Looking at the bright side of the economy
Resorts, cruise lines, and travel agencies are sensitive to financial woes, so they’re slashing their prices like I’ve never seen in my 20 years in this business. Whether you’re looking for a family vacation, maybe a romantic getaway, or a trip with your friends, my top picks for this week fit all of the above!
I found 6 amazing deals that adapt to the needs of different travelers.

The Barbados Beach Club is located directly on the beach on the scenic South Shore, a stone’s throw from the best shopping and nightlife.

two) Jamaica All Inclusive, Fun Holiday Beach Resort, Negril, Jamaica: I have been going to Negril for 15 years and what I like the most about it is that I still feel that REAL Jamaican feeling, there are still shops that are shacks with native food, music and drink. Yes, Negril has gotten more touristy over the years, but there is still an Island Reggae vibe that makes you feel like you’ve left civilization for a more peaceful and simple life. Negril is also one of the best beaches in the entire Caribbean.
