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. |

My husband and I are wanting to take a 40th birthday trip. Friends have asked about a Big Party. We wanted to go to Jamaica but thought that may be too expensive for others. Any suggestions for a beach celebration 40th birthday party for a group of 20 people from St. Louis, MO? (Sept. 2010 dates) Thanks.

|
| First of all, Jamaica may not be too expensive - we might be able to find some great value properties there like the Iberostar Rose Hall or Rose Hall Suites, the Grand Palladium properties, the Bahia Principe properties, Breezes, or others. In addition to Jamaica, we can put together some great group rates to Mexico (Riviera Maya, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, or Cabo), Dominican Republic (Punta Cana or Puerto Plata), the Bahamas, or even some of the other Caribbean Islands. We'll email you more information. |
