Sunshine, stunning beaches and cheap Cyprus holidays

October 9th, 2009 Guest Posted in Travel No Comments »

We all like to dream about an idyllic island break every so often. Relaxing on a far away Mediterranean island, soaking up the warm sunshine and lying back on soft, clean sand is many people’s idea of the ultimate holiday. Happily, it’s a lot more achievable than you might think. A trip to the stunning island of Cyprus could be the answer to the daydream. Voted as having the cleanest beaches in Europe earlier this year, Cyprus offers a multitude of pristine coastlines that will satisfy even the most ardent paradise hunters. And with the excellent deals on Cyprus holidays currently available the experience can come at a dream price too.

The European Commission and European Environment Agency report on EU beach standards released in May 2009 named Cyprus as the top destination for cleanliness. This is not a one time occurrence either, as Cyprus has shown time and again. For the fourth year in a row, over 100 beaches on the island were found to be ‘exceptionally clean’.

With the Mediterranean being a highly accessible destination from the UK, a flight from London Heathrow could have you landing at Paphos airport, Cyprus, in around 4.5 hours. From there you can head straight to the breathtaking beaches of Coral Bay or Lara Bay. Whether you’re looking for the full beach experience or a break that offers culture, action and adventure all thrown in, the wide range of Cyprus holidays available can easily meet your needs.

Resorts and airlines alike are offering great deals on holidays at the moment, designed to entice the recession-weary among us away from the daily grind, so now is a particularly good time to snap up a cheap Cyprus holiday. Your paradise island dream could be just a few clicks away.

Westin Timeshares Resale – Tips

October 9th, 2009 Guest Posted in Travel No Comments »

In the unique concept of property ownership known as a timeshare, a number of parties may be given the right to stay in a particular condominium unit in a resort for a specific time of the year.  The timeshare owner who often goes to a vacation resort for that particular time of the year would therefore be assured that he has a place to stay and would not go through the difficulties of renting a hotel room.

An owner of a timeshare also has the privilege to rent out his right of usage for that particular date whenever he could not go there.  Actually, the constraints imposed by the location and the specific dates could be overcome if the timeshare owners would be willing to exchange timeshares, and the resorts need not be the same or even owned by the same company.  Westin Timeshare resale, like any timshare resale, may, however be a bit tricky in today’s economy.

This concept of ownership was found to be advantageous to some popular hoteliers and resort developers because it resulted into higher occupancy rates.  Such companies include Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide-owned Westin Hotels and Resorts.  The clientèle of the Westin Hotels are from the higher end and are often business travelers or attendees of conventions.

Westin timeshares are geared towards the Westin Vacation Ownership that offers luxurious villa resorts in popular vacation spots all over the world.  With the exchange program known as the Starwood Vacation Network, Westin timeshare owners would be able to get access to the Starwood group of resorts and hotels in more than 80 countries.

If you are interested in buying a Westin timeshare, you could do it either through the resale or retail markets.  While some prefer to get their timeshares through the retail market, if you prefer to to buy at a lower price you may buy the timeshares through resale.  Getting the timeshares from the retail market may have the advantage of providing you with some kind of reward that may be a gift card or voucher that permits you to stay for a night in a particular resort.  However, take note that retail prices of timeshares would naturally be higher compared to resale prices because the resort has to factor in the marketing costs.  On the other hand, buying timeshares through resale may often require a longer time because seller and buyer would naturally want to negotiate.
