  • How Does Sandals St. Vincent Compare to the Other Sandals Resorts?

    5/21/2025 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • Having explored every Sandals and Beaches All-Inclusive Resort in the portfolio, I’m often asked how the newest resort in St. Vincent stacks up against the rest. I am thrilled to share that “Sandals 2.0” is a refreshing evolution of a beloved Caribbean brand. With the launch of Sandals Royal Curacao, Sandals Dunns River, and the most recent gem of Sandals St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the excitement was palpable. After falling head over heels for Sandals Dunn’s River Resort, which dethroned my long-time favorite of Sandals South Coast, my expectations for this new resort were sky-high! From the moment I arrived, the property itself captivated me. The breathtaking landscape is unlike anything else in the Sandals collection. I must have snapped over 200 photos of the stunning emerald mountains that cradle the resort alone! The way the sunlight danced across the scenery seemed to change by the minute, making it […]

  • Beaches Turks & Caicos Review: The Good, The Bad & What You Need to Know Before You Book

    3/14/2025 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • After visiting Beaches Turks & Caicos All-inclusive Resort multiple times in the past few years with friends, family and as a couple, I wanted to share an honest, detailed review to help you determine if this premium all-inclusive Caribbean family resort is the right fit for your family vacation, multigenerational trip or group getaway. Since this Caribbean resort comes with a premium price tag, it’s important to understand which room category to book, what dining experiences to expect, and whether the resort’s beach and amenities justify the cost. Let’s break it down! The Good: What Makes Beaches Turks & Caicos Stand Out? 1. The Beach & Water Quality – The Ultimate Draw It’s no surprise that the biggest reason travelers choose Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort is Grace Bay Beach—consistently ranked one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The resort sits along a prime stretch of 12 miles […]

  • Sandals Montego Bay vs. Sandals Royal Caribbean: Which One is Right for You?

    2/28/2025 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • Jamaica is home to some of the most stunning Sandals Resorts, and two of the most popular are Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean. Both offer a luxurious all-inclusive experience, but they have distinct vibes that cater to different vacation styles. Let’s break down what each property offers to see which one might be the best fit for your vacation: Resort Atmosphere & Activity Level • Sandals Montego Bay: Known as Sandals’ flagship resort, Montego Bay is lively and social, with a high-energy atmosphere. It’s ideal for couples who love an active scene with plenty of entertainment and beachside fun or a trip with a group of friends. • Sandals Royal Caribbean: More laid-back and intimate, this resort exudes British colonial charm. While still offering entertainment, it has a quieter, more romantic ambiance—perfect for couples seeking relaxation with a touch of elegance. Dining Options • Montego Bay: 12 restaurants, […]

  • What’s Actually Included with Your Stay at Sandals All-Inclusive Resorts?

    1/21/2025 • Blog, Sandals & Beaches, Tips • What’s Actually Included with Your Stay at Sandals All-Inclusive Resorts? The term all-inclusive gets used a lot in the world of vacationing, but it doesn’t always mean what you might expect. Many resorts advertise themselves as all-inclusive, yet leave out important details—something I’ve personally discovered through my own travels. To help you avoid any surprises, I like to provide clear and honest information about what you can truly expect. One of the most common questions I receive is: “What exactly is included at Sandals?” To make it easy, I’ve put together this quick and helpful guide: ________________________________________ 1. Luxurious Accommodations 🏨 • Elegantly designed rooms and suites with stunning views. • Select suites feature personal butler service for an elevated experience. 2. Gourmet Dining 🍽️ • Multiple gourmet restaurants offering diverse, international cuisines. • 24-hour room service available in select accommodations. • Unlimited fine dining—no reservations required at most restaurants!

With the number of categories, views, amenities and level of service offered, it can be a bit overwhelming. After reading this, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the level of service that perfectly matches the type of trip you’re envisioning.

Whether you’re looking for a comfortable base to enjoy all the resort's incredible inclusions, a little extra pampering, or the ultimate indulgence, there’s a perfect room category for every couple. Let me walk you through the differences between the Luxury, Club, and Butler Elite levels of service. **This applies to the majority […]

Look no further than Antigua, a slice of paradise nestled in the heart of the Caribbean. Over the summer, I was chosen by the Tourism Board of Antigua and Barbuda to experience everything these amazing islands have to offer.

