To “V” or not to “V”

The most controversial topic throughout and after the Pandemic is Vaccination. It will still come down to a matter of personal preference as it is not mandated in most countries. However, countries like the USA require it because of the heavy international traffic at their airports. You may also require Covid testing within 48 hours of travel depending on the country of origin. The Caribbean region has enjoyed low rates of infection throughout the Pandemic and most countries are open to travelers who are not vaccinated. Countries such as the Turks and Caicos Islands however, require full vaccination for entry. 

“… it is important to stand at least 6 feet apart. This still stands true even Post-Pandemic.”

Check with the CDC before Travel

At Island Bwoy Travel, we implore travelers to get acquainted with the travel advisory on the Government website of their travel destination. The information published will provide insight into what is required before leaving your country of residence. Often times there are variants that spring up so immigration requirements can change within a matter of minutes during Post-Pandemic Travel. Do note as well that Government websites are often times not updated instantly and can give outdated information. We advise checking with the CDC dedicated website for that country or get in touch with your Island Bwoy Travel agent here.

Best Practices for Post-Pandemic Travel

• Random Check Ups: Getting tested as often as possible especially at the sign of any flu-like symptoms. Attempt getting tested even a day or 2 before departure.

• Face Masks: The 3 most accepted masks are medical, non-medical and respirators. Masks are designed to conceal one’s nasal and oral areas which would then prevent any form of inside germs from being between people during conversations or interactions.

• Social Distancing: When engaging with others, it is important to stand at least 6 feet apart. This would help to limit contact between both parties and the spread of the virus. This still stands true even Post-Pandemic

• Self Quarantine: Before traveling, self quarantining can be a good way to stay safe and preserve better health for you and those around you.

The post Best Tips for Post Pandemic Travel to the Caribbean in 2023 appeared first on Island Bwoy Travel.

Situated on Jamaica’s secluded South Coast, Lashings Boutique Hotel and Villas offers views of Jamaica’s final vacation frontier. This side of the island may not be as popular as some of the more crowded locales. Nevertheless,  with new developments and improved infrastructure, it is now easier to reach than ever before. 

We arrived a bit later than we expected but with only 24 Hours to Live, we wasted no time getting settled in. This was not our first time at Lashings Boutique Hotel and noticed that staff is always welcoming. We got an amazing tour of the property and had a chance to experience all their room categories.

“those rooms are so well appointed that you could wake up in those beds and feel like you are anywhere in the world.”

The Villa section is located at the top of the property’s sloping landscape. It gifts amazing views of Jamaica’s South Coast below. You should note however, that it is not located on a beach. It makes up for that with two breathtaking infinity pools. Lashings Hotel design is like that of a Luxurious Treehouse. With hidden pathways and hammock strewn lounge areas, choose one and call it your own.

Island Bwoy Travel Rating

Let’s get to the fun part – The ratings. We have chosen 5 categories to rate each property by: Food, Accommodation, Amenities, Customer Service and Budget. 

Food – 10.

If you are like me, you are very picky when it comes to food. Cleanliness is also very important and as you approach the Treehouse Bar, you instantly see that Lashings Boutique Hotel is on the same page. Whenever in the area, I make it my duty to stop by and order some Lobster or seafood. The food is spectacular and is every food lover’s gourmet dream. They have done an amazing job combining International cuisine with local cooking techniques and seasonings. We could go on and on but implore you to book a stay with us to find out for yourself here.

Accommodation – 10.

If we gave this anything less than a perfect score, it would be because there is no such thing as a perfect score since we live in an imperfect world. However, Lashings Hotel has created its own vibe as a Boutique Hotel and as such, it cannot be compared to anything else. They have created a unique blend of local culture and modern design cues that cannot be found anywhere else or compared to other hotels.

Amenities – 9.

Lashings Boutique Hotel could have easily been given a perfect score by someone who truly wants to get away and relax. For those staying beyond 2 to 3 days, it may leave you with a case of rock fever. Do note however that you also have access to their second property. It is situated on the beach just a 5 minute drive away. This gives you full access to the beach, ocean and water sports for those who are more adventurous.

Customer Service – 10.

As stated, this is our 5th visit to Lashings Boutique Hotel and we couldn’t help but notice how helpful staff was from the very minute we arrived at the entrance. What took the rating over the top was that the staff was very happy and cheerful and truly seemed like they loved working there. We were also very surprised at how knowledgeable the staff was and all seemed to be on the same wavelength working as a team. 

Budget – 10.

We have been to many hotels at every level of service around the world. Check out a few here. With rates that start from around $120USD per night including Breakfast, this price point is attainable for any traveler. Lashings Hotel earns extra points as well for the fact that their rooms could easily be sold at 5 times the asking price. Not to mention, those rooms are so well appointed that you could wake up in those beds and feel like you are anywhere in the world.

Where is one of the most important of the 5 ‘W’s. It is simply where you are flying from and where you are flying to. This is a key part of the conversation we have with our clients because interestingly enough, where you are flying from could decide whether you have an enjoyable trip or not. 

We pay just as much attention to where you are flying from as to where you are staying. If for instance, you need connecting flights to get to your destination, you could be looking at long and tiresome travel days. You could arrive at your destination feeling jet-lagged and unhappy even though this is the getaway you have been looking forward to for so long. And on the way home, your travel days could be so tiresome that you return home feeling like you still need a vacation. Island Bwoy Travel pays great attention to detail in this way to find the best flights and transfers with you in mind.
