Sandals Royal Bahamian . . . impressive in every way

Sandals Royal Bahamian

Spa Resort & Off Shore Island

in the beautiful Bahamas

Sandals Royal Bahamian is located minutes away from shopping downtown Nassau and a quick 10 minute ride form the airport. I love arriving to a resort that I have not been before, because a 1st impression last a long time. Sandals always greets you with a cold towel to freshen up with, which I love. Then I proceed to check out their lobby and court yard, it reflects the "old world charm", and decorated in bright blue colors to match the waters.

The main quiet pool.

I truly felt at home while here, it was a perfect size. There were three sections. The Royal Village, this area was in a lush garden and in the gardens were 3 small private pools. Now these rooms do not offer ocean views but much privacy. The two other areas are their towers, Manor House and the Royal Windsor Tower which both were amazing and full of endless sea views.

Pool and swim up bar on Sandals Cay.

This resort also features a private island, Sandals Cay, it hosts a fresh water pool with swim up bar, Cafe Goombay, and Spa, I loved the back side of this island so relaxing and private. when I enjoyed a wak around the island I saw couple all alone done at the end, it was like heaven.

The back side of the island so private and relaxing.

The water sports here are plenty full, one being the diving. did you know that you can dive up to twice per day at Sandals. Also they offer Hobie cats, Kayaks, Water trikes, windsurfing, and daily snorkeling excursions. They are all included in your package. One thing I always notice when I am at a Sandals resort is that all these activities you can do right off their beach,(you do not have to travel) and they truly make the available for you to enjoy.

Activity pool

The Royal Bahamian offers 2 large pools, 3 in the Royal Village, and 1 on Sandals Cay. a 24 hour

fitness center, on site entertainment, 9 gourmet restaurants and many bars also very fun theme nights.

My Minnesota Wedding Show

On Saturday I spent the day meeting couples at the My Minnesota Wedding Show in Monticello. It may have been snowing but is did not stop many couples to come and meet the areas Top Wedding Professionals. I love to see a little snow never stops a true Minnesotan.

Throughout the day I met many great people, and of course talked weddings and honeymoons all day. Some of the hot destinations brides were thinking about were, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico and Hawaii. With all the snow falling it was really easy to think about that dream honeymoon. Not only destinations were on the top of our conversation but so was all the extraordinary resorts to offer.
A few of the hot resorts: Sandals
Couples
El Dorado
Secrets
Palace Resorts


You may hear me say that this vacation will be one of the most memorable vacations you two take together as a married couple. With that in mind are you searching on your own? Where to go and what resort to select, all the options can be over whelming, consider having a travel expert help you with all the large and small details. I love to start our relationship with a few questions, this will help all of us.

Here is a thought to get you started;
Describe you Honeymoon in 3 to 5 words? Each of you do this, that will show you if you are on the same page of what style of honeymoon you both want.

Budget, this is a big word for some. Do not let it scare you, this maybe your first vacation on your own as an adult, in reality how are you to know what to budget. This again is where I will step in and advice what might be that typically budget for the style of honeymoon you want and from there we will see if that is a COMFORTABLE budget for the two of you.

Adam Welz was also there, the President of the Central Minnesota Wedding Association. He spent the day handing out the Bride Guide. If you do not have one and would like one please email me and I will mail you one.

A Honeymoon to Remember

A perfect picture honeymoon for a perfect couple . . . . where else but in the beautiful Island of Maui, Hawaii.

I was so excited to hear from Kindra and David this last February concerning the planning our their honeymoon. One of my passions are honeymoons and that maybe because of my own personal experience of my own honeymoon it was 10 years ago and we still talk about it.

Kindra and David already knew where they wanted to go however it was my job to personalize it find the perfect resort, and even suggested a convertible, in Hawaii this is a must! Below are some great pictures they have shared, you may notice that they visited the Pearl Harbor, I helped them plan a day trip over to Honolulu! It is a very fun and easy day trip no matter where you are in Hawaii.

This is what Kindra had to say about her and Davids honeymoon:

When trying to think of a destination for our honeymoon Dave and I wanted something tropical but low key and relaxing. Somewhere that we could both enjoy! We thought of Maui! Once we agreed on a destination we asked our DJ Adam Welz if he knew of any good travel agents. He gave us Nichole Winters contact information. Once we contacted Nichole everything went so smoothly. She listened to what we wanted and researched packages for us, and helped us in contacting someone at our Hotel so that we could pre-plan activities while in Hawaii. At such a hectic time for us planing our honeymoon was the easiest thanks to Nichole.

Westin: We both enjoyed the resort. The landscaping by the pool areas was so beautiful, and waterfalls were everywhere! It was so relaxing to sit by the pool! The staff was so nice, and the hotel lobby was beautiful. The first night when we arrived at the hotel we were so tired from the long day of traveling, and we were graciously greeted by the valet, then we walked into the lobby and the first thing we saw was a waterfall, and pink flamingos! The hotel offers so many activities! Great for all ages! The hotel also has stores where you can buy gifts, and necessities ( drinks, cameras, sun block, ect. and is open late!

Favorite Thing we did:We both enjoyed every moment of our stay! The surf lessons that we had right outside the Westin were a lot of fun for both of us! The instructors and staff at the school are very patient and so kind!We also enjoyed the drive to Hana. ( We drove in our rental car, but there are tours you can take, but we enjoyed being able to take our time at each stop!) If you drive the road to Hana on your own there is a special CD you can buy, and you start to play it at a special point ( directions and map come with the CD) and it will tell you what you are seeing! It was great! There were so many beautiful stops on the way!
We also enjoyed the Gemini Sailing Tour and the Pearl Harbor tour! The staff on the Gemini was so nice and very welcoming!

. . . and Thank You David and Kindra you were a joy to work with, I love helping clinets with such an important vacation as a new married couple.
