This month’s Caribbean Connection features lots of new developments, incluing renovation efforts, increased airlift, destination websites, and family-friendly perks. On our Deals page we have one deal with a very short shelf life: Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten has extended its reopening special, offering up to 45 percent off rates for bookings now through February 28, 2019. If that’s of interest, you’ll have to move fast.

One more thing. My novella PLUNGE will be published next month, by UK publisher Endeavour Media. It’s a tourism thriller set in the Dominican Republic. You guys might enjoy this one.
