See you at the island!!
Please start looking for and booking your own airfare. We were hoping to get a deal through Delta but they do not give out codes, rather give you a group rate when there are 10 or more people on the same itinerary. The most people on the same itinerary is 6 - 8 so we do not qualify for a group rate deal. I encourage you to start looking and trying to book your own airfare. IF you have questions, please reach out to Dave or I.
1. Nassau requires you to have a passport with at least 6 months remaining, post travel. If you don't have a passport, now is the time to start that process.
2. Nassau has a required immigration form. Some airlines will give it to you in flight (Delta), but I know others will only give it to you as you deplane. Either way, bring a pen (blue or black ink) so that you can enter the immigration line sooner. We stood in that line for an hour, and we had the immigration form completed before we got off the plane.
3. Once through immigration, you pick up baggage at the baggage claim and then go through to the Sandals desk. They will be awaiting your arrival. Once checked in, they will transport you to the resort. Please remember, any porter or person to help load your bags or transport you to the resort is not a Sandals employee and should be tipped appropriately.
1. Sandals will transport everyone to and from the resort, free of charge. You may end up being transported on a bus, but it should be comfortable accommodations and with air. It's about a 20-minute ride from the airport to the resort.
Download the Sandals app and start looking at what they offer. They have different activities daily. While we were there, they had a fire show, a singer, a saxophone player, karaoke with a bunch of drunken beach couples (HILARIOUS), and they had games where contestants won free stays. The pool didn't close, though it was open from dawn until dusk, no one told us to get out when we went for a midnight swim. There was also a piano and billiards lounge, if you'd prefer that. Mostly, we enjoyed the entertainment they provided and ended at the Pearl for a late night snack, a drink (for me), to watch the super drunk guys talking about how much they loved each other, and to pet the kittens that hid in the bushes outside. There was too much and not enough time to do it in. That's one of the reasons why we will be staying for 7 nights and 8 days.
