Grenada

August 2022

Excited to go to Sandals Royal Grenada! It has been on my list for so long but the flight is long and expensive so it was put off a lot, we’ll finally I am going.

Left Miami with a rainbow in the sky and arrived in Grenada with another rainbow
🇬🇩

Beautiful evening when we finally arrived.

Beautiful day at Sandals Grenada, local breakfast, the beach and the pool 💙

Dinner at the Italian Restaurant with visits from our Butlers

So much fun on our bar crawl through Grenada 🇬🇩 and sunset on Grand Anse Beach ☀️

The best experiences in a new country are when you leave the resort and learn about local food and customs. We learned so much about the history of Grenada, the food and the people in a fun way. We learned how to make Grenada’s National dish, Oil Down, in a private villa overlooking the water. This purely Grenadian dish is made with breadfruit, coconut milk, dumplings, turmeric, callaloo, saltfish, smoked herring, chicken or salted beef. We chose chicken and fish for today. Plus we made fresh Caribbean style lobster salad and chocolate mousse. Grenada is known as the Spice Island and especially for nutmeg, but it is also known for some of the finest cocoa in the Caribbean. We enjoyed chopping and dicing while talking about all the different ingredients and the tradition of Oil Down. While it simmered on the stove we relaxed with rum punch and swam in the pool.

Last day in Grenada after a wonderful time 💗

Enjoying the lazy days of summer in Grenada 🇬🇩
A swim out suite is a must on your vacation and having good friends to enjoy it with 😊

Sandals Royal Plantation

September 2021

Sandals Royal Plantation is an all suite and all Butler boutique resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Set on a cliff, the views from every level down to the beach are gorgeous.

The entrance is so stately and Old World, I love it.

The lobby is just as elegant.

The property is small and beautiful, so easy to navigate. The views are beautiful in all directions looking over the sparkling sea. I love the contrast of the pink umbrellas and blue water.

The Spa and Gym above and then some pictures of the different rooms in the resort.

The game room and some areas to relax and look out over the beautiful grounds.

From the pool perched on the edge of the cliff down through the gardens to the beach, the resort is verdant and lush, a true tropical paradise. There is a casual beachside restaurant and bar right on the sand. In the evenings it is a gourmet restaurant on the water.

The beach is very nice, water sports available and plenty of places to relax with a book too.

The is the perfect resort for honeymooners or those that enjoy a more relaxed experience and boutique atmosphere. Every room having a Butler is another perk and the food and service are excellent. Sandals Royal Plantation is a favorite 💜

Sandals Grande Antigua

November 2022

Excited to meet up with some friends at Sandals Grande Antigua for a fun reunion. The resort is so pretty, the landscape lush and on the most beautiful beach, Dickenson Bay.

I love the Rondovals, circular freestanding rooms with a private outdoor area with a small pool and hot tub.

Time for the beach, Dickenson Bay is picture perfect 🏖

A beautiful evening started with a gorgeous sunset on the beach, cocktails around the resort, a delicious French dinner and a great time with friends 💗
