Unfortunately, outside of the Bahamas, there are really no options for boat transfers to locations in the Caribbean other than traditional cruises.

There are many amazing Adults only properties - both in Jamaica and in the rest of the Caribbean.  Without knowing more about you and your needs, its really impossible to match the best resort to you.  That's where our agents come in....getting to know what is important to you and help weed thru the hundreds of options to find the best resort for you - whether a Sandals, Couples, El Dorado, Secrets, or other adults only property.  Same for family resorts, groups, incentive trips, destination weddings, etc.

L'Hoste is not generally a resort that we sell a lot of in St. Martin.  We sell more Alamanda and Esmeralda for people looking for locations right on Orient Beach.  These are very "plain" properties, but well priced and perfectly located (especially Alamanda).

Green Cay Villas is also another good choice just up the hill from the beach offering more villa style accomodations.

Sandals Carlyle in Montego Bay is normally the least expensive property due its small size and lack of traditional Sandals amenities. Sandals Grande Riviera in Ocho Rios is normally the least expensive "normal" Sandals property due to its large number of rooms that need to be filled and longer drive from the airport.  Sandals has spent a huge amount of money to renovate/improve Sandals Grand Riviera in 2011.

Steve- Unfortunately most of this is stereotype...the client mix at both Sandals and Beaches is both very similar. A mix of honeymooners and older couples, regardless of age.... I believe each property has it's own personality...that is somewhat based on who is there that week. Based on the below: 1) If you want properties more like bungalows and less like hotel rooms, Couples Negril and Swept away would both be good fits. So would Sandals Whitehouse since it's got "villages" rather than some big hotel structure. I would stay away from the Ocho Rios properties because they are all more "hotel" like and Sandals Montego Bay which probably wouldn't be a good fit. 2) Golf - tough one since Ocho Rios is the only place where golf is included. Sandals Grand Ocho is my least favorite Sandals. Couples Tower Isle is a large "hotel" property...and couples sans souci is our lowest rated Couples property. 3) Sandals sales - Sandals is always on sale...so don't let that impact your decision. The sales do change, however. Also, with either Sandals or Couples...should a lower price come out in the future, we'd have no problems getting your reservation adjusted to the then lower rate...so you don't have to worry about that.

Tips can generally be from $10-$100/day depending on how much/little you use the butler and how valuable you find their service. We generally hear people paying $25-$50/day on average.

Sandals is a couples only resort - so between the 2, Beaches is going to be the best option. It's a great resort for people of all ages, on a wonderful beach.
