Kool Beach Club
(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife) Baby oil + topless = KoolKool Beach Club did a great job in hosting this years BPM festival which for house musique fans, was a great way to be introduced to Kool Beach Club. Guests have the option to dance around the pool area, or relax on the day beds located near the bar or directly on the beach. It can get really busy here, especially on Sunday’s. Kool is a competitor of Mamitas which is just down the beach. Basically these beach clubs are very similar to Nikki Beach beach clubs….same concept. Lounge around on a day bed and people watch, apply that baby oil and make sure to wear your best man thong….you’ll see it all here :) SexinessAtmosphereExcitementValueService

Canibal Royal
(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife) Feels like Miami 1970 all over againI was there on opening night last December and the place seems to be doing well ever since. It’s the same owners as Diablito Cha Cha Cha, La Santanera and Los Aguachiles. The DJ’s here don’t play your average pop 40 musich which is nice, it’s all cool chill house tunes you don’t normally hear. Canibal Royal is located away from the heart of Playa Del Carmen which I love, means you’re with locals or people who want to try something different vs. Mammitas Beach Club. Try their mini hamburgers or Diablito tacos which are prepared in an old fashion wood burning oven. It’s a great place to hang out, get some shade or good food while reading / tanning on the beach. As long as you order some food / drinks they won’t charge you for the chairs, otherwise expect to pay about 50 pesos ($4 US). The staff here speaks English, they’re of course attractive but most of all pretty nice people. Head to the upper floors to take nice ocean view photos or be that guy and stare at the babes below :) SexinessAtmosphereExcitementValueService

Kool Fish
(Playa Del Carmen - Restaurants) Cheap seafood placeLast night was my second time trying Kool Fish. I’ve always seen locals eat there (a good sign) and with the restaurant being close to home I thought why not test her out again. I had their large fish ceviche which costs 130 pesos ($10.69 US) which is good value. It came in a large casserole with sliced tomatoes, onions; avocados and lime juice…pretty good. For the main dish I went with the grilled fish prepared garlic style. There’s roughly ten ways you can have them prepare the white grilled fish if garlic isn’t your thing. While waiting for dinner guests can watch TV on Kool Fishes’s flat screen. Yesterday they played some local music and had the TV on mute. Kool Fish is a cute little local restaurant. Some days I’ll walk by and it’s busy, other days a ghost town, I’m not sure why. The staff was very friendly and the food tasted good. Let me sum it all up by saying that while Kool Fish won’t win any major culinary awards, it’s a good value restaurant and that’s Mexico is all about :) TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

Heelatch
(Montreal - Professional Services) Friendly boutique web businessHeelatch is a relatively new company but its founders are well known within Montréal’s West Island community and in particular, me :) I had the pleasure to work with Dan Maitland for over 7 years as he helped design key projects for our company Luxury Retreats and CaribbeanWay. Dans’ a very upfront guy, someone who prefers that he hear exactly what you want so to avoid lost time. He’d rather be working then having to deal with project coordinators and office politics which is largely why partner Jeff “Moe” Taylor partnered with Dan. Jeff (who’s also a family friend and teammate on the rugby pitch) was born a peoples person. He gets along pretty much with everyone in the world and when you meet him you’ll most likely love him too. Together Jeff and Dan formed Heelatch, a company helping small business owners create their website and establish brand identity. This boutique agency is ideal for those that want personalized service. They work with a variety of budgets and have been very generous in donating their time for worthy causes. I wish them both continued success in building Heelatch. PunctualityProfessionalismKnowledgeValueService

La Santanera
(Playa Del Carmen - Nightlife) Where locals head after-hours in Playa Del CarmenIf you want to know where to find most of the locals after hours, La Santanera is the place. The bar is located across from Coco Bongo and features two floors. The top floor has high ceilings which I love because it can get packed up there, cool air flow is key for me. You won’t get much dancing up there but no worries, La Santanera has a closed in dance floor on the second level. Head to the far back right side upon entering is you want to hit the dance floor. I’d love to tell you more about it but at this point most of my memories go blank….I think the 20 beers and tequila shots had something to do with it. I used to like going to La Santanera but grew tired of paying the insanely expensive cover charge of 400 pesos ($32.47 US) Most locals (beautiful girls) will get in for free, as they should, and if you’re a well known regular with a good contact you’ll also get in for free. But that’s standard in the bar world, maybe in life too lol, it’s who you know right? You won’t find much commercial music playing at La Satanera. You can one of my previous stories (Mexican entrepreneurs aim for another win with Canibal Royal) where I interviewed the owners who said that this is what separated them from the other clubs. They wanted to focus on the locals and it’s clearly paid off. If you like the look and feel of this club, check out other businesses by the same owners (Diablito Cha Cha Cha review, Canibal Royal review, Los Aguachiles review and HD video) SexinessAtmosphereExcitementValueService

