(Editor”™s note: Westfair senior beauty and luxury travel writer Debbi K. Kickham files this report from Sandals, the resort group that has become a kind of home away from home for her: )
I love Sandals. I”™ve been to so many Sandals resorts around the Caribbean, including my recent trip to Emerald Bay in Exuma in The Bahamas. I”™ve said it before and I”™ll say it again: Once you travel to an all-inclusive luxury resort, you”™ll never want to go back to a mere hotel stay, where you are usually nickel-and-dimed for everything. Sandals resorts include all of your alcohol and spirits, as well as all of your meals and even great snacks that you”™ll find at their venues, like the adorable Café de Paris. (There”™s a Nutella crepe there with my name on it.) What I also love about Sandals is that it feeds my body and soul. There”™s nothing quite like parking yourself in the quiet pool ”“ where they don”™t even make blender drinks, as they”™re too noisy, and where your spirit will be lifted by the beautiful flora, greenery and talcum-powder beach that beckons beyond.
The only thing better than that the quiet pool? Well, how about the 90-minute Raindrop Dreams Massage using seven essential oils, a posh pampering to soothe your achin”™ bacon? Factor in a private candlelight dinner on the beach, and you have romance redefined. I suggest making arrangements right now for your Sandals winter vacation. Hardcore winter will be here before you know it, and you”™ll be yearning to leave the chilly Northeast for the karma of a Caribbean trip. www.Sandals.com
