I just got back from Sandals Barbados and I cannot wait to share my full review! If you like a resort with lots of activities, great restaurants, beautiful beaches and tons of pools – a stay at Sandals Barbados is for you! Plus with stay at one, play at two (referencing access to the adjacent Sandals Royal Barbados) there is something for everyone at this adults only all-inclusive resort.

This past New Year’s my family had the best time at Universal Orlando! We had three park days, hit up both theme parks and Islands of Adventure, enjoyed a non-park day and stayed, for the first time, at Loews Sapphire Falls.
