Savor the enchantment of your own private hideaway for two, replete with those extra-special opulent touches that let you know you’ve found heaven on earth. Walk under towering fishtail palms and past overflowing bougainvillea in brilliant shades of purple and pink, as you head to the secluded perfection of your room or suite. Languish idly in the luxurious embrace of your king-size bed, built expressly for two. Close your eyes and drink in the unique peace and comfort of your personal sanctuary where the birdsong lulls you and the soothing sounds of waves promise you an eternity of romance.
At Sandals Halcyon Beach even the air itself seems full of passion, as sultry days melt seamlessly into steamy nights and lovers’ most secret fantasies pale in comparison to the glorious reality of each magical moment. |

My husband and I are celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary at the Sandals Royal Bahamian during Memorial Day Weekend. We booked a concergie room- it it worth it to upgrade to the butler suites?
|
|
|
|
|
| Thanks on your note and congrats on the 1 year anniversary.
1) The upgrade to butler really depends on the difference in cost and what is important to you. The butler rooms at SRB are definitely nicer than the concierge ones, the butler service is always a nice touch, and private rolls/Mercedes transfers are always welcomed. But of course, the upgraded room costs more - so depending on your details, I could better give you a feel for the difference in costs.
2) I assume that you booked thru Sandals directly since you are asking us your questions. If you did, and still haven't made final payment yet, you can still request to switch your existing reservation to our agency (with no changes/costs) and we can work with you to both advise you on room decisions and also send a note to the manager before you arrive, ensuring they know it's both your anniversary and hopefully getting you the best possible upgrade based on availability.
Let us know and we'll be glad to assist.

order)
El Dorado Maroma, El Dorado Seaside, Secrets Maroma,
The Royal Playa del Carmen, Secrets Capri, Royal Hideaway, and Excellence Playa Mujeres.
We'd be glad to discuss the good and bad of each and provide pricing.
Congrats on 30 years.

My husband and I are looking into belated summer (june - aug) beachy honeymoon. We eat out at nice restaurants and cook well. Food and drink are probably the most important to us. Golf is an added plus. Is there an all inclusive that you sould recommend for us foodies?
|

|
|
| We'd be glad to assist you. Don't know if you have a locations that you are interested in or not....but here are some resorts that come to mind.
1) Riviera Maya Mexico-
El Dorado resorts have the best food in our opinion. No buffets, all cooked to order meals....blows us away every time we go. They have 3 different resorts, each with their own good/bad that we can walk you thru. No golf included, but available nearby.
Other options in the area we'd recommend are:
Iberostar Grand Paraiso - great resort, great food, discounted golf walking distance away
Secrets Maroma - great resort, great food, discounted golf nearby
2) Sandals -
New Sandals just opened in Exuma, Bahamas. Restaurants are all brand new, top notch and the resort sits on a Greg Normal golf course with discounted rates. Bahamas also offering buy 1/get 1 free special on the airfare. All butler property.
Other sandals would work also.
Looking forward to your feedback.
