“Love is all you need” is the mantra of the Sandals resorts I toured this September. A full week to experience the “luxury included” amenities Sandals affords the guests of their resorts. With seven main resorts in Jamaica alone, and a few demographic specific resorts, we were infused with Sandals exclusive attention to our group.
Personal touches in the room aside, the real attraction to any destination resort is everything else. What to see, what to do, how to live. With so much to show you, I will be unpacking the entire experience week by week to zero in on each area with video clips and photo’s.
First up is Grand Pineapple Beach Resort in Negril.
Authentically Caribbean. Laid-back. Intimate. Simply Charming. Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts is a place where simple pleasures of island life are endless … the gentle breeze, the warming sun and the soothing turquoise sea. And the enjoyment of an all-inclusive vacation is unlimited … delicious meals, refreshing drinks and exciting adventures.
Grand Pineapple Beach Negril is located on the westernmost tip of Jamaica, set right on the world famous Seven-Mile Beach and boasts the most spectacular sunsets you will ever witness. Defined as an intimate resort featuring vividly-hued Caribbean architecture, warm hospitality and swaying palm trees, this resort is truly the perfect place to leave your cares behind. This beach destination is known for its vibrant culture, upbeat Reggae music and laid-back “no problem mon” attitude. Negril presents a beach getaway like no other.
