Recently, I’ve been getting some questions about Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa closing its doors. I wanted to reassure everyone that coming December 18th, our resort on Jamaica’s untouched South Coast will be back, even more magnificent than ever before!

In keeping with Sandals Resorts’ commitment of ensuring that each one of our guests has the most unforgettable and best vacation of their lives every single time they stay with us, we’re constantly refining, upgrading and improving our resorts. As the industry leaders, we’re always in search of something even better than perfection. We simply won’t settle for anything less.

So, that’s why we decided to temporarily close Whitehouse and spend the next few months taking this property to new heights. We’re leaving no stone unturned in our mission to create a completely renewed and spectacular resort for two people in love. Some of the major enhancements we’ve planned include totally spruced up public areas, improvements to our beachfront rooms and suites and a revamped and even more incredible Red Lane® Spa including an unbelievable health and wellness concept guaranteed to take your client’s vacation experience to a whole new level.

So get ready… in a few short months, for a brand new Sandals Whitehouse that will literally take your breath away!

Sandals Whitehouse is sure to make a BIG Splash when it reopens on December 18th, 2009

Tables for two under the stars around the Venetian piazza or at one seven gourmet specialty restaurants make for a perfect dining experience!

The endless stretch of beach at this five star diamond resort is second to none!

I’m so excited to talk about a new addition to the Sandals and Beaches family…as if we didn’t already have enough Stewart’s in the clan, we’re unbelievably proud to welcome another Stewart to our line-up, Martha Stewart that is!

We’re always looking for new ways to raise the bar on our product and reinforce our position as innovators in the industry, and that is why beginning January 2010 we’ll be ready to welcome your clients with all-new and exclusive Sandals and Beaches Weddings by Martha Stewart.

Martha and her team have personally designed the 5 customizable wedding packages, along with over-the-top enhancements like rose petal pathways, bonfire beach parties, tailored wedding gifts and welcome amenities, just to name a few, that will make any destination wedding experience at Sandals or Beaches Resort second to none.

And if this news wasn’t already exciting enough, we will introduce Martha Stewart craft classes for couples at Sandals Resorts to make your romantic vacation last a lifetime and craft camps for families to enjoy at Beaches Resorts!

I got to hand it to Martha and her team – after spending the weekend with her at Beaches Turks & Caicos, even I was feeling a little bit crafty.
        It was a feast fit for kings and queens, Caribbean-style, at the all-new Barefoot by the Sea Restaurant in the new Italian Village at Beaches Turks.
