    Air transportation and ground transportation are NOT required. We only need reservations for the Hotel part of the vacation. Resort: Secrets Maroma Beach Arrival: January 17th Depart: January 24th We're ready to book in the next few days as all other arrangements have been made. Thanks!
    Sent you great rate via email - hope we can assist.
    My husband and I were scheduled for our honeymoon this December at Sandals Whitehouse. However, we just found out that this resort closed unexpectedly until December 18th. Therefore, Sandals took it upon themselves to move our trip to Sandals Montego Bay. Although they upgraded us to a better room, I have read many bad reviews about this resort. What should I believe? I have the insurance on the trip, what are my options? HELP!!!
    Sandals Montego Bay is a nice resort, just very different than that of Sandals Whitehouse. The beach is smaller and the property is older and it's right next to the airport so airport noise will be heard... That being said, the resort is lively with a good location to explore the Montego Bay area....rooms are mostly renovated and the food is the same as at Whitehouse. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Also, if you haven't made final payment yet, you can still switch your reservation to work with an agency like ours, where we could put in further requests for upgrades, etc. at no additional cost. Let me know if we can assist. Also, Sandals Whitehouse will be reopening, so if you really wanted that resort, we can assist you in delaying your trip until January.
    I'm looking for a all inclusive trip in Feb 0f 2010 that would be no more than 2000 dollars for my wife and I for 5 night. I have heard there are some great deals but is this realistic price or am I way to low?
    There are plenty of opportunities that should be in your price range in both the Caribbean and Mexico - we'll be in touch via email with some options.
