Elite Island Debuts Enhancements at Caribbean Resorts

Elite Island Resorts, the independent Caribbean group, announced an expansion and renovations of three of its upscale oceanfront resorts on Antigua -Galley Bay and St. James’s Club & Villas- and Palm Island, the Grenadines.

Galley Bay unveiled 32 new premium suites, and now has 96 rooms. The new suites’ décor include mahogany furnishings and 400-thread count sheets, with tile floors for a bright, new look. The new suites feature 32-inch, flat-screen, wall-mounted TVs, iPod docking stations, DVD players and wireless Internet access.

Eight new oceanfront premium guest rooms are open at St. James’s Club Resort & Villas. These rooms are set at the water’s edge and offer panoramic views. Interiors feature refrigerators, coffee makers and TVs. In addition, 11 new oceanfront one-bedroom suites are equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, 37-inch flat-screen, wall-mounted TVs, sinks, coffee makers and sofa beds to sleep three guests.

The resort now has 164 guest rooms. A new Teen Room offers pool tables and ping-pong. WiFi is offered in the lobby and Internet café and a new snack bar at Mamora Bay is now open.

At Palm Island in The Grenadines, four new one-bedroom, air-conditioned rooms offer new baths with large showers and tubs. Public areas were upgraded with new furniture in both dining rooms and reupholstered furnishings in the reception area, library and the TV/Internet room.

Soon Palm Island will open a second ocean view villa that sleeps four adults. Features include four decks, two bedrooms with in-suite marble bathrooms, spacious showers, a tiled dining terrace, a patio and a private pool.
