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
