LUXURY SUITES 55% OFF
Treasure Beach Hotel, the elegant boutique resort in Barbados, announces eye-opening discounts on newly renovated suites, beginning at just $250 a night for two. And that’s only the beginning.
(Paynes Bay, Barbados, February, 2007) This spring, summer and fall, rates for the 14 Garden View Suites at the newly restyled Treasure Beach Hotel on Paynes Bay will be $265 a night for two -- $500 less than the winter rate.
“For the past 30 years, Treasure Beach Hotel has been the secret Barbados getaway for Europeans, mostly British, but now we want to make its attractions more widely known to American sun worshippers. That’s why we’ve slashed the rates on our least expensive accommodations, not just by a token 20% or 30%, but by 55%. I’ll tell you this without fear of contradiction: $265 for a suite that costs $765 in winter is the best deal on Barbados, maybe in the entire Caribbean.”
Guests who pay a few dollars more can have one of the spectacular new luxury suites, with private plunge pools, for $765 rather than the winter rate of $1,775. That’s the sort of eye-opening offer that makes want to reconsider your vacation plans for the entire year: just $765 for a plunge pool suite so close to the beach it’s almost on the sand. (Note: These low season rates begin on May 1, 2007 and run through October 27, 2007. They are for room only but include service charge and valued added tax, VAT.)
More Options, More Savings
* Seven for six. Stay 7 nights and Treasure Beach will give you the seventh night free. Any suite. Anytime, May 1 through December 21. Pay for six, get seven -- go shopping with the savings.
* Two for 75%. Book two suites and you pay only half-price for the second suite (the “second” being the less expensive of the two suites).
* Kids free. Children under 12 who share a suite with their parents stay free of charge.
• B.O.B. The “Best of Barbados” program gives visitors island-wide discounts.
Guests of Treasure Beach who book two suites or share with children can enjoy even more discounts by combining their stay with the B.O.B bargains. Complicated? Sort of, but log on to www.bestofbarbados.com and everything will be explained in detail.
The 34-suite Treasure Beach recently emerged from a six-month, $2.5-million rejuvenation that upgraded every suite and added three premium suites with private plunge pools on their verandahs. New contemporary touches include plasma-screen televisions, wireless Internet access, designer bathrooms and Temple Spa amenities. But the new, improved Treasure Beach is still the prime choice for discerning vacationers and honeymooners looking for an intimate retreat, friendly atmosphere and personal, manor-house-style service.
“Even with all the new luxury amenities,” adds GM Hamish Watson, “even with the beachside pool suites that make us one of the island’s outstanding beach resorts, we are still, as you can see, one of the island’s best values.”
