The Stars Come Out in Full Swing for a Good Cause at the All-New Sandals Emerald Bay

In true Sandals fashion, we played host yet again to another star-studded weekend at the brand new, and totally spectacular, Sandals Emerald Bay, to benefit The Sandals Foundation.

Many famous faces, some already familiar to the Sandals and Beaches party scene, spent the weekend enjoying all this incredible resort and destination has to offer.  Even Maria Menounos and her Access Hollywood crew were back again for more Sandals action after helping us ring in the opening of the Italian Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos last May.  They captured some of the very best shots of the First Annual Sandals Celebrity Golf Weekend and, as you’ll see from the photos, there were a lot of one-of-a-kind moments to choose from.

As usual, we rolled out the red carpet for a truly amazing celebration, like only Sandals can do! 

Jason Mesnick, no longer a Bachelor, brought his new bride, Molly, for a second honeymoon, along side Roxy Olin from MTV’s The City and Ryan Rottman from Nickolodeon’s Gigantic.

 

No Trauma here!  Aimee Garcia flew herself all the way to the Exumas for the festivities.

Getting to know each other’s Island Routes, Greek native, Maria Menounos, took part in a few Caribbean island traditions.

 

Here Maria is again, dancing the night away, junkanoo-style, with Olympic skier, Julia Mancuso.

 

Here’s 90210’s, Trisan Wilds, getting fired up and showing his wild side.

 

Ryan Rottman sees how low he can go….as his girlfriend, actress Brittany Snow, looks on.

This is what happens when Real Housewives play in the sand!  Kelly Bensimon, Real Housewives of NYC, and Access Hollywood’s, Maria Menounos, strike up an impromptu match.

Who do you think won the battle? 

After a rough day of sun and sport, Kelly needed some R & R at the Red Lane® Spa.

Trading in her skies for clubs, Julia tees off for The Sandals Foundation.

Jesse Metcalfe, from Desperate Housewives, took in the manicured greens at Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club.

 

Antonia Sabato Jr. gave a thumbs-up on the course after his successful round of golf.

 

Island-hopping!  I flew Jason, Molly and Maria over to the exclusive Royal Plantation Island at Fowl Cay for a quick tour of the Bahamian Out-Islands.

Now this is what I call a real piggyback ride!  Maria has her hands full with her new found friend.

Jason & Molly check-in at the Island Routes outpost to sign up for their own Caribbean adventure tour.

Antonio and his girlfriend, Cheryl, enjoyed a day out at sea on Stewfish, part of the Island Routes fleet – and also my personal fishing boat.

Here’s a shot of the gang aboard Stewfish, as we round out yet another incredible Sandals celebrity event.
