Here's your Extra Scoop

New York has launched, our luxury Maldives pick and more... [Everything's better On the Beach]( The Extra Scoop! Dropping in your inbox on Thursdays! [The Extra Scoop]( [The Extra Scoop]( Long Haul for all... Oh. My. God. Should have seen the excitement when it was revealed we’re starting to sell New York hotels. The office practically erupted like when England scored in the World Cup. No beers were thrown in the air, though. Just cups of tea spilt all over our keyboards (IT are fuming). Charlotte from the content team is buzzing. She’s a massive Friends fan. She just ran up to me and screamed “PIVOT” in my face. I suppose she’s right. It is a bit of a pivot away from our standard beach jollies. But who cares? New York, baby! [Your secret admirer] [Start spreading the news...]( [Start spreading the news...]( The question around the office isn’t ‘why?’ but more ‘why wouldn’t we?’. Because, why wouldn’t we? It’s New York, New York. The Big Apple. The Capital of the World. The place Frank Sinatra sings about. I, for one, love it! Big shining lights, impressive buildings and a LOAD of places to eat. The place is stacked. And for those saying ‘well, it’s not on the beach’...that’s life. We’re heading to the top of the hill. [You should go on a break >]( [You should go on a break >]( [More Beach For Your Buck]( [More Beach For Your Buck]( I’ve shouted about Dubai as a place loads of times. I’m sure you already know that it’s dedicated to having you live your best life. But, what if I told you that this hotel is ready to take you that one step further for fantastic value? Yeah, you may scream at your screen in excitement. I’ll brace myself. The JA Beach Hotel defines ‘More Beach For Your Buck’ due to it being obscenely Instagrammable, having a swim-up bar (because why walk to your next pint) and nine (!!!) restaurants to indulge in. Now that's what I call VALUE. [This way to bliss >]( [This way to bliss >]( [Levelled up luxury]( [Levelled up luxury]( Speedboat transfers. A bit James Bond, isn’t it? So, when you need to get a speedboat transfer to your resort then you know for sure that you’re heading to a pretty swanky spot. And that’s the Maldives for you. Each hotel is on its own island so to get there you have to go all 007. It’s straight luxurious. If it were a person, it’d be chiselled by the hands of Zeus himself. I’ve no idea if you get what I mean. I’m not even sure I get what I mean. [Mal-dive right in >]( [Mal-dive right in >]( [Never heard of it... Punta Cana]( [Never heard of it... Punta Cana]( Fact: Punta Cana in Mexico is the same age as my Dad. Sorry to him if he’s reading this (he’s probably not) as I’d imagine that’d make anyone feel old. But back in ‘69, it was a largely undeveloped area. Now? It’s a top, top tourist spot. So, you should go. Lie on the beach. Sip a cocktail out of a hollowed-out pineapple. Dip your toe in those crystal-blue waters Tui keeps banging on about. It’s a dream and then some. It’s my dream. Please, can I come with you? [Yeah you Punta Can-a! >]( [Yeah you Punta Can-a! >]( [Bloomin Rooms]( [Bloomin Rooms]( I was speaking to Lucy from the team the other day. About holidays, of course. Not really much else to discuss, is there? She told me that a swim-up room is one of her favourite things. Said she took a trip to the Hyatt Zilara Cancun and the fact they could just take a dip and swim back to the comfort of their own space was absolutely top. Didn’t even have to wait for the lift from her room down to the pool on the first day either. Packed her bikini at the top for easy access and she's straight in. She just played it casual. Easy does it.
