Cape Santa Maria Beach House Restaurant and Bar
Cape Santa Maria Beach House Restaurant and Bar Review
Upstairs in the Cape Santa Maria Beach House, guests enjoy sweeping vistas of the turquoise bay during the day, and bobbing boat lights in the evening along with the gentle sounds of the sea. Breakfast can be light with yogurt parfait and a seasonal fruit medley, or a splurge with banana bread French toast topped with carmelized plantains or Bahamian-style eggs Benedict. Sit under a colorful umbrella on the oceanfront deck for lunch with a burger or salad. For dinner, delight in Caribbean coconut shrimp, fresh grouper, or Bahamian lobster tail—just don't miss the chocolate drizzled rum cake! Full bar service is available in the open air, screened-in oceanfront bar and a lively happy hour takes place every evening from 5 to 7, with complimentary conch fritters. This is one of the best spots on the island to grab a drink and watch the sunset.

Some people plan their vacation around Cancún and use Isla Mujeres as a side trip. But Isla Mujeres, in the Yucatan Peninsula, is a destination all in its own, and it’s generally quieter and more affordable than the options you get across the bay.
Yes, you will find a few ticky-tacky tourist shops, but folks still get around by golf cart and the crushed-coral beaches are undeniably lovely. As for the calm turquoise water of Isla Mujeres, well, you really just have to see it for yourself.
There’s just enough here to keep you entertained: snorkel or scuba dive, visit a turtle farm or put on your sunglasses and settle in with that book you’ve been dying to finish. Come sunset, there are plenty of dining options, and the nightlife scene moves at a relaxed island pace. Isla Mujeres Vacations is the perfect beach vacation. Start planning your trip now. For more information on the Yucatan Peninsula visit here, or visit all the wonderful beaches of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Isla Mujeres Weather – When to Visit
High season here extends from late November (American Thanksgiving) straight through Easter. Other months qualify as low season, and prices may be cut in half. Some of the best deals can be found from late October to mid-November, after the rainy season has passed but before the crowds have arrived.
Isla enjoys its best weather between November and May, when temperatures usually hover around 80°F. June, July, and August are the hottest and most humid months, with daytime highs routinely over 95°F.
A few festivals and holidays are worth keeping in mind while you’re planning your trip: Carnaval in either February or March (the week before Lent); the Sol a Sol Regatta in late April; Founder’s Day on August 17; the Day of the Virgin de la Caridad del Cobre, patron saint of local fishermen, on September 9; the Day of the Dead from October 31 to November 2; and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception from December 1 to 8.
Best Isla Mujeres Beaches
Playa Lancheros is a small beach on the southwest coast of Isla Mujeres, best known for a seafood restaurant of the same name that is set on the beach. Meal times is when the crowds come in, so vacationers looking for a secluded each-going experience can find it here early in the morning and in the middle of the afternoon.
Set on the north tip of Isla Mujeres, Playa Pancholo. The beach isn’t especially popular, despite it’s beauty and cool waters, but those who do visit certainly enjoy beach combing, sunbathing, and swimming. Beware of the current however, because there are days when it can be pretty strong.
Once you reach Playa Norte, the island’s main beach, you won’t want to leave. Its warm, shallow waters are sapphire blue with crushed coral on the beach. Unlike most of the island’s east coast, Playa Norte is safe for swimming and the water is only chest deep even far from the shore.
Located on the west coast of Isla Mujeres, Playa Pescador is a beach where you won’t have any trouble claiming a spot in the sand for a day of sun and sand. Despite the beach’s apparent beauty, it remains an uncrowded gem. There are no facilities here, but there are nearby restaurants.
Located on the southern side of the island of Isla Mujeres, You might want even if you aren’t staying particularly close by. Those of you who might prefer a beach that’s a little less crowded, but still fun and active, should give Playa Garrafon a try. It’s not the type of beach that gets packed every day, but it’s also not completely secluded.

