ble that singles will meet
each other (there)." Another
_attraction in Cancun's favor,
is that food is inexpensive.
1 She said it's so popular that
space over the peak winter
vacation week is limited. At
a price of $600, it's a bargain
_- not easily passed up.
Club Med Cancun is a real
Favored spot among singles.
The price is all-inclusive and
visitors are entitled to un-
limited use of recreational
facilities. Based on seven
nights' stay and double occu-
pancy, Alfieri said singles
can expect to pay as low as
\/- $389 for a sojourn there.
Singles clubs abound in
• Jamaica, Pianko says, and
many are patterned after
Club Med. These, too, are
all-inclusive and allow sing-
les to meet each other in a
non-threatening, non-meat
market atmosphere.
\ - Get-togethers are planned
for singles and often they are
I invited to dance on stage
1- with the entertainers. Ice
1 breakers such as volleyball,
' lectures and board games
also are offered. The Jamaica
"properties" are so popular
I\ that at this time only a
limited number of rooms are
available. Around New
Year's Eve, guests can expect
to pay from $1,000 to $1,300
for a week's stay, based on
double occupancy.
Sandles Royal Caribbean in
\ Montego Bay has become a
real singles "hot spot," ac-
- cording to Al Gordon, owner
and manager of Gordon
Travel. "It's very laid back,"
Gordon asserts, and singles
• can expect a party every
night. Packages to the five-
Aar resort are all-inclusive,
and for January cost about
$1,100. All meals, liquor,
tennis,
entertainment,
windsurfing and parties on
_ the resort's private island are
i included in the price. Just
like some cruise lines, so does
\/ Sandles find roommates for
II singles traveling alone. Trips
• to Sandles leave every Wed-
nesday and Sunday from De-
troit.
The American Jewish Con-
gress travel department is of-
\_fering one singles tour this
/-winter holiday season. The
1 Israel Adventure Tour de-
parts Dec. 23 from New York
and returns on Jan. 4. The
all-singles trip includes mix-
ers, visits to major spots in
• Israel and one night at a des-
\— , rt retreat. The price is about

$2,158 per person, based on
double occupancy.
Club Med still is a top spot
for single travelers, said
Harold Kalt, president of Bee
Kalt Travel. "It's one of the
best places forsingles," he
said, adding that of all the
Club Med sites, the club in
Martinique is still the most
popular.
For thow who like to brave
the winter climes, skiing "up
North" and in Colorado is an
alternative to "going South"
for the winter holidays.
Travelers are attracted by
skiing condo communities.
This year skiing in the
Laurentian mountains near
Montreal, Que., is being
heavily promoted, Gordon
said.
Another winter alternative
is the snow train to Sault
Ste. Marie. Lil Aichenbaum,
Berkley Tours sales consul-
tant, said the trips are "a lot
of fun," as well as relaxing.
The three-day trip includes
the train ride up north, all
meals, a private room in the
hotel for the group to meet
for dinner and use of an in-
door pool. Cost of the trip is
about $189 per person, based
on double occupancy. Also
popular are the bus trips to
Toronto, which include tic-
kets to the hit play Oats. 0
