Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Continued View Full Album   The next day after a wonderful welcome party we had the opportunity to tour Grande Ocho Rios. It offers a fantastic quiet and romantic Red Lane Spa (as do all Sandals Resorts). A discotheque that opens up at night with some real “get your groove on” music. A beautiful pool with walk up bar, and of course a huge hot tub. Some fabulous locations for weddings including an over water gazebo. A variety of restaurants with different cuisine choices. We Also got to tour some of the more luxurious villa suites. One in particular, a beautiful private suite with its own lunge pool and Jacuzzi. Beautiful Mahogany furniture with the infamous butler service. If you like to be pampered and enjoy a vacation or honeymoon where you do no more than relax butler service is the best choice for you! Our last day at Grande Ocho Rios was that indeed GRAND. The resort hosted a beautiful dinner on the dock under the starlit sky. We got a great pr...

Cool, with comfy seats and of course the infamous Red Stripe on tap, it was a nice snippet of the kind of service that would be extended throughout for the duration of our stay. Our transfer over to the resort was not only beautiful, with the beautiful scenic views of the blue sea, gorgeous mountains, lustr...

As a Wedding Coordinator I have come to realize that a honeymoon is a necessity! All the stresses, the money invested, the constant time given to planning a wedding deserves a getaway for just two. Couples it seems have been investing all their time and effort into planning the wedding that they forget about the importance of the honeymoon. It's the first vacation a couple spends together as husband and wife. Great for bonding, relaxing and also it’s the first memories they share together as newlyweds. This is a great opportunity to find a honeymoon that will be enjoyed and remembered for many years to come. Lets get creative! Resorts are at the forefront of all honeymoon choices and of course the Caribbean is the leading destination choice! How can you make a resort choice a little more exciting? There is one resort that is leading in innovation! Sandals Luxury Included vacations is a different way to enjoy a resort honeymoon. Offering several destinations across the Caribbean...

Wedding Recession? - It Does Not Have To Be The largest mistake a newly engaged couple makes is the assumption that an elaborate wedding means an elaborate budget. A properly planned wedding can be quite cost effective. It’s simple prioritization. Lists, lists, and more lists. Write out the necessities for your wedding. Venue, menu selection, music and photographer are some of the most shared necessities amongst couples planning their wedding. They are also items that should be taken care of well in advance of the wedding. Make a budget and keep on track. A common practice amongst couples is spending unconsciously. Sit down as a couple and come up with an estimate of your total spending amount. Make a list of all of your wedding expenses and allot a certain amount of your estimated total to each item on this list. This will allow you to have an approximate total of what you would like to spend when you meet with your vendors. Here are a few ideas to get the best stretch out of ...