There is a reason Walt Disney World is known as “the most magical place on Earth”, and with four whole parks to navigate, you will never run out of things to do and see. So should you bring babies or toddlers to Disney World even though they may not remember much? I say absolutely! Disney is a place for every age, and if a few pro tips are followed, every family can have a magical trip, even families with very young children. Here are my top tips for a successful Disney trip with little ones:
Timing is everything! Your children will have school schedules, sports, and extracurricular activities for the rest of their childhood- why not take advantage of the fact that you can travel outside of the school breaks? Plan your trip during one of the slower times, and plan for the Florida temperature too. If your small child doesn’t tolerate heat very well, plan for a November or January trip instead of July or August. Visiting the parks on weekdays can also be very helpful when trying to manage crowds. Of course, I am of the belief that ANY day at Disney is better than any day not at Disney- so if you’re only able to go during a peak time, don’t sweat it.
Stay on property. Staying on Disney property is so convenient, and offers so many added bonuses. Staying on Disney property allows you to forgo a rental car and use complimentary Disney transportation (including Disney’s Magical Express service to and from MCO Airport), you will have access to Extra Magic Hours when they are available, and you will be able to book your Fast Pass + choices 60 days in advance. You have enough to worry about and plan for when you are traveling with small children, why not take advantage of every extra convenience available?
Stay longer and take rest days. If I can be literally exhausted and overstimulated after a day in the parks, I can imagine how exhausting it can be for a small child. There is so much to see and do and it can become very overwhelming. Having a rest day in between park days to relax, slow down and let your feet recover can make all the difference. You can take this day to check out Disney Springs at a leisurely pace, or simply hang at your resort pool. You and your family will be rejuvenated and even more excited to hit the parks after your day of relaxation.
Be prepared! Disney allows guests to bring in their own food and nonalcoholic beverages, take advantage of this and bring plenty of water and snacks. No one wants to deal with a hangry toddler! Make sure you bring an umbrella or poncho in case the weather suddenly turns, and bring at least one change of clothes for your child- it is better to be safe than sorry! Plan out bathroom breaks and add them right into your plans, as children tend to get excited and may forget to tell you when they have to go. Wet wipes and hand sanitizer can also always come in handy!
Don’t force character interactions. I know its every parent’s dream to get those adorable character photos on their child’s first Disney trip, but make sure your child is ok with the character, and don’t force your child to pose for photos or meet characters if it is making he or she scared or uncomfortable. If your little one really loves the characters, try a character buffet meal, you will get so many memorable photos and wonderful one-on-one character interactions.
Take advantage of rider switch and experience every attraction you can! It is important not to forget about the adults or older children, luckily, Disney has a rider switch program that allows adults and older children to experience every attraction while one adult stays with the small child. There are also multiple attractions that even babies and toddlers can experience along with the whole family. My advice is to experience absolutely everything you can so that every member of the family gets the most out of Disney!
With a little preparation, planning, and pixie dust, Disney World can be just as fun and magical for families with babies and toddlers!

I can only agree with the comments of Stanbury99 and others. I arrived at Ataturk airport and was greeted by a driver who took me directly to the hotel. I was then greeted by a gentleman at the reception desk who took me to my room, I would like to pay special attention to the housekeeper man who assisted me in calling a tour company that failed to pick me up. He rang on my behalf and help sort the problem out.
Yes I was given the royal treatment with a view of the sea and can only criticize the lack of towel rails to hang wet towels.
The location is very good close to all the restaurants mosques etc. as well close to the trams and the metro. I was able to go back to the airport by tram and then connect with the metro. All in all it only took 45 minutes to arrive at Ataturk airport for about 4 lira...very cheap transport.
The Turkish breakfast was excellent and well laid out.

In many other countries, Airbnb has been the biggest disruption to the hospitality industry in recent years, providing travellers with a home away from home and sometimes a cheaper alternative to typical hotel rooms.
However, in countries such as Singapore and Japan, strict government regulations on housing mean that hotels are still the go-to accommodation for inbound travellers. For Singapore, private homes have a minimum rental period of 3 consecutive months. For HDBs, the minimum rental period is even longer at 6 months. Other regulations such as a maximum number of tenants and occupants allowed in each flat also have to be adhered to.
