Sandals Montego Bay April/May 2018

5/17/2018

0 Comments

 
Another vacation to one of our favorite islands,  Jamaica!   We stayed at newly updated Sandals Montego Bay in the new swim-out suites (Seagrapes Building)   We adored the swim out experience, from hanging out on the patio with the tranquility soaking tub, then just stepping into the lagoon and floating away with cocktails in hand....it does not get any better than that!

A huge plus about staying at Sandals Montego Bay, it's about a 5 minute transfer from the airport, you get to use their two other resorts, (transportation included) Sandals Inn and Sandals Royal Caribbean, which leaves you around 17 dining options.

As always, the food is fantastic, the alcohol unlimited, land and watersports included and wallet locked in the safe (tipping is never allowed on property)  As many times as we have visited Sandals Montego Bay, we never dined at Tokyo Joe's, we finally gave it a try and enjoyed the food so much we went a second time.  Cafe de Paris is nothing but pure trouble because it's just that good!, with their boozy (or not) cappuccinos, latte's, scoops of ice cream and unlimited fresh baked treats, truly irresistible.  All of the restaurants were just wonderful.

The grounds at every Sandals and Beaches that I have been to is so so perfectly manicured, the palms, shrubbery, flowers and lawns.  Is just simply beautiful!  The staff is always so happy and friendly which makes for a very pleasant stay and the reason why we always return.

With this resort being so close to the airport, there is plane noise and you can see the planes coming in for a landing and leaving as well.....the noise is quick and lasts for less than 5 seconds, not an issue at all for us and all the other loyal guests that return year after year. 

Looking forward to my next Sandals/Beaches experience.......stay tuned.

Savannah, Georgia & Hilton Head, SC.  March 2018

We decided on a short getaway and a first time visiting Savannah, GA.  We spent 2 nights at the River Street Inn, and opted for a room with a balcony and river view.....well worth the bit extra in pricing.  Then add in free daily happy hour, with free wine and appetizers, it's a win. win situation!
We valeted the rental car and never used it again until it was time to leave for Hilton Head.

The first day arrival in Savannah, we stopped at the highly recommended Betty Bombers for lunch... a must stop to take you back in time to the 40's, food was very good.

Everything in this area of Savannah is walkable and with so many interesting historic sites. The cemeteries and graveyards, while a bit erie IMO, were pretty amazing!
B Matthews Breakfast was awesome and one cannot visit Savannah without a stop at Leopold's Ice Cream . OMG, some of the best ice cream ever!

Dinner for the first night was a restaurant that friends recommended we visit called Corleone’s Italian Restaurant, and we did.  It was so good that we went back for the second night.

​The next day we headed out to spend a few days in Hilton Head....while very nice for some, we decided that we should have stayed in Savannah instead of driving from one place to another. (day in and out)  We were not impressed and talked about taking a day early flight home.  Hilton Head could be considered a golfers dream to some, but not being golfers....it was far from a dream.  In Our Opinion

We look so forward to another trip back to beautiful Savannah!
