The Art of Eating Well
With six Gourmet Inclusive® restaurants and three Gourmet Corners, Azul’s Gourmet Inclusive® Experience soars above the rest with unlimited gourmet dining. Whether it’s world-class dining with locally sourced Jamaican ingredients, tantalising tastebuds with Thai, pairing a fine Italian wine with ocean views and when in Rome…or in this case, Jamaica…the palate is satiated with local Caribbean and traditional specialties, local spices and flavours. Every detail is meticulously defined by five-star service. Guests can even take cooking classes, part of the curated experiences at the resort. When it comes to lounging and libations, Reggae-themed, classic rock n’ roll and watching orange-hued sunsets disappear over the Caribbean Sea are just some of the bars waiting to serve guests ice-cold cocktail concoctions and premium beverages. And if your clients are so inclined, mixology and wine pairing classes are available. The shisha bar offers a heightened experience with a hookah, and swim up bars are all part of the all-inclusive experience.
Activities. Amenities. Adventure.
Karisma has always prided itself on offering a pristine paradise with stellar service that goes above and beyond. “The key to captivating a connection with guests is to anticipate their needs, exceed expectations, be innovative, keep up with new trends, and most importantly, create experiences,” says Bea Barbero, Senior Director of Sales North America for Karisma Hotels & Resorts.
Azul offers a cornucopia of amenities and activities. Seven refreshing pools, including a lazy river and kid’s splash pad, a serene spa—along with fitness classes like yoga and meditation on the beach—gift guests with rejuvenation and relaxation, a state-of-the-art fitness center keeps your clients connected to their daily routines without interruptions, and one magnificent playhouse for the little ones means more family-fun. In addition to the culinary and cocktail making experiences, archery, hat making lessons and beach sports are some of the weekly happenings at the resort while aquatic activities include aqua fitness, canoeing and kayaking. Additional services range from babysitting, laundry services and golf to scuba diving trips and certification, deep-sea fishing and rental equipment and luxury car services.
Azul, Aeroplan and Air Canada Vacations
With three non-stop daily flights from Toronto, and one from Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, it’s easy and convenient to get to Negril with Air Canada Vacations. “The Canadian market represents a very significant number in the overall production to our hotels,” says Barbero. “Guests from Canada generally stay a minimum of 7 nights up to 14, which is an ideal booking duration from a business perspective. The longer length of stay is an attractive feature as it allows guests to have an overall experience of our products,” states Barbero.
She also highlights how the relationship between Karisma and Air Canada Vacations is particularly important to this market: “Air Canada Vacations is a leading and very recognized company and brand to the Canadian audience. Our presence and exposure to the Air Canada Vacations customer is key to the success of positioning Karisma Hotels & Resorts to the Canadian Market.”
In addition to accumulating points on the flight portion of the trip, your clients will earn extra Aeroplan® points on packages to this resort, with a minimum 7-night stay. Members ages 2 to 12 will receive extra points equivalent to 50 percent of the points granted to members ages 13 and up.