Hospitality REITs in Singapore
There are five hospitality REITs in Singapore.
Ascendas Hospitality Trust
- Owns 14 properties in 4 countries
- Property in Singapore: Park Hotel Clarke Quay
CDL Hospitality Trust
- Owns 19 properties in 8 countries
- Properties in Singapore include: Orchard Hotel, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, M Hotel, Copthorne King’s Hotel, Studio M Hotel and Novotel Clarke Quay Hotel
Far East Hospitality Trust
- Owns 13 properties in Singapore
- Properties in Singapore include: The Elizabeth Hotel, Village Hotel Bugis, Oasia Hotel Novena, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel and The Quincy Hotel
Frasers Hospitality Trust
- Owns 15 properties in 9 countries
- Properties in Singapore include: InterContinental Singapore and Fraser Suites Singapore
OUE Hospitality Trust
- Owns 3 properties in Singapore
- Properties in Singapore include: Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel and Mandarin Orchard Singapore
Understanding Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR)
RevPAR is the common metric used in the hospitality industry which measures revenue per available room. This represents how much the hotel is charging for every room that is available to be sold.
RevPAR = Hotel’s Average Daily Room Rate X Occupancy Rate
In Singapore, based on the Singapore Tourism Board Hotel Statistics 2018, RevPAR increased 2.4% year-on-year in 2018, with both the Standard Average Occupancy Rate and the Standard Average Room Rate both increasing by 1.2% and 0.9% respectively. This is an improvement compared to the drop in RevPAR by 1.5% in 2017.
5 Factors That Affect The RevPAR
Factors that affect the RevPAR are components that affect either the average daily rate or the occupancy rate. The average daily rate is dependent on the supply and demand for the hotel rooms. Since hotels have a fixed supply of hotel rooms, the demand for the rooms is the major determinant behind the rate charged by the hotel.
Here are 5 factors that play a part bringing tourists into the country, affecting the demand for rooms:
#1 Tourism Trends
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has shared that there were 18.5 million visitor arrivals in 2018, a 6.2% increase from 2017. More visitor arrivals in Singapore means more tourists to fill hotel rooms.
Travelling is now more accessible, with online aggregators helping consumers find better prices and budget airlines offering more affordable tickets, making it possible for those with tighter budgets to travel as well. There are also more people becoming digital nomads, working from different places in the world. With more people travelling, the size of the pie in tourism is continuously increasing which bodes well for hotels.
#2 Hosting Key Global Events
When key global events take place in Singapore, hotels in Singapore stand to benefit. Events such as the 2018 North Korea–United States Singapore Summit (also known as the Trump-Kim Summit) as well as the ASEAN Summit in Singapore are good examples.
Besides providing accommodation for these global figures, hotels also have to cater for other important political figures, their secretaries, pilots and security teams that have come along as part of the entourage.
Global events like these also bring in media from countries around the world that are hoping to cover this key event from the ground. This increases the occupancy rate of all the hotels as other hotels see their rooms being filled up when the top hotels are full.
#3 Major Singapore Events
Events such as Formula 1 (F1) bring in a lot of revenue to hotels. An annual event in Singapore since 2008, F1 brings tourists to Singapore during that particular weekend and the days before and after it.
This is why prices of hotels during this period are always jacked up much earlier, especially when the dates of these events are determined months in advance. For example, rooms in Ritz-Carlton Singapore for the F1 period (20-22 September) are already sold out.
#4 Singapore As A Global Destination
Singapore has made its mark on the global map for both businesses and tourism.
Many companies are choosing to set up offices in Singapore. Some companies are setting up global offices in Singapore, while others are using Singapore as their base for their Southeast Asia operations. For example, technology giant Dyson has chosen to relocate their head office to Singapore while gaming company Razer is setting up their Southeast Asia headquarters in Singapore. This brings more business to hotels when there are more travellers coming to Singapore for business travel and meetings, incentive travel, conventions and events.
Singapore has also become the destination of choice for many tourists. Movies such as Crazy Rich Asians in 2018 have played a part in sharing the beauty of Singapore with the world, featuring Singapore’s modern landscape and iconic attractions.
