The experience begins upon arrival as guests enter through an open-air lobby featuring vaulted ceilings adorned with European stone and wood, designed to evoke the look and feel of a Mediterranean palazzo. This private check-in area is the first step in the intimate service guests experience during their stay.
Suites feature palatial marble bathrooms with his-and-hers vanities and mosaic tiling, Jacuzzi tubs built for two, with separate shower areas that feature overhead rain showers, oversize beds with luxurious bedding, additional living areas, and 42″ plasma televisions.
The Mediterranean Village expansion also offers all guests a sixth freshwater pool, the largest in the Eastern Caribbean, complete with a
signature Sandals pool tower and swim-up bar, and the Eastern Caribbean’s largest whirlpool. One of the highlights of this new water retreat is the chic poolside cabanas that flank the deck. These luxurious hideaways for couples come complete with wireless Internet access to allow guests to relax in privacy.