Let me tell you why this island is one that can't be missed! A Symphony of Beaches: One of the most captivating features of Antigua is it’s collection of stunning beaches that seem to be straight out of a postcard.

  • Cruising in Europe: What’s not to Love?

    7/7/2023 • Blog, Cruises • As someone who normally flocks to the Caribbean islands for some reprieve, I wanted to try something a little different for my milestone birthday. Since my husband had never been to Europe, we thought we might do a “sampler” of various spots and the best way to do that was a cruise. There are so many great cruising options in Europe that we had a hard time deciding which one would be best for us. Europe has a lot of smaller cruise lines with a large focus on service, quality, and destination. Viking, AmaWaterways, and Azamara are a few examples. While it was a hard choice, we ultimately chose Azamara because of the itinerary it offered. Specifically, they dock for longer, including late night and even some overnight stays, which gave us more time to explore the destinations. They also tout themselves to be the leader in Destination Immersion experiences, […]

  • My husband and I booked a 27 year anniversary trip to Sandals Jamaica with Jen Arvin. She made it a breeze! She is super easy to talk to, very personable, and incredibly responsive. This was our first Sandals trip, our first all inclusive, and our first trip to Jamaica so we really didn't even know what we were looking for. Jen helped us figure out the kind of experience we wanted (which she hit the nail on the head). Within a couple of days, she sent over several options with a variety of places, amenities, and price points. We did this several times until we landed on Sandals Southcoast. She gave us her opinion but was never pushy. I never felt like a pain or high maintenance. As we approached the date, she shared extra information, tips, etc. During the trip, she was available to help us navigate a minor […]

  • Finding Jen was just what we needed to make this trip to Antigua amazing for our group. Jen made sure we had all the perfect rooms in the perfect places for each couple. She helped us to explore the many restaurants by making prearranged group reservations for us, even a beach dinner that we absolutely loved, and a great finale to the trip. Our group also visited the RedLine Spa and she had discounts waiting for us, and they did a great job helping us relax with essential oil massages. We were pampered in so many ways even down to the beach bags she provided for us for our many days by the pool. I have to say our trip may have still been fun if we planned it on our own, but Jen made it an amazing trip we will never forget and we will be calling her for […]

  • This is the second trip we have booked with Jen Morrison (the first was Sandals Jamaica) and it was AMAZING! Jen did a wonderful job helping us with every step of our Disney Vacation! We boarded the Galactic Starcruiser for an adventure in space and it was FANTASTIC! After, we went to each park! Jen went above and beyond to help us with all of our reservations, dining, and transportation. She made our trip seamless allowing us to have an amazing time! We will absolutely use her again for our next travel adventure!

  • Jen was just what the doctor ordered. After trying for three years to plan a magical family vacation for my granddaughters, I finally found a time that would work with their school schedules. I plan lots of events but after reading info on several websites, I became overwhelmed. I knew some of my must-haves (had to stay off site for a family of 9 due to cost) and needed to find ways to add extra perks without breaking the retirement bank. Jen was right there with me all along the way to figure out if we added this, didn't do that, we could do this :). During the planning phase, I got extremely ill and was unable to participate in some of the crazy morning prebookings hours (ADR) and fast passes, but Jen just got out her pixie wand and "poof" the magic happened while I was recovering. At this […]

  • Traveled to Disney World during valentines day week with my boyfriend. It was our first vacation ever and I cannot begin to describe how amazing it was all thanks to Jen! She made our vacation so easy! Every single silly question I had she answered super fast, she sent me awesome gifts and cards to get me all excited for our trip, she gave us great advice and was with us every step of the way before, during and after our trip. I can't begin to describe how happy I am to have met her and claim her as my travel agent! She took all of my stress and anxiety away and I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone planning a vacation! I already gave her info out to one of my friends who wants to go to Disney one day. I'm not too great at reviews or wording […]
