Top 7 Things We Love at Sandals Resorts in Jamaica
April 27, 2012

Sandals Resorts has 7 beautiful locations in Jamaica, giving you the opportunity to indulge yourself in the amazing sights, tastes, and experiences these havens have to offer. Here are some of my favorites: [compiled by Kelly Tierney, Travel Impressions]

1. Sandals Cay Private Island – You must visit this private island when staying at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island. You’ll find a gorgeous beach, pool, cabanas and an authentic Thai Restaurant. You can even have a massage on the island!
2. Sunsets - The sunsets at Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa are among the most beautiful in the entire world. They’re especially enjoyable from the Crystal Lagoon Suites, where you can swim outside directly from your guest suite. This is one of my personal favorites.
3. Bluefield Beach Club – This restaurant at Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa offers the best authentic Jamaican cuisine just steps from the beach. The jerk chicken is to die for!
4. Ochi Beach Club – Imagine lying on a Balinese cabana and then dining at a new gourmet restaurant directly over the ocean. This is what you’ll experience when visiting the The Ochi Beach Club at Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort. At night, the fire pits create a relaxing and romantic atmosphere that you’ll never want to leave!
5. Champagne and Caviar Bar- The Champagne and Caviar Bar at Sandals Royal Plantation really shouldn’t be missed. The caviar is such a delicacy and it’s the only bar of its kind on the island!
6. Wedding Chapel – If you’re in love and are ready to take the big step with your special someone, consider staying at Sandals Montego Bay, the only resort with its own wedding chapel on the island. Say “I do” in style!
7. West Indian Massage – This massage is so unique and luxurious that you’ll think you’re in heaven for 80 luxurious minutes. You’ll receive a full body massage, hot stone therapy, tantalizing tropical mist, and even exfoliation for your tired feet. I enjoyed one of these massages after a long day of meetings, and it left me feeling completely resorted!

6 Best Beaches in Aruba
April 16, 2012
We love these top 6 Aruba beaches! (Curated by Travel Impressions’ Bob Lawrence)
How many have you visited?
1. Malmok Beach – Best for Swimming, Windsurfing, and Snorkeling. Known for ideal snorkeling and scuba diving, the water at this beach is so clear that snorkelers can often see the 400-foot SS Antilla shipwreck from the surface.
2. Eagle Beach – Best for “Anytime” Walks on the Beach and Gorgeous Sunsets. You may want to sip the famous Aruba Ariba cocktail, which includes: Coecoei (liquor) is one of the major ingredients in making the famous “Aruba Ariba.”
3. Baby Beach – Best for Private Times. It’s on the eastern end of the Island and offers vacationers lots of privacy. The shallow clear waters make this beach ideal for wading and beach based snorkeling.
4. Palm Beach – Best for People-Watching and Activities! Along the high rise hotel strip, this popular beach is known for its activities and beautiful garden pathways, and open air bars. It’s a beautiful and extremely active beach.
5. Arashi Beach – Best for Water Activities: including scuba diving, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, and sailing. This quiet and secluded beach is also known for its excellent snorkeling. Great for vacation activities with older children.
6. Manchebo Beach – Best for Swimming, Reading and Relaxing. Enjoy the gentle surf and wide open, pristine spaces. Tip: Wear sandals down to the beach from the pool. The expansive sandy beach area is quite a distance from most hotels.

Vancouver, City of Nature
April 3, 2012
It’s not often that you come across a city like Vancouver, one that so effortlessly combines the excitement of a modern city with true access to the great outdoors. This really is a “city of nature” – look in one direction to see glass skyscrapers, sidewalk cafes and art galleries, then turn around and take in a view of a temperate rainforest, oceanfront beaches and majestic mountains. Vancouver offers a fresh perspective on what it means to visit a city - lose yourself on a hike among ancient trees without leaving the downtown peninsula, have lunch at a busy waterfront market, spend the afternoon on a mountain wildlife-watching, then come back down again to dine and dance the night away in one of the city’s hip neighborhoods. A visit to Vancouver offers a refreshing change to the usual city vacation.
