CARIBBEAN HOTELS
 BEACH PICNIC ON VIRGIN
GORDA. Explore the
British Virgin islands beaches with Rosewood Little Dix Bay’s
complementary Beach Drop service,
providing shore-to-shore transportation via Boston Whaler to eight
remote and
stunning beaches around the island. Devil’s Bay is mere steps
from those
amazing boulders at The Baths. A delicious picnic lunch can be
prepared
to accompany you. It’s the perfect, intra-island escape for
honeymooners and
privacy seekers. On your return to the resort, wind down
even further
with a relaxing massage at Sense Spa to repair any sun damage. Low
season rates
start at $395. www.littledixbay.com
 MARLEY
RESORT AND SPA/BAHAMAS--Bold
reds, greens and golds mingle with earthtones both indoors and
out at this seaside hideaway. Reggae
music plays in the background; and the aroma of favorite Jamaican foods
wafts
from the kitchen. But we're in Nassau/Cable Beach, not in Jamaica.
True to the Marley legend, rooms
in Jamaican decor are named Kinky
Reggae, Easy Skankin’ and Lively Up Yourself, and of course, the
Honeymoon Suite is called One Love. Simmer Down
restaurant
serves Ital
pepper pot with Irie green salad, and the Stir It Up sports
bar is the hangout for a Red Stripe or exotic signature drinks with
names
reflecting
Marley’s roots. Marley
Resort & Spa is a nostalgic
piece of Reggae Jamaica
set down—very surprisingly but authentically—on a scenic coastal cliff
in The
Bahamas.
