Saint Vincent by Cheryl Locke


In December 2012, I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit the beautiful island of Saint Vincent, courtesy of British Airways and Harlequin Hotels and Resorts.

Buccament Bay Resort, is a brand new luxury, 5-star, all inclusive destination which I defy anyone to dislike!

St.Vincent itself is an unspoilt tropical island, with rainforests, mountains, secluded coves and with clear warm waters perfect for diving and snorkeling, what more could anyone want! And located on a lovely white sand beach you will find the Buccament Bay Resort.

With children myself, the resort itself is a perfect family destination, offering as many activities as you could wish for. The Harlequin Sports Academy offers high level tennis instruction with the on-site tennis pro (group and individual), football skills and training with the Liverpool FC Soccer School (the pitches being available to professional clubs for pre-season training) and the cricket nets being available for all guests.

With kayaks, and other non-motorised watersports available, along side the beach volleyball and two resort swimming pools, you really can be as busy or as relaxed as you wish.

The dining facilities are of a tremendous standard, with ample choice, all of high quality. With premium brand drinks and champagne as part of the all-inclusive arrangements, nothing is to be found to be of a lesser standard.

The accommodations are one, two or four-bedroomed villas, each with spacious living rooms and top quality furnishings, all opening out onto a deck with plunge pool.

Basil's Bar, located on the beautiful island of Mustique, perches on stilts over the Caribbean Sea, and hosts wonderful times for people from many countries. Some say it is the greatest bar in the world! Many of you will remember Mustique as the favourite holiday destination of Princess Margaret, some will know that Mick Jagger and Bryan Adams have homes here, as well as the infamous Guinness family. When visited, you can understand why. It really is a paradise island and the day spent snorkeling and swimming in the turquoise sea really was a day to remember.

All in all, my experience here at the Buccament Bay Resort was one I wouldn’t have wished to have missed for anything. Whether it was relaxing by the pool, enjoying the sunset catamaran cruise (included complimentary for all guests), the day spent on the island of Mustique or the sporting activities in which I participated, I would be hard pressed to find somewhere more enjoyable or idyllic than here.
