When you think of St Vincent what springs to mind? If it is that it is another small non-descript Caribbean island then this could not be further from the truth. St. Vincent is a small island with a big heart full of culture, beautiful scenery, eco-adventures, amazing sailing and opportunities to cruise to remote Grenadian Islands for a taste of secluded Paradise.

The newest addition to St. Vincent, Buccament Bay Resort, embraces all of these attributes and by adding its own stamp has combined to create a Unique Luxury 5* Resort. Buccament Bay has a 180 degree view of the surrounding lush green mountains and rainforest, while the other 180 degree view is of a pure white sandy beach and the blue millpond that is the Caribbean sea, with views of Bequila and Mustique it is the perfect setting for a perfect property.

On arrival we walked across the bridge into resort and were met by the Management Team. We were presented with a choice of 3 drinks, cold towels and even a Steele band – a welcome fit for a King and Queen. This treatment continues throughout your stay at Buccament Bay. The staff are the friendliest most sincere people I have had the pleasure to meet. Their enthusiasm for their own Island, culture and job is infectious and within a matter of days we were all on first name terms. Read what their Wedding Coordinator, Gennine, had to say about her job and what it means to her – it will bring a tear to your eye!

A word from your Wedding Coordinator, Gennine…

‘Now I make everyone else’s dreams come true. Believe it or not, my very first wedding was somewhat of a breakthrough for me because the couple wanted a simple wedding. They really didn’t want to spend that much, but I made it the wedding of their dreams and they didn’t know that everything I used to make it happen was my own personal things for my own wedding. It was a pleasure seeing the joy in their faces and to see the bride well up with emotion, that made it more concrete that I was meant to do this. Ever since, I have been putting the same passion and love into everyone’s wedding because I live my dream through them and with each and every couple, I learn so much. I learn about love, I learn about forgiveness and trust because they all have their own stories that lead up to where they are today. Buccament Bay is amazing and has a lot of amazing people working as one team. I really wouldn’t have it any other way’ – Gennine, Buccament Bay Wedding Coordinator continue reading…

Jamaica Tourist Board Fam Trip

After a fantastic flight with British Airways where we were lucky enough to be upgraded to Business Class we arrived well rested into Kingston, Jamaica.

Any preconceptions that we had about Kingston were soon dissipated on checking into the Courtleigh Hotel & Suites, a traditional hotel with wonderfully appointed rooms, staff and fantastic food.

Kingston is truly the heart of Jamaica; it has a lively Nightlife with new clubs springing up everywhere. There is also the opportunity to visit the Appleton’s Estate for a Rum or two or a short drive into the mountains you can visit the Infamous Blue mountain Coffee plantation, all on Kingston’s doorstep. continue reading…
