On-Site St. Thomas: What it’s Like to Stay at Bolongo Bay

More of that great Bolongo Bay beach/SBPR

Remember a few weeks ago when I set out to discover the soul of St. Thomas, that decidedly well-traveled sister island to my beloved St. Croix? I had high hopes of discovering the types of unique experiences, unexplained attractions and unmitigated “locals-only” fun that would support my theory that the uncommon exists in all Caribbean destinations, no matter how touristy. Over the course of the past year and change I had already successfully proven my theory in such popular ports as Grand Cayman, Aruba, Montego Bay and Grand Bahama Island. Surely St. Thomas would yield similar success, right…?!
Yeah, umm… no.

Deal of the Week: Web-Only Savings of 20% Off Blue Tulum

Seis de Mayo – the dreaded day after.
Most of us overdid it last night reveling in memory of that most unlikely of military triumphs by the Mexican army over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Wait, what? I lifted my annual 364-day ban on killing my brain with tequila for the battle of where?
That’s right, Cinco de Mayo is not the independence celebration that most of us think it is (Mexican Independence Day is actually September 16). Apparently, Corona’s favorite holiday isn’t even celebrated very widely in Mexico.
No matter, Uncommon Caribbean likes a good party and really any reason will do. But here, now, amidst the wreckage of another epic fiesta, we’re ready for an escape to Tulum.

Deal of the Week: Aruba 60% Off

Courtesy SBPR Corp./Holiday Inn Resorts Caribbean

For many in the U.S., the mere notion of a Holiday Inn “resort” is uncommon. Holiday Inn properties from coast to coast are generally city or roadside hotels; short on frills, but long on cleanliness, value and service. Holiday Inn Resorts Caribbean (there are two: one in Jamaica, the other in Aruba) embody these admirable core values, while also matching the endless amenities and full-throttle fun of “sexier” resorts throughout the region.
For 2010, the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba is kicking value up a notch by putting virtually the entire year on-sale. Savings of 60% off published all-inclusive rates are available through the start of next winter.
