Discover the Allure and Benefits of Traveling
to the Caribbean During the Shoulder Season from Marriott
International Executives
PLANTATION, Fla., July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International properties in the
Caribbean are sharing insightful
trends for traveling during the shoulder and low seasons, offering
a look into several compelling advantages for a memorable and
attractive vacation. AFAR describes shoulder season as the period
of travel between the peak summer and low winter seasons. Exploring
the Caribbean during these times
not only means fewer crowds and attractive pricing, but also
enriching cultural experiences for travelers seeking a relaxed and
authentic vacation. Beyond finding great deals, traveling in
shoulder season brings additional benefits such as more
personalized experiences at restaurants and excursions, without the
hassle of competing with fellow travelers.
Grand Cayman Marriott Resort
Summer is endless at this resort with newly renovated rooms – the
property features an elevated and contemporary look that gives a
fresh and vibrant feel. Additionally, the hotel presents four
brand-new Family Suites cleverly designed for families, couples and
group travel. During shoulder season, restaurants, tour operators,
and rental services are more readily available and less likely to
be booked to capacity, allowing travelers to enjoy property
amenities such as oceanfront relaxation, water activities like
snorkeling and paddleboarding, and visits to nearby Stingray City.
The resort's Anchor & Den restaurant offers a beautiful yet
versatile space where guests can experience a global mix of
flavors, cozy up with a book or spend time with family and friends.
"Shoulder season travel may offer many of the same perks as peak
season, like good weather and lots of fun things to do, just with
smaller crowds," said Hermes Cuello,
General Manager of Grand Cayman Marriott. "Is an ideal time to
target 'bleisure' travelers and group bookings since prices can be
more attractive to business and group travel – a fantastic
opportunity to delight in coming to our Summer House and enjoy our newly designed
guestrooms."
Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino
This top-ranked urban resort in San
Juan, offering newly renovated guest rooms, a rooftop
infinity pool, diverse dining options and more are a perfect
shoulder season spot. Travel + Leisure reports that the most
attractive benefit of shoulder season travel is that travelers can
expect to pay a lot less for their trip. "Traveling during shoulder
season offers an opportunity to fully enjoy our destination and
resort. Not only are the prices more affordable, but you'll also
encounter fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed and intimate
experience," said Mariela Reymundí, director of sales of Sheraton
Puerto Rico Resort & Casino. "Additionally, this
period is often rich with local events, providing a deeper
experience into our vibrant culture and culinary scene." The
property recently opened a new restaurant, Mutuo Sabor Nikkei,
which forms a careful connection between Japan and Peru in the heart of Puerto Rico. Conveniently located near the
Convention District, guests can take a shuttle to Old San Juan and
Escambron Beach, making it an ideal choice for both relaxation and
exploration.
JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa
Research and advance planning are the best approach to planning a
shoulder season getaway, especially to this newly opened luxurious
sanctuary on Dawn Beach offers serene spa experiences and stunning
white sandy beaches, making it ideal for romantic escapes, family
vacations, and corporate events. This secluded paradise is easily
accessible yet feels worlds away. "Shoulder Season is amazing with
some of the most favorable rates including upgraded accommodations,
added perks, desirable weather, attractive air fare, and additional
'personal space' on our secluded beaches," said Todd Reichelt, General Manager of JW Marriott
St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas
Shoulder seasons, with their pleasant weather and lower humidity,
are ideal for outdoor activities, for instance, escape to this
30-acre oceanfront luxury hotel surrounded by crystal blue waters,
white sand, and lush tropical greenery – no passport needed. "Enjoy
a more tranquil and relaxed atmosphere with greater access to our
luxurious amenities, including pools, restaurants, island-hopping
experiences and the spa, without the hustle and bustle of peak
season," commented, Cliff Brutus,
director of sales & marketing for The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas.
The resort combines traditional island architecture with
contemporary comforts, offering a perfect island oasis. Guests can
delight in an array of culinary experiences, including Italian
cuisine at Alloro and beachside Caribbean cuisine at Coconut Cove.
Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
Discover a captivating tropical paradise in Aruba, where spacious accommodations and
amenities overlook Palm Beach. The
Caribbean experiences a notable
decrease in tourist numbers during shoulder seasons, allowing a
more relaxed and private experience for travelers to enjoy the
24-hour Stellaris Casino, adults-only H2Oasis pool,
full-service spa, and diverse dining options, then retreat to
luxurious rooms with private balconies and stunning views.
"Experience shoulder season and the 'one happy island life' during
a time even more relaxed than usual. Enjoy the art of 'niksen',
which is Dutch for doing absolutely nothing, but relax! Embrace the
breeze, ocean sounds, and sunny rays in Aruba," said Raoul Lemmerling, general
manager of Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris
Casino.
