"With so many resorts

Elite Island Resorts has offered
travelers superb all-inclusives for
almost four decades. "What makes
our properties distinctive is their
authenticity and quality," says Steven
Heydt, president, Elite Island Resorts.
"With so many resorts to choose from
in the Caribbean, our nine resorts
stand out from the rest thanks to our
outstanding staff, plentiful amenities,
and genuine representation of each
destination's attributes. We pride
ourselves on offering the most authentic
product in the region. That is why
we have been trademarked as 'The
Authentic Caribbean.'"
This past fall Elite Island Resorts
opened the Pineapple Beach Club
Antigua after an extensive renovation
of the existing property. "I just sent
some clients to the new Pineapple
Beach Resort in Antigua," says Susan
Coulton, travel consultant, Bon Voyage
Travel, "and they were delighted. This

one is a budget property, yet it has a
great beach, amenities, and selection
of restaurants."
Elite Island's other resorts include St.
James's Club & Villas, The Verandah
Resort & Spa, and Galley Bay Resort
& Spa in Antigua; St. James's Club
Morgan Bay in St. Lucia; Long Bay
Beach Club on Tortola, in the British
Virgin Islands; Palm Island Resort
& Spa in the Grenadines; The Club,
Barbados Resort & Spa; and Los
Establos Boutique Hotel in Boquete,
Panama. Moreover, says Heydt, "We
will be unveiling a new resort in 2018.
It will be another landmark in casual,
boutique elegance."
Coulton points out that one of the
reasons she likes "their products is
because in Antigua alone they offer
four price points. Galley Bay, for
example, is such a lovely all-inclusive.
Honeymooners and anniversary
celebrants, in particular, always come

back happy because of the level of
service, the good beach, and the
fresh food."
And what might be coming further
down the pike-say, in the next five
years? "Elite Island Resorts will keep
introducing new and exciting hotel
products into the marketplace," says
Heydt. "We're reconfiguring the resort
experience to a much more individual
and fulfilling nature. Regimentation
will be removed, and we'll continue
to build the vacation experience on a
reflection of guests' needs."
At the same time, Elite Island Resorts
is always mindful of retail travel agents'
needs. "We have been creating demand
for the Caribbean via digital and print
marketing initiatives for decades," notes
Heydt. "We've also always striven to
broaden sales opportunities for agents,
and we continually enhance consumer
experiences with our amazing and everevolving portfolio of resorts."
