Time to Head South! Our top picks for winter sun
W
ith the holidays in the rearview mirror and months of dreary winter weather still ahead, a trip to the sunny south is a dream worth acting on. “The best prescription for the winter blahs is a dose of Caribbean sun, in my opinion,” says Vera Kelly, LeGrow’s Travel Advisor, Gander. Lucky for the rest of us, Vera and her LeGrow’s Travel colleagues have been travelling all over the Caribbean and beyond this past year…checking out the beach scene and uncovering the best options for some muchneeded winter sun in Mexico, Hawaii, Jamaica, Cuba and beyond. The top resorts are then selected for our very own LeGrow’s Travel Recommended Resorts program. “I’ve visited so many of the best all-inclusive resorts myself,” says Vera. “But if there’s one I haven’t seen, I have quick access to 400 of my travel colleagues across the country to get the real story.” Here are just three of their picks for kicking the winter blahs.
Destination: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic—Majestic Mirage “Majestic is a great brand and I’m always happy to recommend it. Here, you’ll find lovely grounds, friendly and professional service and you can count on easily finding food that you’re comfortable with!” Recommended for you by
Vera Kelly
Gander Mall Gander 709-651-4666 vkelly@legrowstravel.ca
Destination: Cancun, Mexico— Crown Paradise Club “While there’s lots of adult friendly stuff here, the Crown Paradise is one of my top picks for family fun! The kid and teen programming is very comprehensive and the kids club is an actual waterpark.” Recommended for you by
Laura Woolfrey
Lewisporte Shopping Ctr. Lewisporte 709-535-6650 lwoolfrey@legrowstravel.ca Among the various freshwater pools on site, the adults-only rooftop pool is a winner, according to Laura.
The spacious guest rooms and 24-hour room service get great reviews here.

Discover: Classic Costa Rica with On the Go Tours (8 days)
From the avant garde futurism of Tokyo to the historic temples of Kyoto, Japan is both ageless and ancient. This recommended Japan tour is designed for value-minded travellers with an appreciation for history, architecture and splendid natural scenery. You’ll start in Tokyo and end in Osaka, with overnight stops along the way in the Mount Fuji area, Kyoto and Hiroshima.
This 8-day whirlwind tour is perfect for the adventurer with limited time who wants to hit the highlights of this diverse country. Chillax on the beach, get up close and personal with one of the world’s most active volcanoes, melt away in thermal springs, visit a local farm and stroll around San Jose—it’s all included.
“Japan was never on my bucket list, but now that I’ve been there, I realize what I was missing! The whole country is an amazing adventure and the highlights for me were the beautiful culture and scenery and the amazing food. I would recommend this to my adventure travellers and foodies, for sure!” Recommended for you by Heidi Pound, Manager Atlantic Place St. John’s 709-758-6777 hpound@legrowstravel.ca
