ANTIGUA, WEST INDIES--(Marketwire - April 14, 2010) - You've been watching and waiting for your chance to escape from the ho-hum boredom of your everyday routine and head for a breezy, tropical paradise. Make that dream a reality -- and even let it linger -- with a new summer promotion from the beguiling Inn at English Harbour on the captivating Caribbean island of Antigua.
From May 14 through Aug. 31, The Inn at English Harbour will add a seventh night to your vacation, if you book a six-night stay. Room rates, which start at $600 a night, include taxes and service charge as well as a scrumptious English breakfast and a delightful three-course dinner.
Bask under breezy palm trees on The Inn's uncrowded, soft-sand beach, against the backdrop of beautiful, wooded hills that shelter the harbour, picturesque sailboats that gently sway on the waves and sunny, blue skies that sparkle overhead. Use a complimentary kayak to take a peaceful ride out in the harbor to view the resort from afar. Head to the pavilion-style Reef Restaurant and Beach Bar, nestled on the beach, for a lovely breakfast, lunch or dinner, for relaxing music from a Cuban band or a piano, or for a fun Caribbean cocktail to top off the perfect day.
If stress has you tied up in knots, plan to stop in at The Inn's spa for a massage that will release the tension in your muscles. The Swedish massage, for example, uses long-flowing strokes to soothe muscles and improve circulation while The Muscle Melter, a deep-tissue massage, decreases pain and loosens tight muscles. An adjacent beauty room offers facials, along with mani-pedis, waxing and every kind of hair treatment.
Enjoy a bit of sightseeing by heading to the nearby bustling town of English Harbour, just two minutes away via water taxi. A graceful and evocative historic district, English Harbour is focused on fifteen square miles or Nelson's Dockyard National Park. With shops, restaurants, clubs, nature paths, historic sites, a dock and more, there's something for everyone to do.
Retire to your spacious, air-conditioned suite after a long day, beautifully appointed with dark, mahogany floors and handsome wood antiques that evoke the grandeur of colonial days. The Inn's rooms also feature the amenities befitting this upscale resort -- mini-bars with refrigerator, cable TV, direct dial telephones, and safes -- as well as new, flat screen televisions, iPod docking stations, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi Internet access.
