If you watched ITV on Saturday night you may have noticed that Harlequin Hotels & Resorts made a significant and very exciting appearance on the British T.V show Britain’s Got Talent.
Buccament Bay Resort was named as the main prize in the programme’s competition, complete with great images from the promotional video. This is excellent exposure and can only help the resort and the brand, which was mentioned, too. If you missed the promotion, you can see it again on next Saturday’s show.

macroeconomic crisis will not extend beyond 2012, which will result in a “significant recovery” of European real estate markets in 2013. “Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services believes that the macroeconomic crisis may not extend beyond 2012. We still expect a new recession in Europe, although we believe it will be mild, with a gradual return to growth thanks to the growing demand from emerging countries, the strength of demand in developed countries and the restoration of investor confidence,” said the company. According to El Economista, the baseline scenario of S & P considers there will be a flat growth of the economies of the eurozone as a whole, with growth of 0.5% in France and 0.6% in Germany, while in UK the gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 0.5%. Stable outlook for construction “With respect to the housing market, we look forward to seeing the beginning of a significant recovery in 2013, which will improve macroeconomic conditions and reduce unemployment,” said the agency, which they hope “will boost consumer demand and the valuation of real estate.” As economies start to recover now could be the time to invest in property!

Follow the link to the Marquis information page - LINK Buccament Bay is becoming the most talked about place in the Caribbean, a luxury five star resort with outstanding facilities which I got to experience myself. The new resort on the little island of St Vincent has exceptional facilities for the active traveller; these include a Liverpool FC Soccer School, a Pat Cash Tennis Academy, a performing arts centre with classes led by West End professionals, fitness centre and a spa. Scenes from one of my favourite movies, Pirates of the Caribbean were shot nearby.
I flew from London to Barbados, and then jumped on a 25 minute connecting flight to the beautiful volcanic island of St Vincent. Buccament Bay has a beautiful large white sandy beach; the white sand was imported from Guyana as the natural colour of most beaches here is black. Even though an artificial beach, it was stunning to look at and I was so happy to have arrived at this dream destination. I checked myself into my luxury villa which was very elegant with a vast living room, walk in wardrobe, beautiful bathroom, plunge pool, free Wi-Fi throughout the whole resort, a slick coffee machine and a fridge full of complimentary drinks. As a bonus my villa was right on the beach, I really couldn’t ask for more! I decided to explore the resort and visited HQ, a deli which serves fresh smoothies, juices, Italian ice-cream, crepes, sandwiches, pastries and teas. Even though I’m very health conscious, I’m also a big believer in having things in moderation especially when you do lots of exercise and I couldn’t resist the ice-cream which was delicious. There were more flavours than days of the week and the caramel was divine. That evening I watched the sunset go down whilst going for dinner at the Bay Beach Club which is à la carte dining. The restaurant is situated at the other end of the beach and they had a live band playing really good music. I was really impressed by the food which for an all-inclusive resort is beyond excellent; they had everything you could want and more on the menu. The fish and steak were very good and the chocolate soufflé was delicious, I don’t normally eat desert but I had to try this one! Article from the Health and Fitness Travel website.

many more have chosen to buy a second home in the country. Portugal ranks among the top three countries chosen by us Brits, along with France and Spain. Portugal is very safe and, in particular, safer than Britain. It has an exceptionally low crime rate: Lisbon was judged the safest capital in the EU in a survey by the UN and Gallup (London was judged the most dangerous). The choice of landscapes is endless; from mountains and vineyards in the north to sandy beaches on the southern shores of the Algarve. For years this southern coast has been one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations and is the place of choice for most British second homes. However, the shores of the Atlantic, north of Lisbon on the 'Silver Coast', are now attracting an enormous amount of attention amongst buyers looking for more rural retreats away from the tourist hubs of the Algarve - at more realistic prices. Portugal has many enchanting religious festivals, pilgrimages, carnivals and fairs. In fact, given Portuguese friendliness, you will find yourself part of these festivals as you are carried along by the warmth and enthusiasm of the crowds - sometimes literally! Most people are also attracted by the relaxed and unstressed way of life in Portugal and the culinary delights are legendary... and affordable. Overall, there are countless reasons that have influenced people's decision to buy property in Portugal.

Currently, investors are not permitted to hold direct investments in holiday lets or cottages within a Sipp, as these bricks-and-mortar assets are considered residential, rather than commercial property – and only commercial property is an authorised pension investment. Holding these shares in Sipps enables investors to benefit from dividends and tax-free growth but many Sipp administrators remain nervous about these schemes – largely due to concerns that the underlying assets could be regarded by HM Revenue & Customs as residential property, and as such expose a Sipp to a large tax charge. The current regulations state that no single shareholder in the company owning the holiday lets is allowed to hold 10 per cent or more of the share capital, or the voting rights, of the company this proves very difficult for the Sipp administrators to monitor and as such in many cases the administrators refuse to accept the shares into the Sipp but the ones that do are potentially putting the Sipp at risk if they don’t closely monitor the investment. Another area the Sipp trustees have to consider is ensuring that the member remains detached from the asset, they should not gain any rights to stay at, or use, the holiday complex through having made that investment but a Sipp member is still able to book and stay at the resort on a normal commercial booking basis. So the warning is if you flout the spirit of the rules then don’t be surprised if the Revenue at some point disallow your investment and you are faced with a large tax bill.
