1000% RECOMMEND! We absolutely LOVED our long-at-last-beach-honeymoon (22 years late! LOL). I admit, I was stressing just trying to plan a couples vacation… where to go, where to stay, what to do, where to eat, what airlines to fly, and all the extras… Seriously, I was ready to just stay home. We wanted a kid-free, stress-free vacation that was turning into anything but that! My endless searching brought me to Sandals. At first glance, it seemed a little pricey, but I was ready to pay it just to be stress-free! Best Decision Ever! We had an absolutely blast the entire week~ stress-free, kid-free, fun and sun-filled time. We LOVED the NO-Stress, All-Inclusive, Treated like Royalty, Everything was Taken Care of, Beach Vacation. It had enough relaxation coupled with fun excursions to make Sandals worth every penny!! HIGHLY Recommend! Feel Free to ask questions!
