Want to get away?Try the Ladera Resort on St. Lucia island in the West Indies, or the Blue Diamond Resort in the Riviera Maya (the Mexican Caribbean).
LADERA RESORT
I saw this deal on Ideeli where you can save between 35%-50% off on a 7-night stay at this lovely mountain top resort. There are some limitations as to date and such, so I think that's why the sale is going on. The asking prices for the most affordable 7-night stay is $4,130.00 for a particular set of nights between July and September, for the Gros Piton Suite. At the discounted rate, it's $2,750.00 for the same stay. The six deals range up to the most luxurious stay, in the Hilltop Dream Suite from March through April, with an asking price of $8,302.00 and a discounted rate of $5,500.00! The views for any and all suites look simply amazing. The accommodations are similarly lovely. I like the private pool overlooking the hillside, as well as the luxurious sitting room, and oversized bed. It looks like there is a screen you can pull down from the ceiling on the outside to keep out instects, but there's the added protection of the canopy around the bed as well. My only question is, where are the bathrooms? I hope you don't have to venture to far out where the mosquitoes will likely devour you. I guess it'll depend on when you go. I'd love to go in September!
And if you were worried about food, don't be. The dining looks similarly exquisite. And who could ask for a better view while enjoying a romantic evening? If I had the time (and the funds), I would book up one of these trips immediately. I'd probably spend the first of the seven days relaxing and doing nothing but sip tropical drinks, sun myself by the pool, enjoy the scenery, eat delicate meals, and read while enjoying the company of Mike, hopefully! As long as he would want to go. But then, who wouldn't?!
BLUE DIAMOND RESORT
Another great place I'd like to go (also found in Ideeli) is the Blue Diamond Resort in the Mexican Riviera. I am in pain over how beautiful this experience is. The lowest asking price for a Cenote Deluxe Junior Suite for 2 Adults is $920 a night, discounted rate starting at $490 a night. The six deal package prices range up to a two night stay at the Palafitos Junior Suite for two adults with an asking price of $1,150.00 per night, discounted rate starting at $800.00 a night.
But then, who am I kidding? Having a chance to stay for a week or so at either of these lovely resorts would be a dream come true. Seriously... what wonderful resorts. I am definitely keeping these in the arsenal of "places I want to stay" one day. One day, one day. That seems to be my mantra, doesn't it? I think things are worse because I'm in Ithaca, where it isn't a snowy wonderland and it isn't nearly warm yet either. Dreary, really, to tell the truth. Oh well!
