Mediocre food is often an irritation at all-inclusive properties but we found Secrets to take its food choices and preparation very seriously.
Carnival Breeze: Multi-generation Cruising
Although adults can and do have a fabulous time aboard a Carnival ship, the emphasis for us on this cruise was on the grandchildren. They were never bored.
Europa 2 – World’s Best Cruise Ship?
As expected on a ship of this quality, all our meals were excellent. In Europa 2’s Japanese restaurant, Sakura, we enjoyed Sushi and giant tempura shrimp (who knew a German ship could produce such excellent sushi?).
Sandals Grenada – Pure Luxury on The Spice Island
Sandals LaSource Grenada is laid out in a series of “Villages” along a stretch of Pink Gin Beach. The water is warm, calm and crystal-clear and filled with tropical fish.
The Mexico Twelve – Multi-Generational Travel
It took a lot of planning and co-ordination to find a week and location suitable for our three adult children, their spouses and our five grandchildren aged 5 to 15, but the all-inclusive resort we all agreed on was a gem.
Scotland – History, Cuisine and Single Malt
Our visit was just six days but we had a taste of both major cities, plus, to the north, the most intensive whisky producing region in the world.
Princess Gets the Royal Treatment
After enjoying the hotel and the Florida coast for two days (we always try to arrive early for a cruise) we boarded the Royal Princess, the newest, largest and most glamorous in the Princess fleet. Launched in Britain last year by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, the 3500-passenger ship is loaded with innovations designed to keep loyal Princess guests happy while attracting a new generation of cruisers who demand good value along with sophistication and elegance.
A Mexican All-inclusive Features Fabulous Food
The award-winning Grand Velas Riviera Maya, situated just south of Cancun near Playa del Carmen, certainly has a great beach, inviting swimming pools, huge stylish rooms with jacuzzis and a can-do service attitude. What sets the five-year-old resort apart is the high level of its cuisine, not just in the five specialty restaurants but in room service and the three anything-but-ordinary buffet and a la carte eating places.
Germany – Wine, Food and Fine Cars
The authors travel by train through central Germany, sampling local wines, enjoying the unique regional food, and touring the Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Colorado Calling
Colorado is an immense state (8th largest in the US) with four national parks, 41 state parks and more than 50 mountains that soar more than 4000 metres above sea level. From the Blue Bear to the Blues Train, the Centennial State offers a kaleidoscope of attractions.
