Penny,
We just returned from SGOR last night and I wanted to write and thank
you for all of your assistance in providing us with a wonderful
vacation. If I had to describe it in one word, it would definitely
be...... WOW !! Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff, the
grounds, the food, the activities, etc. etc... I could go on and on..
Just wonderful ! Carla and I enjoyed every minute and leaving was a sad
event.



We're going to have to start saving and return as soon
as we can. Hopefully next year.
Thanks Again !!

Hi Penny,
My husband and I went to Sandals Ocho Rios for our honeymoon. It was one
of the best trips I have been on. Everybody was so nice and
accommodating. We will be returning for our one year anniversary. I
can't imagine going any where else. I have been recommending it to all
my friends.

Hi Penny,
Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to let you know we had a
wonderful time in Jamaica!
We got to see several weddings take place and Karen was thrilled with
what she saw. The meals were very good, we wished we had scheduled more
dinners at Valentino's though. Thank you for all your help! I found it
interesting talking to others that they knew nothing of the spa credit
and they were staying in the same category rooms as us. The spa credit
was great, we bought all our t-shirts and stuff from the gift shop with
it and still had enough to get 2 back & neck massages. FYI - we got a 2
category upgrade upon check-in without requesting or reminding them we
booked through you. They seemed aware of it. As I expected, you are
number # 1!!!!!!
Anyway, thank you for all your help on our Jamaica trip, we greatly
appreciate your guidance and expertise. We truly appreciated it after
hearing other people talk about their planning and agents. We feel we
have the best out there, and trust you to always do us right.
Tx again!

Hi Penny,
We had a fabulous time in Jamaica. Thank you so much. The people there
are just wonderful. We especially loved Antonio and Kim, our witnesses
at our wedding. They continued to make our stay there enjoyable the
whole time we were there. The wedding was beautiful as was the
reception. Not a rainy day in the forecast.
Dunn River Falls was a blast. The water was a bit cold, but well worth
it. The day before we left we went on the Blue Mountain Bike Tour.
I think it was my favorite thing about Jamaica. The mountains and all
the water falls are absolutely gorgeous.
Next year for our anniversary we definitely want to go back. I think we
would like to go to Negril though. We heard that it was a fun place to
go also. Tony wants to try some cliff diving. Thanks again for
everything.

Penny--
Just got back from Jamaica last night. No pictures--our cameras never
got out of the bag--but I thought I would send a short note about the
trip to Sandals Ocho Rios.
We had a great time. The grounds are absolutely magnificent, and the
food was terrific. You were right--the service was impeccable and the
staff was friendly, helpful and eager to make the trip a success. They
even gave us a free room upgrade after we said our first room was a
little noisy. We stayed in one of the cottages right by the lobby; it
was beautiful!
The water sports were great--Kim learned how to sail a sunfish and we
went snorkeling and out on the water kayak several times--and the golf
course was first rate. (It really is as good as it looks in the
pictures). We even met several nice couples and had regular dinners with
them during our stay.
In short, Penny, the trip went off without a hitch. Thanks so much for
all of your help. We will definitely use your service again!

Hi Penny,
I've been so busy since Craig and I got back from our Sandals Ocho Rios Weddingmoon that I haven't had a chance to contact you.
I've got to tell you, we loved it!!!! Sandals was great. They really know how to pamper you. They took care of absolutely everything. It only took us about 30 minutes to plan our whole wedding and everything went off without a hitch. Orlia was our wedding coordinator - and she just did a fantastic job. Even our maid was great. She had the bed turned down and the towels made into swans on the bed (their bodies were additional towels rolled to look like hearts) and there were flower petals arranged on the floor around the base of the bed in the shape of a heart. The maid even left a nice congratulatory note and had our T-shirts (one said "Just" and the other "Married") arranged in front of the swans. The breakfast in bed the next morning was also wonderful. Lots of good food and champagne brought in with a tablecloth and set up on the table on the balcony. We're telling everyone we know about the place.
I just can't thank you enough for recommending Sandals Ocho Rios. Our wedding was so special and the setting was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and romantic setting.
I'll let you know when we want to go back (hopefully for our first anniversary).
Yvonne ~ Illinois
p.s. Our Royal Doulton china came on Tuesday. We chose the Jacobean pattern and it's beautiful. I'm sure we're going to pick up another 20 piece set to complete our setting for 8.

Hi Penny!
We got back from our wonderful trip to Jamaica on Saturday, May 18. I
just wanted to e-mail you and let you know what a great time we had. My
husband was thrilled with his present. You did such a great job!!
Sandals Ocho Rios was just perfect! We met another couple from Houston
that had used you as well and had all the same travel plans as we did.
We did quite a bit of activities with them as well and exchanged e-mail
addresses at the end of the trip.
My husband was so happy with it that now he is also interested in other
islands in the Caribbean, such as Antigua or St. Lucia.
Again, we had an absolutely great time, thanks for all of your help!

Dear Penny,
This note comes overdue & I apologize. Life has been hectic ever since we got back from Sandals Ocho Rios in Jamaica ~ where there was "No Problem". We absolutely loved it! They made our wedding day very special and beautiful. The service, food, accommodations and atmosphere were outstanding. At the hotel we were truly in paradise. We took the horse back riding trip, Dunn's River Falls complimentary excursion and went deep sea fishing. It was a great place to stay busy or just sit back and relax - which we did a lot. Thanks so much for taking care of our travel plans. Everything was to or exceed our expectations. The people at Sandals were wonderful! We look forward to returning again someday.
Thanks once again,
Beverly and Peter ~ Akron, Ohio

Hi There!
First of all - we had a great great time
at Sandals Ocho Rios and it was as wonderful as you said it would be! We
really loved the intimate nature of the resort we picked . . . with it's
lush jungle, creeks and waterfalls. So much fun not to have to pay for
anything once there.
We made so many friends due to the nature
of everyone being in such a happy mood and in the same environment. Zoe
and I were able to get off by ourselves every night in one of the many
small pools.
We did Dunn's River Falls and golfed.
There were several other outings we wanted to try but like you said it
was so nice to just "beach it" most of the day. The food was
great, the drinks plentiful and we're so glad that you talked us into
it.
Hugs,
John ~ Spokane, Washington
