SANDALS EMERALD BAY Exumas, Bahamas - As seen thru Honeymooners eyes


Hillary,


Almost everything was above and beyond everything we’d expected. The conditions I provided (white sand, blue water, privacy, nightlife or lack thereof, golf, excursions) were met fully. WE HAD A BLAST. We will go back there someday, but probably on a different budget. That was totally once in a lifetime for now….we’ll work on making it a more regular trip.


Thank you so much for putting it all together, and for the special treat sent to our room.

 I dinged the resort on their technology. When I’m there I don’t want to use the internet often. So, when I had to use the internet to sign a contract and return it, it took way too long. They tried to charge me $6 for computer/printer use, but then the fax was free =) Since I didn’t get charged in the end, the hour that it took me to complete the task was not terrible. When I was asked about what I would improve, I said “the internet, so when I have to use it, I can get in and get out in just a few minutes”


On the last day, the resort couldn’t even call off the island to run my credit card (phone systems down) so that’s where they were with technology. Sprint cell phones no longer work there. So, if you’re sending people there, let them know that cell phones are iffy, and internet was very sketchy. There were a few days where I could not use the internet at all. I actually lost the deal on my new house while I was there because I wasn’t receiving emails. Not a big deal, because we’re back on track with the house, but it was just one of those things that we shook our heads about both at the bank and at Sandals internet.


Again everything went very well. I’m a “lessons learned” kind of person so I’ll always have a list of “what worked” and “what could be improved”. The issues I ran into were minuscule so we had no hard feelings (or arguments) for the resort.

 Thanks Hillary for providing a week of memories to last a lifetime.
