St. Kitts A-I Deal $299/N per Family; More Tropical Resorts on Sale
An escape from the troubles and stresses of everyday life has never been more necessary for a family. And as the economy continues its downfall, great travel deals are becoming more and more common, but selecting the right one is key. If your family craves a "super" escape where all the details are taken care of as you lounge in the sun, head to beautiful St. Kitts in the West Indies and stay at Frigate Bay's St. Kitts Marriott Resort & The Royal Beach Casino.
A 26-acre paradise, with three outdoor swimming pools, this Marriott is minutes away from the airport and St. Kitts' capital Basseterre. Featuring countless fun and family-friendly activities, including kayaks, water bikes, pedal boats and even a water trampoline in the sparkling blue waters, the hotel also boasts an incredible Kid's Club for the little ones ages 5- to 12-years-old.
Available from now until December 18, 2009, the Super Escape Inclusive Package includes accommodations in one of the hotel's 570-plus rooms. Families can opt to stay in the main, four-story Frigate Bay House in order to be closer to the front desk, spa, the Kids Club, casino and arcade. Or if a more secluded vacation with much quicker access to the beach and pools is desired, families may dwell in one of the 19 three-story garden houses spread throughout the resort's grounds. Each guestroom is designed with a West Indies influenced décor and since cots and cribs are available upon request, a small family can easily fit in one of the oversized rooms.
Additionally, all meals are included in the package, including daily snacks at the poolside Bohemia and Calypso Café and three-course dinners at any of the hotel's eateries: Blu, La Cucina and the Royal Grille Steakhouse. Note, however, that there is a $35 surcharge per person to eat at the steakhouse. Plus, all drinks, including unlimited beer, house wine, premium liquor cocktails, soda and bottled water, are also part of the package.
Families who book the package are also entitled to use all non-motorized water sports on the premise, the tennis courts and the kid's and teen's clubs. Mom and dad will love using the $10 Match Play Coupon in the 35,000-square-foot casino. And the discounts are also enticing; 20% on golf merchandise and spa retail items.
Finally, for every room booked, each family can choose two of the following options to enjoy during their stay: a round of golf at the 18-hole Royal St. Kitts Golf Club, the only course in the Caribbean that has holes on both the Atlantic and Caribbean shores. (Note: that the Marriott offers a program to kids under 16-years who can golf for free so they can join mom and dad on the green). Other choices include a Casino Value Package or a spa treatment in the Emerald Mist Spa.
In a garden view room, the package starts at $299/N per room. Depending on the date of your stay and your accommodations, the rates can go up to $600/N and a 3N minimum is required -- so plan ahead for the best rates and dates. For this deal, "kids" are considered as those under 13, but your teens can join in and share your room and pay only $99 each per night, also a good value. To book this deal, contact your travel agent, visit www.stkittsmarriott.com or call 869/466-1200 and use the promotional code NCL.
