Antigua’s St. James’s Club & Villas and The Verandah Resort & Spa feature a new all-inclusive vacation promotion, “Family Time.”

When two rooms are booked by Dec. 31, 2009, the second accommodation is half price for travel Jan. 3 to April 14, 2010.

Plus with this promotion, a family of four can opt for one of the three “Family Time” ideas: enjoy a Catamaran day trip to Green island for snorkeling, lunch and beverages with two children sailing free ($150 savings); two 30-minute pampering spa treatments for the parents ($150 savings) while children enjoy the resorts’ supervised Kids Clubs; or a romantic dinner for two at the Antigua resorts’ top tier restaurants ($70 savings), while children enjoy complimentary supervised evening fun at the respective Kids Clubs. Family Time savings promotion works as follows: a family of four, with kids ages 2 to 22, can book a newly refurbished and expansive beachfront room at St. James’s for $690 all inclusive, and receive the adjoining room for $345 all inclusive.

At The Verandah, the same family can book a waterview suite for $620 all-inclusive and receive the adjoining suite for $323 all-inclusive.

St. James’s Club & Villas, tucked away on a secluded 100-acre peninsula, exudes a casual, club-like ambience. Two white sand beaches rim the resort; six pools are featured.

The resort recently expanded and updated Kidz Club to reflect local culture, as well as added new cool technology like Wii and dance challenges for teens.

The Verandah Resort & Spa, an upscale eco-friendly resort adjacent to a national park, is situated on 30 waterfront acres. Villa-style suites feature the resort’s namesake verandahs with ocean views.

The resort features two white sand beaches, kayaking, hiking, and three pools along with a fun-filled Kid’s Club complete with pool and play system. All-inclusive vacations include all meals, top-shelf liquor, non-motorized water sports, complimentary Kids Club, entertainment, tax and service charges.
