Montego Bay, Jamaica- that was set our destination for the honeymoon- i was skeptical yes, but sooooo excited for warmth, sand and water in February.
We left Minneapolis on a non-stop flight for Montego Bay, Jamaica. The non-stop flight was one of the best things we did- that gave us the freedom to not have to worry about connecting flights or the chaos of bags being lost-
We arrived in Jamaica roughly 4 hours later and holy cow it was humid and warm and beautiful! my hair immediately curled while waiting to go through customs (By the way, fly on any other days except for sat and sun, customs took over 2 hours to get through)
Sandals resort was amazing to work with- they had a butler waiting for us at the sandals lobby and he had ice cold beers for us -Lee appreciated that a lot- we waited for the next van to the resort which was probably 10 minutes and the ride was 15 minutes so we were ready to get there by the time we did
we arrived and were able to meet one of our butlers-holy cow we had a butler- At first I was worried on how to "use" the butler service, but by the end of the week I was a pro, don't worry :)
our room was AMAZING to say the least- Lee did such an amazing job at booking this place and I/We appreciate the hard work he does ALL the time to provide these amazing opportunities for our family.
Here was our Romeo and Juliet swim up suite
We were blessed to have two other couples join us- strange some may think, but it was very nice to all have fun together!
we spent our days waking up whenever we wanted, ordering breakfast, lounging on the beach under the umbrella and drinking endless -ENDLESS amounts of drinks brought to us by our butlers-what ever we wanted they provided with kindness, a smile, and usually a story to go with it.
the view and atmosphere of Jamaica was truly unique- so care free- EXTREMELY care free- along with my husband being there, and the Sandals resort this vacation was one where I was completely worry free- usually I'm a panic attack waiting to happen, so this was very nice!
we went horseback riding, visited the other resort and spent time laughing and eating new foods an simply being there-
It was exciting to go home because our four legged little boy was waiting for us (above is a picture of Otis-playing ball)-I'll tell you more about him later), but I was ready to go back a few weeks later for the sun and quiet beach!
We strongly recommend this resort if you would like a quiet but fun get away to a warm and friendly place!
Lee did an amazing job at providing an unforgettable vacation for us-we got back to reality,me to work and him to planning our next adventure of our house remodel- to be started in June after the spring field work is done-
Here are a few more pictures of our trip
