A quick hello and a question about Sandals

Hi all! Now that I'm back in school full-time I thought I'd have more time to play on the boards...WRONG! I'm as busy as ever, if not more so. So I've been a bit MIA lately but I've been thinking of you all and just wanted to say hi.

I also wondered if any of you had ever been to any of the Sandals resorts and if so, which one(s) and what kind of deal did you get, if you don't mind my asking? DH and I want to go somewhere Caribbean (preferably not Jamaica, as I've already been) and preferably all-inclusive with MOH and her hubby either around New Years or in March for my spring break, but we are finding the rates are really high, both for the resorts and, even more so, for the flights to get there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Never been to Sandals.

Just want to say HI

I hope you settle into your new schedule soon so you will have more time for us (read - ME)

He he, thanks Becky. So when the heck are we ever gonna meet up in person? I mean, since we live so close and after all, I've already met Keith...

I went to Sandals St. Lucia in June (which is their rainy season) and got 30% off. Anytime you go away during a holiday it is considered peak and the prices shoot up

Alison, the air rates to the carribean have gone up, in general and they are most expensive around the holiday season, not just air, but a lot of carribean resorts. You may be better off waiting until march and going then (less of a peak time).

Never been to Sandals, but having looked at their rates for honeymoon we thought they were overpriced (as a general rule)

Went to the sandals beaches turks and caicos but we took our son, its a family one.
It was awesome but I dont know if this is the one you would be interested in

We went to St. Lucia Golf & Spa..and LOVED it

I have been to Sandals Antigua and Sandals Bahamas. The bahamas trip was a comp trip because of all the problems we had in Antigua. I would definetely choose Bahamas over Antigua any day. We had so so many problems. Half the restaurants were closed, no bartenders at the bars(guests ended up tending bar) Cockroaches all over the rooms, etc. There was also always an armed guard right at the beach and the sandals resort making sure nobody that wasnt a guest would come on the property. We didnt like it there.
