Caribbean Luxury Resorts Offer Last-minute Winter Getaways
To ensure Americans don't leave any unused vacation days on the table this year, the following Caribbean hotels are heating up and encouraging those to book a last-minute winter getaway so that Americans can enjoy the vacation benefits they're entitled to before the year is out.
As 2015 comes to a close, don't let those unused vacation days go to waste! Escape to the Tryall Club, situated 20 minutes outside Montego Bay, Jamaica. Offering the perfect secluded winter getaway, the club consists of 89 privately-owned villa homes sprinkled throughout the 2,200-acre property, each providing the ultimate privacy and relaxation of astonishing mountain or ocean views, and a multi-person staff tending to guests every need. The Tryall Club also offers an array of amenities, including Tryall Club's Beauty and Massage Centre, Luxury Caribbean Tennis Club, championship golf courses and private beach watersports.

Don't forget to turn on your out-of-office reply before you ditch your cubicle this winter. As a matter of fact, let Westin Grand Cayman's new Out of Office Generator create an amusing automated email reply FOR you! The Out of Office Generator is Westin's way of encouraging travelers to take that much-needed re-energizing escape, and where better to do just that than the Grand Cayman? Clear your head while doing Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) yoga, snorkeling in crystal-clear water among pristine reefs, sandbars, shipwrecks, and dramatic “wall-dives,” or swimming along stingrays at local attraction Stingray City. After a day of activity, indulge in a Lomi Lomi “Cayman Style” massage or Moor Mud Body Wrap at the Hibiscus Spa. After soaking in the sunset on the beach with cocktails, taste Executive Chef Sandy Tuason's coastal cuisine at Beach House. The office will be there when you get back.
Hard workers looking for the perfect winter getaway to relax and recharge should look no further than Le Guanahani, St. Barth's most irresistible private enclave. Spread out over 18 secluded tropical acres on its own peninsula and situated above two beautiful beaches and a reef-protected lagoon, guests can forget about work as they bask in the Caribbean sunshine or revel in a variety of beach activities. The resort also offers two pools overlooking pure white-sand beaches, a restorative Spa by Clarins, the most spacious accommodations on-island, a variety of amenities, as well as endless options for guests of all ages, making it the ideal destination for winter travel.

Surrounded by seven pristine beaches, Caneel Bay in St. John is the ultimate island escape for those who need a break this winter. Set on its own private peninsula amid 170 acres in Virgin Islands National Park, travelers can escape the cold and spend the days snorkeling in the company of starfish, sea turtles, and stingrays, or enjoy watching donkeys, deer, mongoose, and iguanas roam the property. Active travelers looking to explore can arrange for snorkel, kayak and hiking expeditions with the resort's partner, Virgin Island Ecotours. Guests can also charter boats for deep sea fishing, or set out to explore colorful sea life by scuba diving with a PADI pro.


Redefining luxury in the Dominican Republic, Eden Roc in Cap Cana, is the perfect winter getaway for busy families and active couples seeking a last minute trip. The five-star, boutique resort nestled in the lush, beachfront community of Punta Cana, is comprised of 34 magnificent free-standing suites, each with its own swimming pool, and private massage and relaxation area surrounded.
