Bespoke Resort Matching
I curate the right island, resort and room category — Luxury, Club Sandals or Butler Elite — drawing on more than 100 nights of firsthand experience.

Value & Privilege Monitoring
Once your reservation is secured, I keep watching the weekly 7-7-7 promotions and apply military and first responder 10% savings, which stack with current promotions. When a new promotion becomes available before final payment, I work to apply it.

Sandy's Signature Insider Tips
Matching Nights to Travel Time
A long weekend can be perfect when the flight is short. For farther islands, I suggest a few more nights so the trip is worth the travel. Craig and I love 10 nights ourselves — but that's our preference, not a rule.
Stay at One, Play at Others
On islands with more than one Sandals resort — St. Lucia, Jamaica and Barbados — you can enjoy the sister resorts too. I'll help you choose the perfect home base.
Club Sandals vs. Butler Elite
Each level adds a different layer of pampering. I'll help you decide which experience fits the way you love to vacation.
I've stayed in all three — Luxury, Club Level and Butler Level — so I can guide you from firsthand experience.
The Living-at-the-Beach Perspective
Craig and I live a block from the water in Fort Walton Beach. At home, a beach day means packing, cooking and setting up. At Sandals, there's none of that — you simply relax and are pampered.

How It Works: Your Questions
Does it cost more to book Sandals through a travel agent?
Not with me. My personalized planning comes at no extra fee to you, and you gain someone who has stayed at Sandals every year since 2015 looking after every detail.
Can Sandy price match sandals.com?
If you've seen a rate or promotion online, share it with me. I'll review it and make sure your reservation reflects the best value and inclusions available to you.
How does the military and first responder discount work at Sandals?
Active duty and retired military and first responders receive 10% savings, which stacks with all current resort promotions. I'll make sure it's applied to your reservation.
What happens if I already booked my next Sandals trip on resort?
Rebooking on resort lets you capture the exclusive on-site savings. When you return home, simply transfer the reservation to me, and I'll manage every detail and monitor your inclusions, with full concierge service at no extra cost.
What are Sandals 7-7-7 sales?
They're weekly promotions with limited-time inclusions. I monitor them for my clients so you don't have to.
What's the difference between Club Sandals and Butler Elite?
Both add extra layers of pampering beyond a Luxury room. I'll walk you through what each includes at your resort and help you choose the right fit.
How far in advance should I start planning a Sandals vacation?
Whenever you start dreaming, reach out. Whether you're traveling in a few months or more than a year from now, I'll help you plan with confidence.
How many nights should I stay at Sandals?
There's no magic number — the right length is the one that fits your life. I've booked plenty of long weekends at Sandals, especially to islands with short, easy flights. For farther islands with longer travel days, I suggest a few more nights so you aren't spending half your trip getting there. Craig and I personally love 10 nights, which gives us time to explore sister resorts too, but that's our preference, not a requirement. I'll help you find the length that feels right for you.
