The Caribbean

Jumby Bay holds a special place in my heart because it was where we celebrated my dad's 80th birthday with our extended family of nine. Staying in a private villa, we experienced impeccable service and unforgettable moments. Our butler, Nyoki, anticipated our every need, and Chef Garrett's culinary creations were nothing short of amazing. From the breathtaking views to the fun-filled activities like tennis, snorkeling and the kids club, every detail was perfect. It was a celebration that created lasting memories in a truly beautiful setting.

In December 2021, our family enjoyed a beautiful stay at the upscale and family-friendly Grand Hyatt Baha Mar hotel. The Bahamian spirt is alive and well here. Despite it being our second visit, we were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of new attractions and amenities to enjoy in addition to the stunning pools and beach. The expansive water park offered endless fun and excitement, while the remarkable array of restaurants catered to our every culinary desire. Our family has developed a deep affection for this property and we can't wait for our next stay to create more fun and cherished memories. I highly recommend this property to my clients with families.

The Four Seasons Anguilla offers a quiet luxurious stay in a beautiful tropical setting with perfectly maintained gardens and grounds, and some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. Great for couples and families with separate adult-only pool and lounge area.

We celebrated a milestone birthday on Aruba and stayed at the award-winning Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. This adults only boutique resort is situated on Eagle Beach, which is one of the most celebrated beaches in the Caribbean, if not the world! We split our time between relaxing at the beach and exploring all fun things Aruba has to offer.

In November of 2024, I did a site inspection at the Holiday Inn while visiting Aruba. Since Aruba is a more luxurious island to visit, I wanted to visit a more budget-friendly option while not sacrificing location for my clients who may want to visit this beautiful island.

There are many reasons to fall in love with Anguilla and her people; the crystal clear azure waters, the soft white sandy beaches, the local cuisine steeped in proud culinary traditions. I’ve been visiting this Caribbean gem for the past decade and am still discovering more reasons to fall in love with the island. A visit to this special place should be in order for any person who loves live music, good food, great people and a relaxing vacation. Let me be the one to assist in any and all of your Anguillan travel adventures.
