A beach per day... Gets the stresses away! A trip to Antigua and Barbuda
March and April ... x we have months of vacation smelling xche 'usually at this time we allow ourselves a break from work to relax and go somewhere exotic.
This year, for family reasons, we had to postpone a bit 'and we joined the masses of vacationers who used the mega-bridge on 25 April and 1 May.
We have not even had time to organize a great trip as we are usually accustomed to, which moreover allows us both to save and to visit places off the tourist circuit, but sometimes the last minute to decide who will be 'the goal where to put our butts in the sun has its charm.
The problem 'that until now we have a lot of imagination run free and destinations and then the choice is not' not easy.
We must consider several factors such as the one we'll be away only one week, we do not want to fly halfway around the world for so 'little time, we do not want to pay inflated odds from the catalog (and the goals you usually go out to tender have already' made all of them) and never return if possible where we are already 'been ... Well, putting together all these points and removing from the list places that we would like to visit in the future but with more 'calm, x short in the end we have focused on Antigua.
We had to choose between an all-inclusive package or a flight deals and hotel reservation separately.
The price was the same for both solutions and because we did not have time to do things "way" (as would say our friends in Modena) we opted for the package and April 28 we got on the charter flight after 14 hours and 'landed in Antigua.
(a note on the flight for tourists more 'demanding aircraft Livingston a bit' dated and devoid of personal monitor in the front seat entertainment with two films not exactly brand new, and food scarce in terms of quantity ')
After landing we got on the bus that took us to the Jolly Beach Resort. I had tried a bit 'of info online about this place before leaving and the opinions were all quite positive and agreed that the structure and' slightly antiquated.
We did not unbridled luxury but a place to be able to relax our neurons and thus for us was great.
The hotel 'really big, and so too is' the beach which is overlooked. E 'immersed in a lush well-kept garden and all rooms have more' or less the view of the sea that has some incredible colors. The types of rooms ranging from more 'simple, the Standard, to more' cured and elegant, but we have chosen the more 'economic and' the Supersaver.
I was told that it was very small and in fact ...
The initial impact and the 'state of slight discomfort xche' did not know where to place the stuff but then our spirit of adaptation and especially my big dowry organization took over and we were able to stand without even the most 'realize that space was truly minimized.
(Of course, x who wants to carry around so much stuff, he may have 'some' problems to fix them xche 'and the Wardrobe' and with very few small shelves and apart from this there is no 'other place to put things Apart from a small table supporting an alternative but can 'always choose a room more' comfortable)
The service offered by the hotel and 'All Inclusive and actually I would say that the only thing you have to worry about and' not to overdo the sunshine xche 'here is no joke at all.
Eating and drinking there are a desire '. We can not express opinions on the various restaurants xche 'we tried just the main buffet but I would say that hunger is not (though maybe the food is not' all that 'different ...).
The thing that 'more' satisfaction to the palate and 'sure the grill on the beach that allows lovers of gender, straffogarsi of hot dogs, hamburgers and fries all day (from 12 to 16:30) without even having to give a few minutes of sun, because you can 'eat comfortably on the beach and not even make the effort to put on a beach robes!
And if the heat starts to be unbearable and the shade of palm trees and umbrellas there cheer enough, you can always enjoy a fruit punch sitting in small tables placed in the water of the pool.
If after filling the stomach and you want to indulge in a nap sunbathers, the kiosk sports equipment will put you 'freely available to a good mattress and you can sit on very calm Caribbean waters while enjoying the sea breeze that will make' all very nice . Watch out for sunburn xo 'xche' this and 'the more' easy to get it!
In short, we say that ... probably will not be 'a 5 star, the food will not be' from the Red Lobster restaurant, but do their best not to leave anything for the guests.
If you really, really, we need to find a fault and 'that the water is not' perfectly crystalline but assumes that color slightly milky due to the moving of the sand (which is white). I do not know how it is possible because the sea and 'flat, but they say it's due to the period and that during our summer instead to be transparent ... will ', whatever the colors are really from the cover!
Having passed the early days of burning, we rented a car (careful, it should take a license and local driving and 'left) and with map in hand we went to explore the island.
Antigua and 'known as the island with 365 beaches ... one for each day of the year ... Certainly, we do not all time but I'm nevertheless decides to see a part.
We start from Jolly and ...
