Has anyone booked their Honeymoon at Sandals? FH and I have decided we are going to book Sandals Antigua! (HORAY! ) The one thing we are unsure of is if we should book online, or with a Travel agent. Just curious what you guys have done.
Congrats!! I think my FH & I might book there too. I know if you book online, you just pay the $400 deposit and then you can pay it off over time. I wonder if you can do that with a TA too?

I never knew this, good to know. I've always booked with a TA and all I was required to pay up front was the airfare and could pay the rest off.

If I were you, I would book through Sandals, just incase you want to cancel or change it. Might be tricky with a travel agent. We booked Sandals in the Bahamas but I canceled it after seeing the reviews there. There was no fee to cancel. Or, ask the agent how that works and if they can get you a better price than what's on the website.

This! I spoke with a Sandals rep and they said you can change your room/resort upto 43 days out from your trip. Which is a feature I really liked about booking online.

Re: booking honeymoon/ Sandals
I am prob booking Sandals Grande in St Lucia soon (if I ever really decide lol) and am going through a TA. If there are any issues, delays, storms, etc I want a TA to call rather than an 800 number. I also will buy insurance for this level trip, since I am spending way more than I probably ever will again on a 8 or 9 night vacation.

You are too funny!
What about the Renaissance Aruba? At least they are outside the hurricane belt if you're concerned about that.
