  • Sandals Resorts
    Sandals Resorts ACCORDING TO GORDON “BUTCH” STEWART, FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF SANDALS RESORTS INTERNATIONAL (SRI), TIME AND VALUE are driving the increasing demand for luxury all-inclusive resorts. “The research is in and it’s clear: Americans are working more and taking fewer vacation days. With time at a premium, these travelers want the convenience of an all-inclusive experience without giving up the luxury setting, amenities, and services they have earned. This is what’s behind the suites of Sandals Resorts, the pinnacle of our brand’s continued evolution,” says Stewart. The company Stewart created more than 30 years ago continues to be the most innovative in the all-inclusive category, and new luxury suite con- cepts designed for privacy and ultimate pampering are truly redefi ning the Luxury-Included® Sandals Resorts (sandals.com) experience. Indulgent, private, and incredibly romantic, these suites have earned the moniker “LoveNest Suites,” and all come with personal butlers trained exclusively for Sandals Resorts by the Guild of Professional English Butlers, adding an unmatched, personalized touch to the vacation experience. In the Caribbean, suites simply don’t get more lavish than these pictured below. Skypool Suites at Sandals LaSource – Perched atop the Italian Village at Sandals LaSource Grenada, Millionaire Suites at Sandals Regency LaToc – Cantilevered above the resort’s highest point with an these magnifi cent oversize suites feature a full living room with butler pantry, wet bar, indoor dining unobstructed 180-degree view of the Caribbean, the Millionaire Suites at Sandals Regency LaToc in St. table, plush sofa and chairs, fl at-screen TV, and a pool in the sky.

  • Which Island Is Right for Your Vacation?
    Which Island is Right for Your Vacation? Every Caribbean island has the same or similar crystal blue water, soft, white sand and tasty rum punch. But depending on the type of vacation you're looking for - a place to meet singles or activities to occupy your kids - every resort is not the same. If you're an avid deep sea fisherman, you'll want to go where the best fish are. If you're looking for that special someone, you'll also want to go where the best fish are - just not the same kind of fish. Here's the low-down on some island vacation spots that might best fit your needs. Family Resorts The Travel Channel's website lists Atlantis Resort and Casino (Paradise Island, Bahamas) as the top family-friendly destination. With its water slides, underground aquarium and more than 50,000 animals, it's a great place to have fun in the sun. For adults, Atlantis has 38 restaurants, features leading night club acts and offers a popular casino. And, of course, tons of shopping! Use your Hyatt points at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino. A freshwater lagoon stocked with fish and wildlife, two water slides and a children's camp are sure to please. Couples Resorts Sandals is known for its romantic (adults only) getaways. Sandals has seven resorts in Jamaica, as well as several others in St. Lucia, Bahamas and Antigua. The website Luxury Resort Bliss lists the top 100 couples only resorts. At the top of their list? Secrets Capri Riviera in Cancun.

    SANDALS RESORTS DELIVER SPECTACULAR LUXURY INCLUDED® VACATIONS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAY MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – Pristine white-sand beaches, breezy green palm trees and lush gardens running along a deep blue sea are the signature landscapes of the Caribbean – and of Sandals Resorts. Guests who stay at any one of the 12 Sandals Resorts in Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua and The Bahamas can be sure that each resort takes every measure possible to conserve the natural beauty of its surroundings. Sandals Resorts recognizes that the travel and tourism industry has the potential to contribute significantly to environmental preservation and is fully committed to this effort. Progressive green programs, which incorporate environmental protection measures into the management of each property, are implemented at every Sandals Resort. Environmental managers at every property oversee the integrity of the programs, which reduce energy and water consumption, improve solid waste and wastewater disposal, prevent air pollution, protect marine life and foster strong bonds with local communities. Within the resorts, Sandals combats waste management with a number of programs designed to reduce the amount of garbage that the properties send to landfills. This includes composting, paper recycling, offering drinking straws only upon request and recycling many items, including kitchen grease, cardboard boxes and bottles. Sandals Resorts also takes measures to conserve fresh water and energy by pouring and refilling water only upon request, installing water-efficient showerheads and aerators in guestrooms, and using energy-efficient light bulbs and solar water heaters. “At Sandals Resorts, we take the environment very seriously and make sure that our operations do not disturb or negatively impact it in any way,” said Richard May, Group Director of Environmental Affairs, Sandals Resorts.
