Cape Air Resumes Nonstop Flights Between St. Croix, USVI and Vieques, Puerto Rico

On August 1, 2024, Cape Air reinstated nonstop twice-weekly service between St. Croix, USVI and Vieques, Puerto Rico, providing convenient and accessible air travel options within the Caribbean. Cape Air will operate two weekly flights on Monday and Thursday between Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in St. Croix and Antonio Rivera Rodríguez Airport in Vieques. The flight schedule is optimally timed for local travel. Passengers can book their reservations now on capeair.com or by calling 1-800-CAPE-AIR.

Linda Markham, President and CEO of Cape Air, emphasized the airline's longstanding commitment to the Caribbean region, spanning over twenty-six years. She highlighted, “Cape Air has a pivotal role in linking island communities to major cities and facilitating seamless travel through partnerships with other carriers”.

"The reinstatement of air service between St. Croix and Vieques is a testament to Cape Air’s commitment to strengthening connections within the Caribbean communities,” stated Bobby Falcon, Cape Air's Managing Director of Airport Services. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bridge the islands with convenient and first-class service for both tourism and our local business connections."

“The return of Cape Air service between St. Croix and Vieques further elevates the connectivity between not just our community but also the tourism community with ease of inter-island transport,” shares Commissioner Joseph Boschulte of the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism. “Like many neighboring islands in the Lesser Antilles, there has long been a deeply interwoven connection between families in Puerto Rico and St. Croix, and as we begin to see the market continue to restabilize, we see the increased interest in cross-Caribbean travel from residents and visitors alike. Cape Air’s recent growth in St Croix and across the U.S. Virgin Islands market helps to underscore the increased necessity and demand.”

Cape Air has been offering affordable, convenient, frequent daily flights throughout the Caribbean since 1998. Cape Air operates the Cessna 402 aircraft which is a nine-passenger, low-wing, twin-engine aircraft exquisitely suited for inter-island flights. With its Caribbean hubs in San Juan and St. Thomas, Cape Air operates more than 80 daily flights to St. Croix, Nevis, Tortola, Vieques, Anguilla, Mayaguez, Culebra, and Virgin Gorda.

Raffles Boston Makes Its Debut in the Back Bay

Raffles Boston, the stunning hotel from the illustrious hospitality brand, Raffles Hotels & Resorts, officially opened its doors to guests on September 15, 2023.


The highly anticipated property represents the first mixed-use development in North America for the 136-year-old brand, marking a new era for the legendary collection. Offering an urban oasis in the heart of Back Bay, Raffles Boston features 147 sumptuous guestrooms and a wide variety of distinct gathering spaces for guests, residents and locals to discover.

“We are delighted to extend the legendary Raffles brand into the Americas with Raffles Boston, and are incredibly grateful to the dynamic ownership teams from Cain International, Noannet Group and Saunders Hotel Group for their trust in, and commitment to, the Raffles brand.” said Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles & Orient Express. “Raffles properties act as vessels for generations of world travelers to explore destinations through the highest level of hospitality and gracious service. Boston represents a historic and sophisticated cultural hub in the United States, and we could not imagine a more well-suited city to play host to the Raffles experience for years to come.”


Upon entering Raffles Boston, guests ascend to the hotel’s 17th floor, where a three-story Sky Lobby awaits, and a Grand Stair, iconic of the Raffles brand, spirals through the atrium. More than a place to check-in for a hotel stay, this soaring space connects guests for socializing, and offers four distinct food & beverage venues. Dining experiences include Amar by Chef George Mendes, the signature restaurant serving modern Portuguese cuisine with influences from Boston’s seafaring culture, the Long Bar & Terrace, a Paolo Ferrari-designed lounge pairing cocktails with sweeping views of the South End, and a Speakeasy offering specially crafted cocktails and small bites. Also on the 17th floor is the Raffles Writer’s Lounge, a signature Raffles space made famous for the esteemed writers and poets who have frequented it within the flagship Raffles Singapore and a number of other Raffles hotels around the world.

On the 4th floor, guests will find sanctuary in an exclusive state-of-the-art gym, 20-meter indoor pool with expansive city views and the prestigious Guerlain Spa at Raffles Boston, featuring treatments in partnership with the renowned Parisian beauty and wellness brand.

