Thinking of a great getaway to a tropical location? Give some thought to what is important to you. Nice long walking beach? Calm clear water? Small, medium, or large ... even MEGA resort? How far do you want to travel between airport and your resort? Do you want an all luxury-included resort? Do you want to be close to a lot of excursions? Give this some thought and then contact us to help plan your getaway 🙂

Ever since Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica in October 2025, three Sandals resorts in Jamaica have been closed: Sandals South Coast, Sandals Montego Bay, and Sandals Royal Caribbean (now called Sandals Caribbean Cay).

If you don’t know, we live in New England in the US. From here, it’s not real easy to get to the Caribbean. There just aren’t many direct flights to any of the islands and it’s even difficult to get a connection that gets to an island the same day that you start your journey.
