The Smart Local has clean graphics, lots of photos and is easy to navigate. On this site you really will find stuff you can't find on the standard travel guide sites.

You can find out about TV and media in Singapore, festivals and holidays, Singapore products and famous faces among other interesting topics. The shopping section in Smart Local will help you out if you're looking for something specific as the section is broken down into detailed categories.

Budget travelers will love the fact that you can search Smart Local for hostels, budget accommodation and you can search categories according to your budget. When visitors to Singapore are choosing which attractions to visit there is a useful star rate next to each attraction for quick reference.

Morning and Afternoon Snorkel

The catamaran Hokuhele leaves Keauhou Bay and takes you out along the Kona coast to Kealakekua Bay where the Captain Cook Monument is. Along the way you are likely to see Hawaiian Spinner dolphins, reef fish, Manta Rays and during whale season (November to March) you may also see whales.

Once you reach the reef there is an hour's snorkel time in the crystal clear water, passengers enjoy a filling lunch and then the catamaran sets off for the second snorkel location at Red Hill.

Night Snorkel with Manta Rays

If you're looking for something different then try going on a night snorkel. The crew takes you out to Manta Ray Village where experts will tell you a little about these creatures, then you enter the water and spend an hour swimming with the gentle marine giants.

It’s the little extras with this company that make all the difference, for example they can help you identify the fish or even take you on a guided snorkel. A few point to consider:

Bali Villa Rent - Luxury Homes

 

BaliVillaRent.net is a site where you can find luxury homes to rent on the island of Bali. From your first visit to the site you will understand that Bali Villa Rent is all about luxury, the slick layout and black background make the site high gloss and appealing. The Island of the Gods – Bali - offers sun, surf, golden beaches, relaxation and a chance to pamper yourself.

Bali Villa Rent has many years of experience arranging vacation accommodation for travelers to Bali and the site lists only the best rentals the island has to offer. They also have the advantage of actually being based on the island so that the site is kept current and the newest and most popular properties reach their site first!

 

On the site you can search for your ideal Bali luxury home according to property features (home theatre, balcony, barbecue, air-conditioning, 24/7 security beach view, garden etc) or by type of property, location or price. The service offered at a Bali Villa rent property is extensive including airport pick-up, housekeeping, meals prepared by a private chef and more. The villas offer you amenities that can include swimming pools, billiard table, tennis courts and more. Of course there are more basic (yet still top quality) vacation accommodations offered on the site and you can even use "affordable rentals" as your search criteria. You can choose from a villa for a large group or family to something more exclusive and romantic.

When you search for a Bali villa rental on this site you'll see the price (unlike some sites which try to hide the price until booking) and villa details as well as photos of the property. I was truly surprised by the quality of the properties on offer. For example a 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, luxuriously furnished 300m‎² villa rental costs only $175 a night. Just think a villa that size could accommodate a whole family, so compared to hotel prices this is actually reasonable, yet much more exclusive.

Before you book a generic hotel room in Bali take a look at Balivillarent.net you'll be surprised at the luxury home you can afford.

Bolongo is called the "entertaining beach resort" as there is non-stop action on land and sea with both day time water sport activities and a dynamic nightlife with top quality dining and live entertainment.

So you have the perfect paradise location with palm trees, rooms where you step out onto the sand, the crystal clear water and all the pampering amenities you could ask for. But in addition the resort is all-inclusive. You get your activities, entertainment, food (ordered from a menu not buffet style and yes, lobster is one of the options), drinks (including liquor), fresh water pool and accommodation all for one inclusive price. And if all-inclusive is not what you're looking for then there are accommodation-only rates as well.

 

To top it all off, don't book your Caribbean vacation before you've checked Bolongo's deals on vacation packages and special offers. For example 20% off a two bedroom condominium in the Bolongo Fall special and the "adults stay free" plan from September to October so you can bring friends along to share your room at no extra charge! There are also diving packages and packages specifically for those in the military.

Bolongo, the St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, Caribbean entertaining beach resort has plenty to offer, lots of flexible package plans and endless things to do once you get there. So spoil yourself and check out this slice of paradise.
