1000% RECOMMEND! We absolutely LOVED our long-at-last-beach-honeymoon (22 years late! LOL).

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!

Food though?? We ATE.

I skipped a couple of places that tend to show up on tourists lists because I didn't have time or it was out of the way. I skipped Deadwood and and the Crazy Horse memorial.
