Help! Upscale Resorts
 
Can anyone make suggestions for a stay between xmas & new years! We are five people travelling and are looking for a something in line with say Sandy Lane, Barbados, or Cap Juluca. Anyone have any suggestions?

This season! Good luck, I would bet a lot of money all are fully booked. Try Jumby Bay, Four Seasons Nevis, Peter Island, Biras, etc. Have you been to the 3 you mentioned-Sandy Lane might have room, CuisinArt on Anguilla,get a villa on Anguilla or Virgin Islands.<BR>Even getting a plane should be hard!

Good Luck is right, Jumby Bay is re-opening after being renovated 12/15 - booked, 4S Nevis is another hot spot - booked ( I read that they are gearing up for the celebrity clients this holiday season). I booked Biras 6 months in advance and they had only 1 cottage left, not the one I wanted. Anguilla - is booked!<BR><BR>UH by the way Hellooo! Wake up! you need at least 6 months to book a vacation during holiday season. Its when everyone wants to go away. That's why its called High Season. And you need a vacation for 5?<BR>Ho Ho Ho Home For the Holidays!

Most of the high end resorts do have a 10 day minimum over the holidays. If it's on line checking you are doing for availablitly, often a call to the resort or a travel agent can find out for you the actual availability since not all sites are accurate. Many folk do book for the next year before departing so you are at a big disadvantage btw.
