Bring Four Guests on Vacation and Pay for One at Luxury Caribbean Resorts

New Summer Vacation Savings for Antigua and BVI Resorts Perfect for Families, Girls Getaways, Mini-Reunions

 

Elite Island Resorts, an award winning, Green Globe certified Caribbean hotel company, announces its most creative savings summer vacation program ever: “Pay for 1 & Bring Up to 4” on a Caribbean vacation! Guests pay only the published nightly all-inclusive or EP rate, which allows up to four persons to share a guestroom for select Antigua and BVI resorts.

 

The new summer Caribbean vacation savings are valid for travel from April 15 through August 30, 2010, when booked by July 15, 2010, and require a minimum three-night stay. Families, for instance can bring two kids for no additional cost. While four ladies traveling together might want to enjoy a girls getaway. Or two couples who always vacation together can enjoy this cost savings too.

 

“This summer why not pay one nightly rate on a luxury Caribbean vacation and bring four people? We think this new idea will fit in nicely with vacationers’ summer plans and offer an affordable option for families, girlfriend getaways and mini-reunions,” said Steven Heydt, Elite Island Resorts’ president.
