Why not say (I DO) at Grand Caribe

                                               Welcome back newlyweds.

Mr. and Mrs. Chevis just got married on our beautiful beach about one month ago and have returned to spend a few days with us.

If you are wondering whats new in Belize. then let me put in the loop. This is a long weekend cause its Labour Day for Belize and a perfect time for a quick get away and the chance to take advantage of our Summer Special Discounts.

Just imagine relaxing and drinking a margarita or a tropical pina colada from our on site bar and grill (Foot Prints) and enjoying a warm sunny day by the pool.

(I know what I will be doing this weekend).      Do you?

One more day at Paradise

The Easter rush is over and all of the staff is looking forward to next year.  One more day at Grand Caribe is like starting your first day of vacation, you see new faces and more exciting things to do.

Please view the video I just found on YouTube from one of our past guest. Ambergris Caye is truly one amazing place, being near the sea and the sunny days at the beach are like a never ending vacation.

If you walk around town and ask any of the locals how it is it to live in San Pedro they will say "Our tropical island is like being in Paradise their is always something new to see and do every day". If the locals say that about our island, imagine what you would say.

OK, I think I better get back to work. Just a reminder or a thought.... (If you are planning on visiting us at Grand Caribe or you are already on your way, I recommend that you try the Chicken Fajitas at our on site bar and grill Foot Prints - That's what I will be having for lunch today).

Enjoy your day and I will keep you updated with all the new events and fun stuff to do at Grand Caribe and in Town.

A HAPPY EASTER FOR ALL

As staff we work when everyone else is on vacation, its a part of the job. Our job is to make your vacation a great one, no matter the time of year. We take pride in doing it all, so as to make your vacation as smooth and as comfortable as possible, this is especially true of days such as today (Easter). 

We all know that everyone in the service industry works holidays, but its very likely that we at Grand Caribe have an easier time than others working on these days because we see the results of our hard work right through our office windows. We see our guests having a great time and know that we helped make it possible, because we are their problem solvers, personal assistants and all around everyday heroes.  To be in this business and to work at Grand Caribe means being a people person, outgoing and genuine. We are proud of who we are and where we work and know we provide a service of class, convenience and comfort. We are in this industry because we get joy from seeing others happy and all I see through my office window are happy faces! 

A vacation for everyone

Grand Caribe has the uncanny ability to be an "everything in one" resort that provides the perfect setting for any type of vacation.

A person can come and disconnect him or herself from the world. Many times winter or work can become overwhelming and Belize is the answer. Peaceful and relaxed all our vacationers have a great time.

Families (some what forced in the case of many teenagers) get closer. Moms and Dads can connect with their kids because they are all disconnected, no constant texting, phone calls or tweeting. With plenty of teenage friendly activities, parents and their teens share experiences and have fun together. Jet skiing, para sailing, snorkeling, family tours and much more are great opportunities for bonding.

Now let me make something clear,just because teenagers and kids enjoy it here and the activities involved  that doesn't mean that a couple can't have a great time. The fact of the matter is that everyone enjoys these activities.

So Belize, San Pedro and specifically Grand Caribe offer people with the opportunity to get away from it all, have a new experience while disconnecting from the outside day to day world and connecting with their loved ones.

Grand Caribe is a source of escape even for the local Belizean.  I know this for a fact,because I can see it from my very office window, my view at this moment is of a Belizean family of three generations (almost all staying in one of our four bedrooms): grandparents , their three sons and their wives and children. The kids are all playing in the kid friendly shallow pool while the adults lounge in chairs tanning and laughing. All of them are of different ages, keeping it simple and having a great time. A no fuss family reunion with an atmosphere of ease, relaxation and fun.

A New Blogger at Grand Caribe

A blog is a very personal affair, a person's views and opinions are expressed to the world. And as a part of our new series of blogs, this aspect of Grand Caribe will be shown even more.

A candid picture of myself taken by Efrain

As a marketer, my views are extremely auto-censored (a habit of the business), and a blog becomes less personal and more promotional. Looking for a change of pace, I spoke with one of our brightest personalities here at Grand Caribe; someone who has something to say and knows to say it; my fellow colleague Efrain. He will be adding a serious punch of pizazz to this blog; outspoken and extroverted I look to him for inspiration and flavour for my own blogs.

Adding color to every room,
fresh flowers at his desk say it all!

Efrain is everywhere at Grand Caribe and knows everyone, as the housekeeping supervisor he's heard and seen it all; and in addition, he takes care of many of the more exciting aspects of Grand Caribe such as setting up and arranging special occasions such as weddings.

The Grand Caribe blog will now have a touch of sass to what was a very formal affair. Alternating the responsibility of the blog we hope to keep our readers not only interested but also enticed to come to Belize and especially Grand Caribe Resort & Condominiums.