Bajacu
(Turks and Caicos - Accommodations) King of the hillI remember driving up the dirt road to get to Bajacu; it was built probably on the only hill on Turks and Caicos which is a very flat group of islands. So if you’re looking for a little bit of a view, Bajacu is about as high as you’re going to get lol The central area of the villa is the very large palapa which overlooks the pool area. If you’re lying down overlooking the pool…it was built so it seems level with the ocean behind it. It’s as if the pool goes on forever, really nice view. The design was inspired from similar villas built in Costa Caryes, Mexico which is known for their 270 + degree pools wrapping the villas. There’s a long dirt path leading down to the ocean, not something grandpa should take alone as the terrain can prove to be a little challenging. Each room included an ensuite bathroom and private terrace which had nice views. You really feel like king of the castle when you’re in Bajacu, maybe it’s because it’s perched up high or maybe it’s the large doors that slowly upon arrival. I would suggest this villa for couples or families with older children. I don’t think Bajacu is the best villa for toddlers. You’re leave remembering the infinity pool, that I can guarantee.

Cerulean
(Anguilla - Accommodations) One of the best managed villas on the island of AnguillaOne of the best managed villas on the island of Anguilla, Cerulean villa caters to the luxury, trendy, and leisure travelers. It has all the key amenities and I loved its beachfront location with the pool facing the ocean. I liked this setup, I never felt too far away from the group which was cool. The bedrooms are spacious, all en-suite. The villas layout is fairly spread out so you never fell too cramped, everyone has their own space with the pool acting as the center meeting point. Overall 2 thumbs up and definitely a villa worth considering for that special family gathering or couples seeking a low key island, nice villa with a professional team in place. Keep up the good work guys! CleanlinessRoomsAmenitiesValueService

The Tides
(Barbados - Restaurants) Tough to beat this view!I’ve been to The Tides a few times for lunch and liked it. It’s one of the few remaining restaurants on the beach that hasn’t been bought and converted to condos. Its right in the middle of Holetown which is ideal for the business traveler who’s looking to take their clients out to lunch or the trendy, leisure and luxury travelers seeking a nice view while dinning out. Their lunch menu wasn’t extensive which I always take as a good sign….it’s better to specialize in a few dishes than trying to cater to everyone’s needs. I couldn’t help but to look out at the ocean every chance I had. This is the real seller here, eating by the sea is always tough to beat especially when you come from the city :) TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

Sitar
(Barbados - Restaurants) Very good Indian foodGuv, who’s one of my best buddies, kept telling me that we need to try this Indian restaurant. He had been there a few times already and loved it. So I joined him and loved Sitar! We parked a few streets over because cars can’t park on 1st street….walked over to Sitar which is located right in the heart of Holetowns nightlife district (small zone). The owner is often there and greeted us, very friendly man. Guv and I shared a few entrees and took some butter chicken to go. I liked the intimate atmosphere; I thought it could serve as a great restaurant for couples or small groups. If you’re looking for good Indian food on Barbados I would definitely recommend Sitar.

Waterfront Cafe
(Barbados - Restaurants) Rest your feet and grab a quick bite to eatWaterfront Café is located right in the heart of Bridgetown and can get pretty busy during the day, especially when cruise ships are in town. I tried one of their sandwiches and juices while Guv was taking his photos…it was cool to sit on the boardwalk and watch the town. I saw some of the private catamarans getting ready to set sail for the day with guests, all from the boardwalk where Waterfront Café has set up a few chairs. It’s a simple place, a good option if you want to rest your feet and grab a quick bite to eat before exploring the rest of Bridgetown. TasteCreativityAtmosphereValueService

Port St Charles
(Barbados - Accommodations) Great place to liveA fantastic villa community where I lived for 2 years. The staff at Port St Charles is very friendly; they were truly representative of how locals are in Barbados. This marina development includes all the luxuries we’re accustom too of in North America such as high speed internet, satellite TV, security, with the added bonus of being close to the beach, access to a small gym, tennis courts, a yacht club etc.. It’s usually pretty quiet here which is perfect for those seeking to get away from an intense work schedule. Even though I wished daily for a girls gone wild group of tourists to stay at Port St Charles I quickly learnt that this isn’t the place for it lol I suppose that’s what Cancun is for right? They offer both long term and weekly rentals so if you were ever thinking of living in the Caribbean during the winter or for business, I would recommend Port St Charles.
