Sandals Antigua Review

Dear Peter and Sally  Premium Honeymoons at Cook Travel Vacations.

   We are forever grateful for our Sandals honeymoon      adventure to Sandals Antigua. We had an unbelievably  wonderful  trip and memories that will last a lifetime.  Words can’t  express our appreciation for your help.  Hopefully the  attached pictures reveal our joy and  thankfulness. We  spent four of six full days indulging at  the resort, mostly  eating, drinking, and laying on the  beach. The resort was  spectacular!! We stayed in the big  Mediterranean Village  building, but enjoyed meandering  through the Sandals Antigua Caribbean  side discovering  its hidden pools. We are beach people but still enjoyed the enormous pool in the late afternoon. We ate at all 10 restaurants and tried every liquor, wine and beer available. We participated in a dance competition, sang karaoke, went snorkeling, and paddled out to sea in the ocean kayaks. We even made it to the casino next door where we won $300 in 5min! This resort was so much fun!!

We spent two days off resort, one day exploring Antigua  and one day on Barbuda. On Antigua, we explored the  capital city St Johns and took a taxi to the southern tip of t he island to the Old Royal Navy Dockyard and Shirley  Heights. We also walked off property to the Salt Marshes  and caught a rare glimpse of the endangered West Indian  Whistling Duck and White-Cheeked Teal Duck. Amazing!  Our trip to Barbuda was unforgettable, aside from the three  hour roller coaster ferry ride to Barbuda (it normally takes  1.5 hours in good ocean conditions). Barbuda is an  untouched Caribbean island wilderness that was indescribably beautiful. No pictures can do it justice and we must go back one day. The Frigate Bird Sanctuary was truly remarkable. We were lucky enough to see the birds during the breeding season when they puff up their red air sacks for mating.

Sadly, we did not get to participate in the Sandals Foundation Reading excursion (we were told the kids were out of school for the holidays) but they had a local children come sing and dance to Christmas songs which was very sweet. We found the Antiguan people to be very friendly and proud of their country. We truly enjoyed learning about their culture and the island of Antigua.

What an unforgettable honeymoon! Thank you so much!

Love,      Blake and Rebecca
