​Jamaica is such a special island in the Caribbean.  One of the most common thing people say if they’ve been to JamRock is how friendly and warm the people are.  And they really are! The vibe on the island is laidback with people who are genuinely warm, hospitable and happy.  You can walk through the market and hear folks humming Bob Marley or hear it at any bar. ​

What's better than getting married in the Caribbean.....

Brides and grooms will have the option to make a grand entrance on their special day by arriving to the wedding chapel in style via boat, too." (source Sandals In The News)

Sandals Resorts recently announced the overwater chapel addition to Sandals South Coast, formally Sandals Whitehouse, located on the pristine shores of Jamaica's South Coast.  The resort boasts all ocean front rooms, 3 luxury included villages, Butler service amenities, and newly opened Latitudes, Sandals first overwater bar -- drink your nightcap from a hammock suspended overtop of the Caribbean Sea, yes please!

I recently returned from another trip to St Lucia.  The island itself is stunning and lush and evokes a magical feel with it's rainforests and majestic famous peaks, the Pitons!
​Since this was not my first time to this tropical island I was already aware of some of things that make St Lucia so inviting to visitors from around the world!  However it was my sister's first trip here, so I was excited to share what I knew and already loved about this small Caribbean hot spot!

I always say "the further away the destination, the better it is" which is totally true in this case.  From the interior of British Columbia, Canada, this island is a bit of a distance to travel to.  St Lucia is located in the Eastern Caribbean, only 3 islands north of South America, boasting gorgeous weather, crystal clear waters and history dating back centuries.

This destination is ideal for couples wanting an exotic feel of a true tropical getaway with the comforts of well appointed accommodations and amenities! With day trips to the rainforest, waterfalls, mud baths, hot springs, deep sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, ziplining, snokeling, hiking, shopping, gambling, touring rum factories and banana plantations; there is endless possibility to keep busy.  And if you prefer to relax and unwind there are countless beaches, spas, pools and ways to escape in St Lucia!

Of course another reason to come to the Caribbean is the cool beverages, mouth watering food and fresh fruits! I was beyond please to find local fruit vendors selling homegrown, handpicked local fruits from their kayaks each day on the beach!  My kind of breakfast!

St Lucia offers a backdrop like none other to say "I do".  View breathtaking views of the Piton mountains to turquoise blues of the Caribbean Sea and tropical palm tree beaches you can be married in your choice of local!

St Lucia now features the Caribbean's first and only overwater chapel located at Sandals Grande St Lucian. Set at the end of a pier providing stunning 360 degrees views of Rodney Bay, featuring a glass bottom floor and ample space for loved ones to celebrate your I do's. This is the crème de la crème of locations. 

We've been lucky enough to travel to some of the world's most glamorous and awe-inspiring places, including Bora Bora.
​On our last trip to Bora Bora we went all out -- I mean ALL OUT.  We stayed at the Hilton Nui in the only two-story overwater bungalow in the South Pacific featuring a sauna, massage room, 2 suites, 3 full bathrooms, hot tub, infinity pool, and multiple decks and places to lounge around in the bungalow.  It was totally fabulous!

Now we won't need to travel as far to experience the glamour and lifestyle of the rich and famous with the opening of the overwater bungalows in Jamaica at Sandals Royal Caribbean!  Sandals is already know for offering luxurious accommodations and amenities featuring services that no other resort would include for free. And these overwater suite take the cake!

Reminiscent of a Tahiti–style bungalow, these gorgeous Over-the-Water Villas convey an intimate connection to the Caribbean Sea. From floating water hammocks to private glass floors—your villa delivers an immersive journey of the Caribbean's finest turquoise waters and rich marine life. Plus, guests can enjoy private boat transfers to and from the resort – all included.

Couples can admire the majestic beauty of the ocean from their private infinity pool and Jacuzzi with outdoor shower.  You don't even need to step outside to appreciate the Caribbean's best crystal-clear waters. With see-through glass floors, you can experience the ocean from the comfort of your luxurious villa. Lit water ensures you can enjoy the sea anytime day or night.

And of course in true Sandals style your own personal butler. Trained in accordance to the exacting standards of the Guild of Professional Butlers, who provide butlers to nobility and celebrities, your personal butler handles every detail of your vacation with unobtrusive grace.

Although these suites can be a one in a life time experience due to high demand and limited number of bungalows they are certainly worth the wait.  Just imagine a stress free relaxing vacation.  Where you can literally not move form your opulent room.  Your butlers can bring your morning fresh Jamaican coffee and muffins.  Then stick your toes into the clear Caribbean waters and see the abundance of fish and marine life floating all around you.  Needing an afternoon siesta, just lay back in your over water hammock, or deck lounge chair or one of the many other soft cozy curl up spots!
​When nightfall comes your butler will draw you a rose scented bubble bath completed with petals and champagne, perfect to unwind after a day in the sun.
