Sandals Grande St. Lucia, I can't wait. I heard this one is hands down the best Sandals resort.

That's where hubby & I went on our honeymoon, almost 2 years ago. We had such an amazing time. It's so beautiful there and like the other Sandals resorts, the service was perfect & the people were great. Sign up for the zipline canopy tour & the atv tour on the beach. Great water to jetski in, too - lots of big waves, a cove to explore & they let you go really far out away from the resort. Fun times!

I had gone to the Dunn's River Sandals in Jamaica a few years back & loved it there also. We had a baby almost 3 months ago so I guess we'll need to check out the Beaches resorts instead of Sandals when he gets a little older. I need a vacation now! :biggrin:

Thanks for all the info. I can't wait to go. I'm sure the Beaches' resorts are just as nice.

I almost got off at the Beaches drop off near the end of the rum punch cruise to Margaritaville in Jamaica. From what I recall it looked pretty nice there!! Luckily the crew knew where we were supposed to get off and put us back on the boat! Fun times!

Was that the cruise on the big old pirate ship? If so, I can relate to how you felt by the end of the cruise. By the time we got back to the resort I could barely get off the boat. They let me drive the boat, too........before I drank to much of course! Who would've thought they'd actually say yes? I never knew rum punch would get to me like that! :lol:

Yeah the Rum punch is potent. Let's just say after the the booze cruise on the catamaran I was highly intoxicated...

I ordered an information packet from them a few months ago and let's just say that if I ever have the funds Sandals is very high on my list of a destination vacation place to go. Until then I can at least flip through those glossy pages and dream.

It was a catamaran. We actually bought the dvd with us doing the nickle, dime, quarter, dollar dance - they rushed it a day earlier to get it to us before we left. The dvd guy actually chased the bus we were riding to the airport in down to deliver it to us. They really want to keep their tourists happy!!

I am going back even sooner than I thought. We just booked Dunn's River Villagio Resort in Jamaica for mid November. They had a really good deal on the flights and I figured why not. I am so excited.

Directly through Sandals? I'm always looking for good deals. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to get more info. :biggrin:

I book the resort through Sandals online and then the flights I got through Air Jamaica. They had a sale though yesterday (I think) for $104 one way. Our flights were a little under $600, which is pretty good. Air Jamaica is usually 800-1000. The resort always has some kind of sale. Sandals Ocho Rios has really good prices right now, cheaper than when we went in May. We would have went there again but we wanted to try another resort.

Yesterday I was browsing the Sandals site - saw that I could get 3 nights for $700 (per couple) w/out air. Not bad considering what the cost usually is. All things considered, I think it still might be a bit pricey. Will have to do some more research.

You went to Ocho Rios last time?

I was thinking maybe booking for our 1 yr anniversary

Yep, Sandals Grande Ocho Rios. They have the best deals. Right now is the cheapest I have seen it since I have been looking. I have looked at that site for like two years now. I loved it at Ocho Rios but we just want to try a different one.

mkd, since you've been to Sandals before, any info you have about what to bring or what to do would be great :)

halfangel: I'm jealous. I'd love to escape from this snow right now!!!
