Hello Mitch!!! We LOVED Sandals Negril! One night they scattered flower petals throughout the room and lit candles. We got massages and went on a catamaran to Margaritaville where they had us work in 3 different teams to build a tiki hut. That was fun! We went snorkeling and kayaked to a little island and had a local cook us a lobster right in front of us. Very shady but they were friendly and the lobster was amazing. We gave them $30 for two lobsters! Overall an amazing trip! Next time I think we will do direct flights for sure. The trip there wasn't bad but coming home was soooo long. And my only huge complaint is that we didn't see a sunset :( But that gives us a reason to go back. It was cloudy almost every night.
While we were there I found out you can sign up for free for a sandals card? If you stay 70 nights at any sandals you get a week free! When I went to sign up the bus had pulled up and I never had a chance to. Can I still do that do you know? Obviously it would take us years to build that up but if it doesn't expire then we plan on staying at Sandals again!
Thanks for everything!

Hi Fayette, The trip to Riu Palace Punta Cana was great. The hotel was beautiful and the people there were wonderful. Probably the nicest people that we've met on any island. I'll try to attach a picture of the view from the room. It was an upgrade because the standard room we booked was garden view. The flight was also very good, never flew Delta before, but we both liked the airline. The food at the hotel was great. We ate at the Japanese, the steakhouse, the gourmet and the Italian which was our favorite twice. And the buffet two nights and every morning for breakfast also very good. So if you have anyone who is interested in this hotel, you can give them my email address if they have any questions. I just don't understand why this Riu gets so many bad reviews on Tripadvisor. If you need anymore info let me know. And we're thinking about taking the kids there in May when my son graduates. |

Mitch, We had a fabulous time and everything went as smoothly as you can imagine. As you may recall, this was our second visit to Ocean Blue and I believe they have made some improvements - certainly with regard to the food. They must have hired a new chef and increased their food budget! We loved every minute of it and had perfect weather.
Thank you for making everything run so smoothly. Our airport transportation was easy as can be and it was personal, i.e. we were the only ones in the van, which we certainly did not expect. And our room was perfect. On the first floor, as we requested, and with a view of the pool and central grounds.
Thanks again.

Dear Sherri,
|
Besides the stress of the boys constantly fighting and wanting to be at the pool and not the parks, the trip to Disney World was good. The transportation to and from the airport was great, we didn't have to wait long. Pop Century was fine, just like any of the other value resorts (or at least I can compare it to Movies, since I've stayed there in the past), the room was clean. Actually I think I would like to take our little one in 2-3 yrs. He was telling everyone we "forgot him" - way to pull on the mommy guilt! We loved the Garden Grill in Epcot, the food was excellent . We also went to the Rainforest Cafe which is great for the atmosphere, the food was ok, and the rest was all quick service & snacks, which was also surprisingly decient, We didn't really use many fast passes since there really were no lines, it was AWESOME! I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much:)
By the way, we ended up the last day with 2 meals left after we ate breakfast & 25 snacks, so I loaded up on snacks & took two pizza's on the plane for lunch, it worked out great, the only money we spent on food the whole time was the 2 table services we paid for, we figured it saved us a good $600-800 - what a deal! I love the transportation to the parks, the boys loved the parades and the barber shop, and even though you wouldn't have known it when we where there, they say they loved it & had a great time!

I will definitely let you know when we are able to take another trip! Actually I am going to give your name to my parents since they do a lot of traveling & if I can find someone to watch all my boys we may go with them in 2011 when they take my sister on a cruise for her 40th.

Thank you again Sherri :) Have great holidays! I will try to send business your way, your the best!

Hey Mitch,
We made it back last night from Excellence Playa Mujeres and everything was Amazing! No, we didn't get the room requested, but we really can't complain about the view we had so we were more than satisfied. We'll just have to try again next time (as Mark and I are already looking forward to our next trip there).
Thanks for all of your help! We couldn't have imagined a better (and more relaxing) Honeymoon. You were the best to work with.
Sara & Mark |
