After the graduation caps have been thrown in the air, escape to the sun and sand of St. Thomas for much-deserved R&R in the Caribbean – no passport required. The family-owned Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is rewarding new high school and college graduates with savings this summer on a post graduation vacation.

Celebrate with friends and family on a five-night beach vacation at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort and receive a 20% discount off room-only rates in the Oceanview rooms, directly overlooking the beach. Plus, the graduate stays free in the room when two other people are traveling with them.

Or for graduates traveling with a large group, spread out in two rooms and receive a 50% discount on the second room with booking of one room at the regular daily rate.

Whether the group books one or two rooms, the entire party will receive a complimentary Sunset Harbor Cocktail Cruise on board Bolongo Bay’s 53’ catamaran Heavenly Days to toast the accomplishment (a $55 per person value).

At Bolongo Bay, fun in the sun is included for all guests with complimentary non-motorized water sports including Hobie Cats, stand up paddle boards, windsurfers, kayaks and snorkel gear. There’s also live entertainment nightly at Iggies, one of the best beach bars in the Caribbean.
