Antigua
Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa
Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa has been voted the “World’s Most Romantic Resort” at the World Travel Awards for eleven years. This is a very complete resort sitting on Dickenson Bay, one of the nicest beaches on an island known for its beautiful beaches. Two villages with accommodations from affordable to amazing, six pools, and a long beach make for spots that are active, lively, and have several hidden gems that are quiet and perfect for a good book. The Sandals experience includes snorkeling, scuba diving, eleven restaurants and six bars. It’s a personal favorite of mine because this is where I truly fell in love with the Sandals brand. I was a destination bride married at this Sandals back in 2008. Being a destination bride allowed me to experience Sandals as a client first then I became a Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Caribbean Specialist with Sandals & Beaches Resorts.
