If diving for bottles of Caribbean rum in turquoise waters is a bit more tempting than raking leaves, shoveling snow and sweating blistering summer temperatures, then Bolongo Bay Beach Resort in St. Thomas is the place to make reservations. The Caribbean’s most entertaining resort is offering big savings, but only for those who book by Oct. 15

These special savings are good for Bolongo Bay’s daily rate and its popular all-inclusive rate, which includes a la carte dining and drinks.