#5 Tourist Attractions
Tourist attractions help to attract visitors to Singapore. Singapore currently has 2 integrated resorts, Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa. Besides these integrated resorts, Singapore’s modern attractions such as Gardens By The Bay, Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer are popular places of interest for tourists. Heritage sites are also key attractions that need to be maintained for tourists to visit.
New tourists attractions will help to get tourists to come back to Singapore. Currently, Singapore has plans to revamp the Orchard Road shopping belt as well as rejuvenate Sentosa Island’s existing infrastructure and facilities.
These 5 factors play a part in bringing visitors to Singapore, which in turn impacts the demand for hotel rooms and the RevPAR. When looking at these hospitality REITS, it is also important to take note of these factors in the countries where they have other properties.

Weather (When to Go)
The best time to visit Santa Cruz is from September through November when the summer tourists have returned home, leaving a bit more room on the beaches, walking paths and other attractions. December, January and February see a slight dip in temperatures, which are still warm enough for the monarch butterflies who overwinter at Natural Bridges State Beach. September and October are stacked with special events and festivals, which are characterized by almost perfect weather. Average high temperatures dip from the mid-70s to the mid-60s this time of year. What’s more, hotel prices take a dive from their summertime highs. December – February Monarch butterflies flutter into the county during the winter to take advantage of Santa Cruz’s mild temperatures: Average lows huddle in the 40s and average highs reach the 60s. Travelers might want to follow the butterflies to Santa Cruz to take advantage of the affordable winter room rates. However, wintertime travelers should pack an umbrella since this time of year is also the rainiest. Spring (March – May) usually comes early in Santa Cruz, with average highs reaching the mid-60s in March and edging into the 70s in April and May. Hotel rates will also start creeping up toward their summertime peaks. Summertime (June – August) is high season in Santa Cruz. The sun is shining, the beaches are packed and outdoor concerts and beach parties clutter the calendar. Hotel rates are at their highest, too. Average temperatures in June, July and August hover in the mid-70s, though Santa Cruz can experience much warmer days.
Aptos Area Attractions
Visitors to this tranquil place will find over 30 miles of trails for hiking, jogging, and biking, which vary from gently winding sea-level trails to the steep inclines of the mountain slopes. The park is named for Nisene Marks, whose family donated almost 10,000 acres of land in her name to the state of California on the condition that it never be developed. This promise, upheld by the government, is evident in the untouched beauty of the area, where the redwoods and other trees heal from deforestation of decades past, and the red dirt and green ferns on the ground make for beautiful scenery.
Seacliff State Beach is a great destination for swimming, picnicking, and fishing. There is a long fishing pier which extends from the beach out into the ocean which gets quite popular at certain times of the day. The long, sandy stretch of beach along the coast provides unparalleled views of the water and is backed by bluffs which protect from some of the wind. There is also a massive concrete freighter ship called the SS Palo Alto, which was built at the end of World War I and is closed to the public, though it still makes for an iconic and impressive sight.
Rio Del Mar State Beach is very popular with families. The beach is dog friendly, contains many fire pits and picnic areas, and has restrooms available near the parking lot. Rio Del Mar State Beach is very close to the Seacliffe Promenade Trail, which provides a scenic walk through the beaches in the area, and the beach is also a great place to spot wildlife, as everything from otters to sea lions can often be seen there, as well as the gray whales which are often spotted in the bay during their migratory seasons.
Manresa State Beach is a beautiful sandy area that is known for being very well kept. There is a fee for parking at Manresa Beach, which is open daily from 8am to sunset, and visitors to the beach will find gorgeous views of the ocean, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the Monterey Peninsula as they soak up the sunshine, build sandcastles, and splash in the water. Manresa State Beach is popular for a variety of reasons, but foremost among them are its status as a destination for surfing, surf fishing, and for watching breathtaking sunsets each evening.
