I just reserved one of my all-time favorite suites for clients and an amazing couple who will be headed there for their Honeymoon this fall. This is The Rondoval Butler Sky Suite at Sandals LaToc in St Lucia and they are designed for ultimate relation and romance!
When you stay at one of the three all-inclusive adult only resorts in St Lucia, you have access to all three of them. It is an amazing island where I highly recommend a tour up into the famous Pitons

A few photos from clients who just returned from Grande Moon Palace in Cancun, Mexico. This family all-inclusive resort is very large with a water park and several pools. The beach is very nice and many restaurants with the food receiving very good reviews.

Great news for us in Columbus, Ohio! This would be a great stop on your way to Hawaii - take the nonstop to LA, spend a night or two to break it up and then head to the islands. We love putting together packages like that.

The flights will be offered daily, according to officials.

Let’s talk about Fort Lauderdale!
I have just returned from a week long trip of different areas in Florida and had a wonderful weekend staying in the Hollywood beach area. The Margaritaville Hollywood is a gem if you want a very nice pool area and great beach. It’s on the boardwalk with many restaurants and shopping. It is also across the street from the intercoastal waterways where you could catch a water taxi and head out for a day of stopping at many different areas in FLL including a couple hotels like the Hilton which is the closest to the cruise ports and I would suggest for a pre-night before a cruise; the Doubletree which is a very central location and a happening hotel and then the W.
Unless you need to go outside of FLL, I would pick one of those hotels and just use the waterway taxi and uber to the airport. I have posted a pic of a waterway taxi pamphlet that shows all the stops.
Let me know if you have any questions about this very exciting and fun beach destination.
