Amsterdam is the capital of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is the country's largest city and its financial, cultural, and creative centre. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and seven of the world's 500 largest companies, including Philips and ING, are based in the city. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city in which to live by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer.
Amsterdam derives its name from the city’s origin as “Dam” of river “Amstel”. In the past, the name was "Amstelredamme" which later changed as “Amsterdam”. The city is one of the most popular destinations in Europe, attracting over 7 million international travellers annually. The city is colloquially known as ''Venice of the North'' because of its lovely canals that criss-cross the city, its impressive architecture and more than 1,500 bridges. There is something for every traveller's taste here; whether you prefer culture and history, serious partying, or just the relaxing charm of an old European city!
Wonderful St Lucia!
Elizabeth, The island of St. Lucia and the resort were both wonderful! 10 days was perfect. Rendezvous is well maintained, the beach is very walkable, and there is a personal touch from staff from beginning to end. We were upgraded to a seaside suite on the main level, received flowers and champagne on our anniversary (thanks Elizabeth), ate wonderful meals at the buffet and The Trysting Place was excellent. We also had dinner at TAO at the sister resort and it was superb. My only negative feedback is if you are offering day passes and meals at your sister resort, your guests should not have to pay $60 round trip for a taxi to use and enjoy the amenities at The Body Holiday. That was very annoying. I felt like we did not have true exchange privileges. All in all, a great way to celebrate our 35 years together. Thanks for recommending Rendezvous! P.S. I will remember your referral program and again, thank you for professional advice!