The SS Palo Alto Concrete Ship is located at Seacliff State Beach, where the long fishing pier leads to the impressive and historic tanker. After its short career as a naval ship in the 1920s, the SS Palo Alto was docked in Aptos, where it became an amusement ship, complete with a swimming pool, cafe, and a dance floor. But during the Great Depression, it was reduced to a hulking shape in the Aptos waters, and was used as an extension of the fishing pier.

A roundup of some of the latest airline and hotel news announced recently. Includes details of a new Ritz-Carlton resort coming to the Caribbean, news that Emirates will restart its A380 service between Dubai and Houston, information on how you can check-in a case of wine for free on Alaska Airlines & details of when the Malaysia Airlines lounges in Kuala Lumpur will reopen.
Alaska Airlines Will Allow You To Check A Case Of Wine For Free
The bulk of Alaska Airlines’ routes are focused around the West Coast and, as that’s where the bulk of the US winemaking industry is to be found, the airline has made provisions for Mileage Plan members to get a case of wine home without having to pay a checked bag fee.
The free checked case of wine is offered from 29 airports across the states of California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington…..
Image – Alaska Airlines
….and anyone with a Mileage Plan membership (free to join) can make the most of this service.
According to the airline, here’s how:
- Buy your wine
- Ask the winery/wine distributer you’re buying your wine from to pack your case for travel (up to 12 bottles) but leave the box unsealed for inspection.
- Make sure you’ve added your Mileage Plan number to your reservation
- At the airport tell a desk agent that you’re checking a case of wine. The agent will inspect the case, seal it and mark it as “fragile”.
- Pick up your case at baggage reclaim after you land at your destination.
Note: this service will only be extended to former Virgin America flights after April 2018.
New Ritz-Carlton In St Kitts
Marriott/Ritz-Carlton have announced that a management agreement has been signed that will see St Kitts get a Ritz-Carlton property in 2021.
Per the announcement:
The Ritz-Carlton resort, which will include 125 suites plus 25 branded villas and residences, will be located on the picturesque Southeast Peninsula of the island facing the Caribbean Sea. From this location there is easy access to the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brimstone Hill, downtown Basseterre and the local beaches of both leeward and windward sides of the Caribbean Sea. The resort will offer a wide range of amenities including a luxury spa, several swimming pools set within the lush tropical landscape, and spectacular indoor and outdoor dining facilities and meeting spaces.
My experiences with Ritz-Carlton properties have been mixed and I tend to prefer the city center properties over the resorts (I’m not a fan of the Aruba Ritz-Carlton which was the last RC to open in the Caribbean) but, given proper oversight, this could be a nice addition to the Marriott portfolio.
Malaysia Airlines Kuala Lumpur Lounges Delayed Again
Malaysia Airlines has three lounges in Kuala Lumpur International Airport – one in the regional terminal (main terminal) and two in the satellite terminal from where the major international flights depart.
Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge (main terminal)
The two lounges in the satellite terminal (the Business Class lounge and First Class lounge) have been undergoing refurbishment since October year and were originally scheduled to re-open on 22 January…but that didn’t happen.
A new opening date of 20 February was offered up last week but, apparently, someone at Malaysia Airlines was a little overconfident when announcing that opening date as the lounges are still closed.
AUBT has now reported that a Malaysia Airlines spokesman has confirmed that the refurbished lounges will undergo a “soft open” on 2 March with a full opening ceremony scheduled for 12 March.
Let’s hope this time those dates hold!
I can’t say that I was particularly impressed the last time I visited the Malaysia Airlines First Class lounge in Kuala Lumpur but, from what the airline has said it will soon be offering, things may well be improving.
The KLIA Satellite Platinum Lounge (what Malaysia Airlines is calling the First Class lounge) will offer “an elegant contemporary design and a fine dining area offering a selection of local and continental food”
What passengers may enjoy most, however, is the Laksa bar and open kitchen that is being incorporated.
While the Malaysia lounges remain closed the other options open to oneworld flyers are….
- Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge in the main terminal (a short tram ride from the international gates)
- Malaysia Airlines C.I.P Lounge (satellite terminal)
- Cathay Pacific First & Business Class lounge (satellite terminal)
Clicking the links above will take you to a review of each of those lounges but I can tell you now that the Malaysia Airlines lounge in the main terminal is by far the best option.