Raffles Boston will reinforce the city’s global reputation as a first-class international destination. Residing next to The University Club and adjacent to Boston’s Back Bay train station, Raffles Boston sits within a block of Copley Square, Trinity Church and premiere luxury shopping at Copley Place. Other notable Boston attractions nearby include the world-renowned shops and galleries of Newbury Street and the Prudential Center, Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, the Charles River Esplanade, and dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes.

“It is an honor to officially unveil Raffles Boston and commence the next chapter of the Raffles story in this extraordinary and historic city,” said Oliver Dudler, General Manager of Raffles Boston. “Years in the making, this hotel will transport the legacy of the Raffles brand to Boston, welcoming travelers and locals alike to experience its allure—from impeccable design and exceptional food & beverage programming, to indulgent wellness offerings and world-class service.”


Cain International, Noannet Group and Saunders Hotel Group added: “The opening of Raffles Boston is a historic moment for the City of Boston as it brings this iconic hospitality brand to North America. We extend our deepest appreciation to Mayor Wu and elected officials, as well as to our neighbors, for helping us bring this spectacular development to life. Just like Boston, Raffles is intrinsically global and local, historic and modern. We are so thrilled to welcome residents, travelers and diners alike to the Raffles Boston experience."

The property’s thoughtful, locally inspired design enhances the warm, cosmopolitan charm of the Back Bay, while simultaneously transporting its visitors to a tranquil urban oasis. The Architectural Team (TAT) Inc. designed the building’s exterior architecture while award-winning hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor fashioned all hotel rooms and several hotel amenity spaces, and the acclaimed Rockwell Group designed the Fitness Center and Spa, as well as the Raffles’ Residences, which are available for purchase. A predominantly local team, united by its members’ deep appreciation for Boston, leads Raffles Boston. The development team is a partnership of locals Jordan Warshaw of The Noannet Group and hotelier Gary Saunders of Saunders Hotel Group, alongside their global development and equity partner Cain International, Madison Realty Capital provided construction financing.

Royal Caribbean Reveals Hideaway Beach, The First Adults-Only Escape on Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas

Royal Caribbean International has revealed the first look at the private island’s first adults-only escape, "Hideaway Beach," on Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas.

“Hideaway Beach is a completely new vibe and experience that vacationers are looking for on Perfect Day at CocoCay. Everything from its hidden-like location to the exclusive beach and pools to the private cabanas is designed for adults who want a day just for them,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “There are experiences for everyone on a Royal Caribbean vacation, and that’s at the heart of our private island and its popularity. Whether it’s thrill or chill, family time or time to celebrate, families and friends can create their ‘perfect’ vacation day without compromise, and Hideaway Beach adds to what continues to be an unmatched combination of ways to do just that.”

Tucked away on the northwest beach of Perfect Day at CocoCay, Hideaway Beach packs the best of a tropical getaway. For an entry charge, vacationers age 18 and older can celebrate, cool off and kick back across a private beach, two pools, 20 cabanas, seven open-air bars and spots to grab a bite, and more:

Adulting Beachside or Poolside:

  • Hideaway Beach – From end to end is over an acre of The Bahamas’ white sand beaches and turquoise waters exclusive to Hideaway Beach guests. Vacationers can enjoy the beachfront views and breeze at any one of the resort-style loungers and umbrellas along the shore or on the in-water hammocks and swings while playing beach games and listening to the beats of the live DJ by the pool.
  • Hideaway Pool – Partygoers can turn up the volume on the celebration with all-day tunes from the DJ and the lively swim-up bar at the center of the action. With in-water seating and loungers, and poolside loungers throughout the heated infinity-edge pool, every spot is also the best seat in the house to take in the picture-perfect views.
  • Hideaway Cabanas – Just steps away from the party, vacationers can level up their day in paradise at 10 chic poolside cabanas that have a range of amenities like cabana attendant service at the push of a call button, a mini-fridge, floating beach mats and charging outlets.
  • The Hideout – This nook at one end of Hideaway Beach is just close enough to the buzz but carves out an exclusive, elevated experience. In one of 10 Hideout Cabanas, those looking for a more VIP, chill vibe can kick back at a heated infinity plunge pool – exclusive to The Hideout guests – and enjoy the convenience of perks like cabana attendant service, in-water loungers, an outdoor shower and resort-style seating.
