Caribbean

Autumn at home might be filled with changing leaves and pumpkin spice, but, in the Caribbean, it means sunshine and sandy beaches. In other words, it’s a great place to sneak off for a fall getaway to recharge and refresh before the holidays are upon us, and the current deal offered at Sonesta Sint Maarten resorts make it an affordable option for families and couples.

 

Sonesta Sint Maarten has two resorts in the heart of Maho Village, next to Maho Beach where airplanes come in low for a landing at the airport, located just feet from the sand.

 

Sonesta Ocean Point is the brand’s adults-only resort, and its family-friendly sister resort, Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, is next door. The resorts, both all-inclusive, currently offer discounts of 10, 20 and 30 percent off three-, four- and five-plus-night stays, respectively. The offer, available for stays until Dec. 31, is a great opportunity to postpone pulling those sweaters out of the closet to keep summer alive for just a bit longer.

 

The beach itself is iconic and a must for visitors to the island, but the resort has plenty to keep families busy while they wait for the next plane to arrive, including an all-new rooftop adventure and entertainment experience. You’ll find this 59,000-square-foot rooftop fun center at the Maho Beach Resort property (which guests of the Ocean Point property are also able to access).

 

It’s called Pelican’s Nest Sky Deck and you’ll find plenty to do, like mini golf, rock climbing, multisport simulators and a dedicated kids’ play area, but it’s also got a rotating schedule of live entertainment, family game shows, movie nights and interactive challenges. The best part is it is included in the all-inclusive price for the resort.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
