A great way to kick off the New Year is with a vacation on the calendar and little extra cash in the wallet. At Breezes Resorts & Spas, guests who plan ahead and book their 2012 getaways by February 15, will reap savings of up to 55 percent on travel now through October 31 at their choice of six properties in Jamaica, the Bahamas, Curaçao and Brazil.

In Jamaica, adventure seekers have their fill with activities at Breezes Runaway Bay such as scuba diving, sailing and windsurfing. With the first golf school on the island, guests can also put around at leisure and practice their swing with complimentary lessons on the resort’s private course. The all-suite Breezes Grand Negril commands an impressive stretch of breathtaking silver sand coastline. The flagship property boasts six classic restaurants including French, Italian and Japanese cuisine. Breezes Trelawny is a favorite for all ages with four swimming pools, a rock-climbing wall and a circus workshop. While children have fun at the Kids Club, parents can enjoy a rejuvenating break on the beach, by the pool or at the à la carte Blue Mahoe Spa.

Beyond Jamaica and just two and a half hours from Rio de Janeiro, travelers can enjoy a city/beach vacation with the 329-room Breezes Búzios, named the “Resort of the Year 2011” by Guia 4 Rodas, Brazil’s popular guidebook. Breezes Curaçao, the island’s only Super-Inclusive resort, attracts world-class divers and water sports enthusiasts alike to explore its 1,500-foot white sand beach whose pristine waters burst with vibrant marine life. On Cable Beach in Nassau, Breezes Bahamas offers beachfront accommodations and a host of activities including rock climbing, kayaking, tennis and beach volleyball, and a lively piano bar that stays open until the last guest leaves.

Breezes’ “Super-Inclusive” concept offers exceptional vacation value. Make a single payment for accommodations, all meals and multiple dining options including Japanese, Italian and authentic regional cuisine, unlimited premium brand drinks, myriad land and water sports including equipment and instruction, entertainment, weddings, recreational activities, and hotel taxes. Tipping is not allowed.
