What Red Parrot Travel Travelers have to say about their trips.

 

We had a fabulous time!  The resort is wonderful and you could barely tell it had just opened (no mini golf, no x-box but other than that it looked 100% complete to me!). 

We stayed in the Italian Village room 1228.  It was a great room!  It was a corner room so the balcony was a little bit bigger and we had two views, one of the ocean and then one of the Dutch Village.  It was on the second floor.  I think it was really the perfect location because we were on the far end of the Italian Village (close to the Dutch) so we were close enough to the main pool and all the restaurants, but also close to the French Pool where we liked to play volleyball everyday at 4.  Our room was incredible.  It was a two bedroom suite with a Jacuzzi, open bar, etc.  Our butler came daily and restocked our bar.  I would definitely go with this room category again because I think the lower room categories do not have a refrigerator and it was really nice to have juice and water in the morning, be able to drink whenever we wanted and we would often take desserts hope from the little bakery and keep them in our room. The restaurants were all good.  I wouldn't say the food was fabulous but it was good.  Everyone was VERY nice!  Most nights I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat so they would bring me both!  Hence that is probably why I gained 5 lbs!  You have been great to work with and I will definitely recommend you to my friends!

Jessica & Robert - Sandals Whitehouse May 2005

Perfect, perfect, perfect.  And that includes you.  It was the honeymoon I had dreamed about.  Sandals was the best and I don't care what anyone says.  Luxury!  Superb food, drinks, staff.  Everyone and everything was wonderful.  We are so glad that you recommended Sandals Grande.  We loved it and we love St. Lucia.  We are ready to book our 1st anniversary to another Sandals.  Where should we go??Thank you again for all your help and information.  You really know your stuff!!

Sandals Grande St. Lucia - November 15, 2004

So worth it!!  It was the vacation we had waited 10 years for.  Thank you, you are the best!!

Susan and Mike
Sandals Antigua - November 1, 2004

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  You are wonderful!  Thanks for putting up with all our hurricane hysteria.  We were sure our honeymoon was not going to happen with the hurricanes but you made it happen. 

We really wanted Grand Cayman but hurricane Ivan changed those plans.  Thanks for taking care of everything.  All the changes, moving us to St. Lucia and find a perfect honeymoon spot.  We LOVED Ti Kaye.  What a great place and we hope to go again some day.  Hopefully we can try for Cayman for our first anniversary. 

Thank you for taking care of our insurance.  I'm so glad you told us about it.  We received our refund for the Cayman trip the week we got back from St. Lucia.  If we hadn't had the insurance we would have lost our honeymoon.  You are the best.

Hey Tammy!
I've been meaning to email you but it's really hard getting back into the swing of things after such a wonderfully relaxing honeymoon!

First off, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts...you are truly wonderful and amazing!  Thank you so much for the Spa Certificate...we had a wonderful couple's massage on Saturday morning.

The resort was fantastic!  I really can't say enough.  Everyone was super friendly and helpful (staff and guests alike).  We did receive a room upgrade (to the honeymoon grande luxe) and we stayed in the Flamboyant building.  We never heard any construction, there were always plenty of beach loungers, the vendors were friendly but by no means overzealous.  We also took a half day safari (with Leon). It took us down to the southern tip of Antigua and we stopped over at Turner's Beach for about an hour.

The weather was good...rained in the evenings but as Floridians we are used to that.  One day it did rain quite a bit but it was the day we were on our Safari so the rain just added to the adventure. Many of the days were overcast so the sunsets were a wash but it didn't hinder our enjoyment a bit.

I can't wait to get our pix back so I can share them with you!  We also have tons of video...we got touristy cheesy and did a 'Sandal's Walking Tour' before we left...we didn't want to forget a single thing!  Thanks again, Tammy, in my book you are the world's best Travel Agent!

Regards,
Heather

PS The wedding was fantastic too...my flowers and cake weren't quite right but all was forgotten as soon as I saw my handsome Jay waiting at the end of the aisle.  I was a sobbing mess the entire ceremony!  Jay is the sweetest thing and surprised me with the wedding band I had originally wanted but didn't think we could afford...he kept it a secret for 2 months and I didn't discover it until he slipped it on my finger.  I almost kissed him but Pastor Susan stopped me, "Hang on Heather, we're only half way there!"  I literally floated through the rest of the evening.  Everyone had a great time, the dance floor was packed, and my Dad didn't want the night to end so he paid OT and kept the reception going until midnight!

