🌴 Today is the last day to book your club, concierge, or butler suite with me to get these extra perks! This is good not just for the adults-only Sandals resorts, but for the family friendly Beaches resorts too!✨

🌺 Both Sandals and Beaches resorts are all-inclusive, and that really means ALL! Meals, snacks, 🍹alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, airport transportation, activities, 🏄‍♂️motorized and non motorized water sports including scuba diving (2 tanks per day if you’re certified, if you’re not certified you can complete your certification onsite at many of the resorts!)🐠, entertainment, even TIPS are included!

🩵 Another thing I love about Sandals resorts is that they give back to the islands through the Sandals Foundation! With a focus on Education, Community and the Environment, they are committed to making a positive and sustainable impact on the islands they call home 🐢. They also buy local and hire locally too- which benefits the islands economy but also gives you a much more authentic experience as you get to eat all the delicious local food and meet all the friendly local people!❤️

With resorts in Curacao, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent, let me help you find the perfect one for you! 🎯

🌺 Just a reminder, if you book your Sandals or Beaches trip with me in a club, concierge, or butler suite by May 4th, you’ll get some extra freebies to make your trip even more dreamy! 🌴AND these are combinable with many of the other current Sandals promotions as well! ✨