Emirates Schedules A380 Service To Houston (Again)
Emirates used to serve Houston with an Airbus A380 a few years ago but, in 2016, the A380 was moved to another route and replaced with a Boeing 777 aircraft. Considering how Emirates equips both aircraft that was a big step down in quality.
Image – Emirates
- The Emirates A380 offers 14 suites in First Class as well as an on board shower while the 777 offers just 8 First Class suites and no shower.
- The Emirates A380 offers a modern all-aisle-access Business Class cabin with 76 lie-flat seats while the 777 offers 42 old-style angle flat Business Class seats in a dense 2-3-2 layout.
- The Emirates A380 Economy Class cabin offers 18″ wide seats while the 777’s Economy Class cabin offers seats that are a tight 17″ wide.
The swap to the A380 aircraft will occur from 1 June 2018 and will increase capacity on the Dubai – Houston route by 160 seats/flight.
While the aircraft type may be changing it looks as if the schedule will remain the same:
EK211 DXB 09:35 – 16:50 IAH (Daily)
EK212 IAH 20:00 – 20:00+1 day DXB (Daily)
If you need to get to the Middle East from Houston this is genuinely very, very good news for you as the difference between what the two aircraft offer are significant. The A380 offers everything good that people associate with Emirates while the 777 offering is one that lags behind most other premium airlines.

Gracias! Fue un placer tenerlo como huesped. Lo esperamos nuevamente
Characterised by the French-style mansions which are the legacy of its aristocratic past, Recoleta is the true “Paris of the South.” Walking around this neighbourhood is an experience like no other in Buenos Aires: its streets are lined with elegant apartment buildings, exclusive boutiques, and former mansions turned into high-end hotels and embassies, which exude an alluring air of sophistication and class. You'll
also find a rich cultural scene centred on the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Library, and the Recoleta Cultural Center; as well as some great shopping spots, like the Buenos Aires Design Mall with an artists' fair set up in Plaza Francia every weekend.

Cheapest hotels at Barcelona
Are you looking for a place to sleep cheapest than the cheaper hotels at Barcelona ??? So you are on the right place because you will spend around 16 euros only per night !!!!
You may think there is a trick, well not at all… well may be. The point is that you are going to rent a bed not a room so it means that you are going to share a room with other travelers.
At the end, it can be more rentable than a cheap hotel so saving some money to spend for other entertainments.
Those best cheap hotels provide travelers good accommodation for cheap prices only if you travel light
because to keep your luggage you will have only one secured box. It is a good way to know other people from other or same country like you and why not, make friends and not enemies ;-) I won’t recommend those hotels for family since you are looking for privacy but if you are a group of 5 friends for example, it can be a good deal because you can rent a room of 5 beds for around 50 euros a night and to be between trusty persons.
I don’t need to tell you that for this condition you are going to share the bathroom with the other people, do I ??? Some of them also include some services in their price like free wifi, breakfast...
Below a list of cheap accommodations where you can start to search for the cheap bed of Barcelona. The 4 first are located in the downtown, near “plaza catalunya”.
- Hello BCN hostel (c/ lafont 8-10) located near the metro L3 paral lel in Poble Sec neighborhood and starting price from 17 euros.
- Barcelona Sound hostel (c/ nou de la rambla 91) located near the metro L3 paral lel in Raval neighborhood and starting price from 16 euros.
- Barcelona Mar hostel (c/ sant pau 80) located near the metro L3 liceu in Raval neighborhood and starting price from 16 euros.
- Inout Alberg hostel (major del rectoret 2) located near the FGC train S1 or S2 baixador de vallvidrera in Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes neighborhood and starting price from 13.95 euros.

- Garden House Barcelona (calle d'hedilla 58) located near the metro L3 valldaura in Horta neighborhood and starting price from 18 euros.
Take note that Raval neighborhood and its surroundings are full of pickpockets and considered as one of the dangerous area of the city. If you have changed your mind and you are searching for something more private but still cheap, read Cheap hotels at Barcelona.
