popular. Thanks to its relative obscurity, its subdued allure is what makes it even more attractive as a Caribbean luxury travel destination. With an area of 2,300 square miles and home to a mere 8,000 people, it is one of the least explored locations in the Western Hemisphere.

Don’t assume, however, that Andros is just one of those dime-a-dozen island destinations which the Caribbean is full of.   In fact, Andros is the largest island in the country so you have plenty of room to have fun and enjoy the warm Caribbean sun.   And because the island is still undeveloped, there are few bus lines, few phones, and other facilities that could detract you from your relaxing vacation.

In reality, the island is not just one island but a collection of islands tightly meshed into one archipelago.   With a web of streams and  its rocky shores,  this Caribbean luxury travel destination has never offered the kind of obvious harbor found on other Bahamian islands so, apart from the odd fishing lodge and Caribbean luxury travel retreats, development has largely overlooked it.   What has made the island unsuitable for urban evolution, however, makes it ideal for eco-tourism.

The Caribbean luxury travel resort of Tiamo is isolated,  in fact, even by Andros’ standards. Set three road less miles from the nearest village and surrounded by palm trees, orchids, herons, banana plants,  tiny tree frogs,  and some nasty mosquitoes,  Tiamo is only accessible to guests via boat.   Relying on its solar power system and solar-heated rainwater showers,   the resort stays true to its ecological philosophy but at the same time offers you with a tranquil retreat is incomparable anywhere else.

Tiamo’s wooden cottages are equipped with massive beds, hand-painted “do not disturb” signs,   brightly tiled mirrors and showers lean towards safari-chic,  especially when taken in with their  corrugated, painted-iron walls.   And in a witty twist on recycling,  even the wood left over from constructing the cottages were used to create this Caribbean luxury travel resort’s funky outdoor furniture.

But while the interiors are exceptional,  the main highlights of all the cottages are their open porches.   They have fans instead of air conditioning,  but you don’t need to be bothered about the heat.   The open sides of the cottages are designed to assist in keeping temperatures low.  Climate control aside,   the true beauty of these porches is that they offer you panoramic views of the forest and the beach.
