If what you’re looking for out of your winter vacation is sun, sun, and more sun, than you can’t choose a better spot than Cancun and you can’t choose a better Cancun hotel than Hotetur Beach Paradise Hotel. At this 3-star hotel, you can find it all in the name – not only is it plopped down right in the middle of the beach but there’s also a swimming pool. Both are complete with sunbeds and if you’re taking a dip in the pool and want something to nosh on, you can get it right at the swim-up bar!

There are many activities to choose from when you’re not having a snack or a swim and they mostly revolve around water sports so you can absorb everything the Caribbean Sea has to offer! Enjoy water polo, canoes, pedalos, and windsurfing, with a beautiful lagoon serving as your backdrop or for those times that you become waterlogged, you can also try volleyball, tennis, or check out the gym. Scheduled daytime activities include games, quizzes, and different competitions and at night, the hotel comes alive with a cabaret, karaoke, and bingo or just enjoy a nice cocktail and some company in the bar or lounge. Kids will love it here too with the playground and the hotel-run children’s club for kids aged 4-12.

At mealtime, you’ll have 3 different restaurants to choose from, one of which is buffet-style and open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The 2 a la carte restaurants are open for dinner only but if you want to enjoy any of that sumptuous, fresh lobster, you’ll have to pay extra as this is not part of the all-inclusive package.

And if all of that isn’t enough for you, you’ll only be 5 kilometers from shops, restaurants, and bars and you’ll be 10 kilometers from the resort’s centre. When you need to escape the wintery cold, this package at the Hotetur Beach Paradise Hotel, with all of its sand and sun definitely can’t be beat. Oh, and did we mention that the hotel is also specially designed so that you can drink in those beautiful views even when not right on the beach! Find this great deal at www.thomsonbeach.co.uk.

There’s no better place to head for true relaxation than Jamaica and here at the Point Village resort in Montego Bay, you will find the beauty of the Caribbean Sea, natural rock pools, and beaches with some of the whitest sand that you will find on earth! Add into this pretty picture beautiful tropical plants and trees, loaded with seasonal tropical fruit and you very well may have just stepped into paradise!

Point Village is close to 3 beaches; it sits just between Seven Mile Beach and Bloody Bay and is also just a short stretch away from Long Bay beach. You won’t have to go further than 8 kilometres to get to shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, but with everything the hotel has to offer, you may not want to venture too far from where you’ll be enjoying your stay! Before planning on any of the hotel’s facilities, be sure to check about age limits as many of the activities, including children’s and adults, have age restrictions. Take a dip in the hotel’s swimming pool or whirlpool and take full advantage of the complimentary sun loungers, sun terraces, and showers, or visit either one of the two small beaches just a short hop from your room!

There are two restaurants, one is buffet-style and one a la carte. The a la carte restaurant is only open during the evening and no meals here will be included with the all-inclusive package. However, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served as part of the package in the buffet-style restaurant. Snacks are also served at certain times in between meals. Drinks are unlimited whether you want a hot drink, cool refreshment, or an alcoholic cocktail but no international brands are included. To make up for that, drinks are available for at least 12 hours every day!

Spend your day playing basketball, beach volleyball, kayaking, snorkeling, sunfish sailing, tennis, windsurfing, and you can even get one free scuba diving lesson in the pool! Evenings here are casual and can be enjoyed in the nightclub that is open 4 days a week and some other scheduled entertainment. Throw in a Kiddie’s Centre, beauty treatments, and massages, and for £769, really is a great deal! Find out how you can find out the true meaning of relaxation from the website www.directline-holidays.co.uk.
