My room at Galley Bay

We decided to stay over night at a hotel not far from the airport so the Monday would not be too much of a long day. It was a very nice start to the holiday as we didn’t have to rush or be stressed out on the Monday morning and we avoided an early start as we had already checked in online.

I was surprised at how smooth everything went; we took the car to be parked, then got a transfer to the airport where we dropped off our bags. Now we were all ready to explore the duty free shopping within an hour of parking the car. This was great as I love Gatwick, there’s loads of shops to wander around. continue reading…

My second trip to the beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica provided me with what turned out to be an immensely unique experience; not only would I be presented with the opportunity of sampling the delights of the world famous Sandals resorts, but as an added bonus I would then go on to spend a further week in the luxurious company of Secrets.

What made this experience so particularly unique is that Sandals Whitehouse is widely regarded to represent the ‘traditional Caribbean’ whereas Secrets Wild Orchid very much so gives an insight into the modern and contemporary approach that Jamaica is now moving towards.

This wasn’t the first time I have been to Mexico; however it was the first time at this hotel.

El Dorado Royale is a lovely 5* adults only hotel. We arrived at the resort having been transferred from the airport by Jumbo Tours to be greeted with a fab glass of cold champagne. After checking in we were given an Ocean Front Suite at the furthest end of the resort. We were taken by golf buggy and at the same time given a tour of the property. continue reading…
