It’s easy to picture Pele, the Volcano Goddess, showing her wrath – or mercy – on those she encounters. As you explore Hawaii - the big island,  you’ll see jagged lava fields immersed with new vegetation, providing an amazing contrast of Hawaii's Big Island’s diverse landscape. To see the lava flow glowing at night is an incredible experience you really shouldn’t miss! Yet the molten lava is just one of Hawaii's Big Island’s hot attractions – there are also cool shops in Kona, coffee plantation tours, excellent golf on the Kohala Coast, and the quaint town of Hilo, where you’ll feel as though you’ve gone back in time.

Hawaii's Big Island has spectacular contrasts...the mighty volcanoes Mauna Loa and Kilauea, lofty snow clad Mauna Kea the Kau Desert, gorgeous waterfalls, the Puna Fern Forest, and the colorful orchids of Hilo. The island grows sugar, coffee, cattle, and macadamia nuts. Famous Hawaiian landmarks: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kealakekua Bay, Kailua-Kona, Kawaihae, Parker Ranch, Waipio Valley.

You will immediately be embraced by a swirl of salt air, the life-breath of the islands. You will see it ruffling the fronds of the palm trees that fringe the 12 manicured acres, tossing the waves against the stark black lava rocks at the resort's feet, marching columns of clouds across the uninterrupted expanse of sky. The air here presents you with the perfume of tropical flowers. It is a reminder that you are on the Big Island of Hawaii, so breathe, exhale, and completely relax. This is the setting of the Royal Kona Resort. Welcome!

I Speak Your Language!

And so does everyone in this eclectic and modern city!  Vibrant and energetic, Amsterdam is a city that has something for every kind of vacationer!  In fact, I've been here many times and will go back soon!  In my opinion, there are few places that manage to combine the quirky with the elegance and make it seem like a match made in heaven; however, this is exactly what you will find on a vacation to Amsterdam.

It's not the pot laden city you think it is. It's the most cosmopolitan city in Europe - in fact, it's dubbed the New York of Europe!! Whether you’re a culture vulture looking to delve into history, a shopaholic in pursuit of some retail therapy, just craving a little R and R, relaxing aboard a boat on one of its elegant canals, exploring the city’s many museums, or even taking a foodie walking tour, they even have cheese & wine tasting tours (I did this & I highly recommend this!), Amsterdam is just waiting to be discovered.

With Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport and the city center only minutes away, the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South is one of the best situated hotels in Amsterdam, whether for business or pleasure. Relax with a glass a wine in the Manhattan Bar or on the outdoor terrace. Enjoy delicious Dutch cuisine in the One-O-One restaurant, food and drink options offered throughout the day, from fine dining to lighter meals, and buffet breakfast all available for a fee.

The design of the rooms is inspired by the natural, warm, relaxing tones.

Plus, cable TV, free weekday newspapers, safes, and complimentary bottled water.  There is a pillow menu available, and televisions come with cable channels and pay movies. Bathrooms include bathrobes, slippers, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryers.

This area is the new urban center devoted to international commerce and knowledge development. The location is unique as Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport, the RAI Convention Center and the city center are only a few minutes away by public transport. You'll find in the direct surroundings of the hotel, bars, and restaurants where you can go for lunch, dinner or a drink.  The nearest bus and tram stop is just 500 feet away. There are excellent transportation services around the city. Dam Square is 12 minutes away by tram, and the Central Train Station can be reached within 15 minutes.

The one thing you will find out about the Netherlands is that the country is filled with entertainment, food, history and, some amazing culture. The shopping is said to be the best in Europe. You can rent a bike and cycle around the city’s narrow, cobbled streets one minute, then find yourself pulling up outside a café with a street troubadour providing entertainment the next!  It's quite eclectic!  Canals are famous in the area and, you will find that Amsterdam is actually ninety islands because of the canals. The islands are linked together with the bridges. It is an amazing place to see.

However, the real joy of Amsterdam is that you can enjoy it at any time of the year. Going in the autumn and winter months will highlight the dramatic architecture whereas a summer visit will see the canals splashed in the sunshine and brought to life with people on their canal boats. Plus it couldn’t be easier getting there with our special this week!

Save a day for the world-class galleries of Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, the Rembrandt-filled Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum. Be sure not to miss admiring Amsterdam's fragrant floating Flower Market.

Rijksmuseum

You'll find cosmopolitan flavors all over Amsterdam.  You could start with Japanese sushi or Chinese dim sum dumplings from hip Leidseplein. Or try succulent Argentinean beef in the restaurants that make up the Zentrum district. For a taste of traditional Amsterdam try hearty Dutch stamppot stew made from potatoes and carrots.

Join the locals for a pint of Amsterdam's Heineken lager in the trendy late-night bars of the De Pijp and Jordaan districts. Or spend relaxed evenings at Amsterdam's buzzing Rembrandtplein square sipping coffee and people-watching from open-air cafes, before trying your luck in the nearby casinos. If this is your first vacation to Amsterdam, learn why Amsterdam's nightlife is so famous by joining the other curious tourists in Amsterdam's Red Light District - daring, but perfectly safe.

Break up your vacation to Amsterdam with a trip to the nearby 13th-century city of Delft, famous for its blue-and-white pottery and for being the birthplace of the Baroque painter Vermeer. You'll find pretty botanical gardens and charming canals in Leiden. Spend holidays to Amsterdam wandering around the Keukenhof flower garden where seven million bulbs are planted every year.
