Summer’s knocking at the door, and savings are popping up along with rising temps. Read on for a selection of bookings that will keep your clients happy for this season—and beyond.

Savings in the Caribbean

Bay Gardens Resorts is responding to rising travel costs and crowds with a promotion designed for travelers seeking a slower pace. The Saint Lucia–based, family-run group is offering a summer discount across four of its properties—Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa, Bay Gardens Hotel, Bay Gardens Inn and Bay Gardens Marina Haven.

Bookings made by June 30 receive up to 25 percent off stays between July 1 and August 31. The offer includes a welcome cocktail, complimentary Wi-Fi and property-to-property shuttle service. Daily breakfast is included at Bay Gardens Hotel, Bay Gardens Inn and Bay Gardens Marina Haven.

All four hotels participate in the collection’s Stay at 1, Play at 5 program, allowing guests to use facilities across multiple properties. The package also grants free access to Splash Island Water Park and non-motorized water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking. Families benefit from an additional incentive: two children ages four to 12 can stay and dine at no cost. Guests may also upgrade to the brand’s all-inclusive option, which includes the Dine Around Program and one complimentary spa treatment.

The properties sit within walking distance of Rodney Bay’s restaurants, cafes, shops and marina. Outdoor activities such as sunset catamaran cruises and fishing excursions are nearby, and the Pigeon Island National Landmark—with its coastal views, walking trails and historic ruins—is just a short drive to the north.
