Jamaica’s north coast is heading to morning television. NBC’s TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle has announced plans to broadcast two full episodes from Jamaica on March 26 and 27, bringing co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones to Sandals Dunn’s River in Ocho Rios. The special shows, produced in partnership with the Jamaica Tourist Board and Sandals Resorts, will mark the inaugural on-location “Girls Trip” since Jones officially joined Hager […]
The approach into Belize City brings you over a patchwork of mangroves and tidal flats, the Caribbean shifting from deep blue to bands of bright turquoise as the reef rises beneath the surface. Small boats cut white lines across the water. Beyond the shoreline, the land turns dense and green. Spirit Airlines is now flying […]
The line at the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal moves steadily. Boats arrive from St. Maarten in tight intervals, passengers stepping onto the dock with beach bags and carry-ons. By early evening, tables along Meads Bay and Sandy Ground are fully reserved. Anguilla is moving at peak capacity — and the official numbers now match what […]
You land directly on Anguilla. The plane drops over the hillside and touches down at Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport. No connection in St. Maarten. No boat transfer. Within minutes, you’re in a car heading toward Shoal Bay East, where the sand runs long and white and the water stays calm and swimmable. For spring […]
Turks and Caicos has a certain look. It’s Grace Bay, beachfront towers, polished lobbies, and a destination where the best-known names tend to sit right on the sand. Kokomo Botanical Resort is something else entirely. You don’t arrive to a grand entrance on the beach. You arrive to gardens. You walk paths through thick tropical […]
At The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, the defining story has always been the service. Seven Mile Beach is beautiful. The rooms are refined. The spa is newly transformed. But what consistently separates this resort from its competitors is the precision and consistency of its hospitality. Returning guests are remembered. Preferences are noted and quietly executed. The […]
Pink sand runs uninterrupted for miles along Barbuda’s southwest coast. The shoreline is flat and wide. Low vegetation stretches inland. There are no high-rise resorts and no dense hotel clusters. Now Nobu is moving deeper into that landscape, several years after opening the beachfront Nobu eatery and club on the island. Nobu Hospitality has announced […]
Mayakoba has always been quieter than the rest of the Riviera Maya. The road disappears into mangroves. Water sits still in the lagoon channels. The beach feels buffered, with long stretches of white sand and very little of the outside world making it in. Now there’s a new resort inside that enclave. Hyatt Hotels has […]
There’s a particular kind of quiet you only get when your room is literally over water. Not a waterfront view from a balcony. Not a “near the lagoon” marketing line. Actual water under your feet, the kind you can see shifting from your bed and hear at the edge of your terrace. At Rosewood Mayakoba, […]
Some Caribbean hotels feel like they were discovered, not built — the kind of out-of-the-way places you imagine in old travel novels, where the road narrows, the coastline opens up, and the bay at the end feels like it belongs to you. The latest edition of Small Hotel of the Week takes you to the […]
Marriott International’s all-inclusive strategy in the Caribbean continues to widen — and Barbados is becoming one of its most important addresses. Crystal Cove, Barbados, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort has officially opened on the island’s West Coast, marking the first all-inclusive property under Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio brand. The 88-room resort represents another step in Marriott’s […]
Romance in the Caribbean often starts with the setting. A table close to the water. Low light. A breeze that makes you lean in a little closer. Across the region, there are certain dining rooms and beachside kitchens that couples return to again and again. Some are formal. Some are barefoot. All of them understand […]