Heather & Jason - Sandals Antigua Caribbean Village & Spa
Honeymoon October 19, 2004

We arrived at the Rock House and immediately fell in love all over again.  The property was AMAZING.  We had a villa with a private sun deck, private ledge to jump from, and one of the prettiest places to snorkel was right under us!  The food...oh my goodness...where do I even start?  We ate breakfast and most dinners at the restaurant at the Rock House b/c it was soooo good (of course, we had lobster the very first night!)  The staff was incredible.  Peter, one of the owners, made our stay extra special. He kept sending us drinks, bottles of wine, etc.  It was neat that it was not an all inclusive b/c we didn't feel guilty for going into town and stopping to eat at local restaurants or jerk joints (the best was Three Dives- we even took home some of their jerk sauce!)  The first night there was a wedding taking place and I peaked in...it looked like so much fun!  So now I am encouraging all my friends to have a destination wedding there :)

The Caves was....totally different.....still loved it, but in a different way.  The food was out of this world- I must have gained 10 pounds there alone (or was it from all the yummy Dirty Banana drinks???)  Because there are set times for the meals, you see the same people over and over again.  It sort of became like a little family. By the end of our stay there we were all partying in the pool, etc.  The one thing that I loved about the Caves was the mini-spa (we got treatments there...oh, yeah, and also had couples massage at the Rock House).  We were able to reserve the private hottub one evening for sunset, which was very romantic we even had them bring us a bottle of champagne while we were in it!  We had an outdoor shower which was amazing.  We are building one in our house if we ever get a house!  I must have taken 3 showers/day!  The mini bar was always stocked, and we had a neat sitting area. 

We are already planning on recreating our trip next year!!!
Thanks for all of your help,

  We had a wonderful time.

Gretel & Angel - Sandals Ocho Rios Jamaica Honeymoon - June 7, 2004

We can not tell you what a wonderful honeymoon we had.  Everything was perfect at our wedding and everything was perfect on our honeymoon.  Sandals was better than we thought it would be.  Thank you for all your help.  It was truly a worry-free trip.

Steve and Jessica - Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa Honeymoon - March 28, 2004

You were right, it was worth it.  Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for all your help.

Heather and Brian - Cap Jaluca - Anguilla                         Vacation - February 20, 2004

Our honeymoon was the best.  You made everything so wonderful and it was everything you said it would be.  I'm sorry I kept freeking out and thank you for putting up with all our changes.  But you were right, we did see the other room and we're so glad we went with the honeymoon penthouse.  And we loved the concierge service.  We did just like you said, sat out on our balcony, drank Champagne for breakfast and watched the ocean.  Thank you again for planning the best honeymoon.  We want to go back for our 1st anniversary.

Jessica and Jason - Sandals Ocho Rios, Jamaica 

Honeymoon - February 15, 2004

You know how to pick them!  "The Cat" from Ft. Lauderdale to Grand Bahama was fun.  Old Bahama Bay... what a resort.  So elegant and relaxing.  Bob and I just spent our days on the beach.  Thank you for our anniversary gift.  We did receive the champagne when we arrived and that was the crowning touch to all the service we received from you.  We'll be calling you shortly for another island get-a-way.  Where can we go next?

Bob and Jean - Old Bahama Bay, Grand Bahama Island                      10th Anniversary - February 14, 2004

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!  We had the honeymoon of our dreams.  All our travel details were taken care of and our honeymoon guide you made for us was so helpful.  Your knowledge of the resort was exact and we are glad you recommended Antigua to us.  It was the perfect honeymoon island and Sandals was a great resort.  Thanks again. 

Rick and Barbie - Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa                           Honeymoon -  February 1, 2004

We really enjoyed Sandal Grande St. Lucia.  Chris did 4 days of scuba diving.  I enjoyed the pools and beach.  We visited the other resorts, but we're glad we chose the Grande.  I LOVED the crepes at Josephines.  Overall I think Sandals was the right choice.....I  wanted to relax and go no where...and that is just what I did. Besides visiting other Sandals, the only other time I left the resort was to go on the cadamaran sunset cruise, which we really enjoyed. 

We would definitely visit a Sandals or Beaches again.....perhaps try a different island.   We will POSITIVELY use you to book anything, you were amazing!
Thanks again for everything.  It was a fantastic honeymoon.
Michelle
PS. do you just handle sandals resorts or do you book anything...??
Chris and I are looking to book a trip to Vegas in July!!!
PSS. I need to stress again how so very professional you are.....and how your personal touches have just made us so happy we chose you.  The only thing missing is a picture of you.  I feel like I know you....but as Chris mentioned the other day...we could pass  you on the street and not even get a chance to give you a BIG hug!!!  Do you have a business card with your photo on it??  That may be a great idea for you!!
