What people say about us

We worked with Mike to plan our perfect honeymoon in Greece — he was amazing the whole way through and put together a trip we will cherish for our lifetime.

He was thoughtful with our suggestions, and provided some of his own without every pushing us. He stayed within our budgetary means but made it feel like we had a budget twice the size. 

Dan and Michelle were such a joy to work with! They really made our trip and cruise successful. Based on our needs they were able to help us identify and schedule what side trips and activities would best suit our interests.

After this trip I will be using a travel agent for future vacations…just can’t wait for the next one they help us plan!

Honeymoon Always has been fantastic- our trips were 1000% better because of their help. The first time we used them we wanted to have a fun trip with some cultural experiences, good food, not too packed, and for a good price. It was fantastic and now we've used them for several trips in Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. Each trip was so different but they were able to make each one special and unique to our needs.

The Best Island Route Tours at Sandals Grande Antigua

Sunset catamaran cruise antigua, horseback beach ride antigua, barbuda by sea, sandals grande antigua packing guide.

For your honeymoon in Antigua, the most important thing you’ll need to pack is a passport! Antigua and Barbuda is an independent Commonwealth country comprising several islands, where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet. The area is known for its reef-lined beaches and rainforests. The English Harbour is a yachting hub and the site of historic Nelson’s Dockyard. The Sandals Grande Antigua is located in the esteemed Dickenson Bay beach area.

Additionally, pack essentials for several hours in the sun, plenty of sunscreen that is SPF 25 or higher. We also recommend 2-3 swimsuits, since you’ll be at the beach or resort pools almost every day. Include some type of cover-up also, such as an oversized t-shirt and hat. Water shoes would be a great addition to your Antigua & Barbuda packing list so you can comfortably explore the waterfalls and island terrain. For your Jeep excursions into the countryside, you will also want a pair of sneakers and athleisure clothing. Lightweight fabrics you can layer will also be key for long days in the sun. Think: linen shorts and 3-4 cotton tank tops or t-shirts.

Once the sun sets, be prepared with a little more formal attire, including closed-toes or heeled shoes. Also be sure to pack 3-4 dinner outfits that would fit the resort evening attire dress code at some of Sandals Grande Antigua restaurants, such as collared shirts and slacks for men and sundresses for women. Don’t forget a few sets of PJs, and essential medications and toiletries, although many of the Sandals bathrooms will provide the basics for honeymooners to help themselves to!

7 Day Itinerary at Sandals Grande Antigua

Day 1: settle in & have your first taste of caribbean rum.

V. C. Bird International Airport is an international airport located on the island of Antigua, 8 km northeast of St. John’s, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda.  For your stay at Sandals Grande Antigua, you’ll want to fly into this airport. Depending on which type of suite you booked, your airport transfer may be complimentary. If not, Sandals would still be happy to set it up for you!

Enjoy a cocktail upon arrival at one of the several bars located throughout the property, and settle into your suite before dining at one of Sandal’s 11 on-site restaurants this evening.

Day 2: Book a massage, explore the property, and relax by the pool

Feeling sore from the travel day? Head to Red Lane Spa to book an afternoon massage or spa service. Spend the morning relaxing by one of the property’s pools and strolling on the nearby beach.

Want to dine in one of the fine dining restaurants this evening or the next? Don’t forget to grab a reservation!

Day 3: Enjoy some watersports on the beach

Craving a little adventure after a day of R&R? Head down to the beach to enjoy complimentary Sandals watersports, such as kayaking and paddleboarding. Soak up the sun on the beach under an umbrella, and be sure to order a pina colada (or two!).

Day 4: Explore the best of Antigua & Barbuda

Explore the surrounding area today on your first island excursion! Get to know the island country’s terrain by horseback riding on the pristine white-sand beaches. Or journey on over to Antigua’s sister island, Barbuda, for a fun day at sea!

Day 5: Soak up the sun at Sandals

After a full-day excursion yesterday, you’re probably craving some more relaxation. The resort offers several land activities, including bocce! After your morning coffee and breakfast buffet, maybe explore the beach area a bit more or relax by the pool.

Perhaps tonight you dine at one of the included restaurants that don’t require reservations, such as Soy Sushi.

Day 6: Explore some more

If you opted for one of the off-the-beaten path excursions earlier on during your honeymoon, now is the time to explore some more at a more relaxed pace. Consider a catamaran cruise around the coast. On the contrary, if you already enjoyed a snorkel cruise, head into the countryside on a tour!

Pro-tip: Before you leave for the excursion, swing into one of the nicer restaurants to secure an evening restaurant for your last special night. Eleanor’s would be our recommendation if you haven’t dined there yet!

Day 7: Travel day

Enjoy one last breakfast buffet or morning room service (complete with coffee by the pool), before enjoying a final walk around the property. Travel from Sandals to the airport for your flight home to close out your dream honeymoon.

Antigua from the water

Sunset Catamaran Cruise Antigua

The sunset catamaran cruise is our favorite excursion when we visit any of the Caribbean islands and especially the Sandals resorts . The tour begins with sightseeing along the coast. There is an open bar included with appetizers as well. History, fun facts and beautiful scenery is provided by the knowledgeable captain as you leisurely make your way along the coast. There are other cruises available during different times of the day. Some cruises even include snorkeling . However, the sunset views from the water make this cruise our favorite.

After sailing for approximately 2 hours the catamaran turns around and heads back towards the resort. This is when the fun really begins. The lower the sun sinks down the more the music and the fun turns up. The crew leads everyone is dancing, singing and lots of entertainment. They are also available to take photos for you of the sunset. This trip is great for couples, best friends and groups. Our favorite excursion by far.

Antigua Rainforest Zipline & Eco-Kayak Experience

This excursion is perfect for the adventure lovers! Soar through the rainforest at 300ft high on 8 different ziplines . The views are absolutely breathtaking. After retuning to sea level the speedboat takes you through the beautiful waters of Antigua to the North Sound Marine Park for an amazing kayak adventure. The kayaking adventure takes you through some of the most beautiful mangroves where your guide will show you some of the unique marine life in the area.

The excursion also includes swimming and snorkeling on the Great Bird Island. Here you will have time to unwind and relax after the adventure and adrenaline rush of the morning. Before ending your day you will enjoy an authentic Antiguan lunch. This is a great excursion but definitely not recommended for anyone afraid of heights or anyone not looking for a physical challenge.

Sandal's Catamaran Sunset Cruise a Must!

This 2+ hour boat ride was nice. Got out on the ocean, cruised up and down the coast, drank and danced in the warm sun and breeze. Met some fun and exciting people...(the boring people stayed in the back of the boat) LOL. Eat before you go (unless you get sea-sick easy) The "appetizers" served were boring and left me waiting until I returned to my hotel to eat. The entertainment on board and the eclectic passengers were the highlight of the tour. Go, enjoy the drinks and the people and don't forget to tip the staff, they deserve it!!!!!!!.

We did the catamaran trip with snorkling and then to Dunn's River falls. We had the best time. The crew was fun with dancing, drinks and food. Snorkling was good and the crew made sure everyone was safe. They were in the water with us. The best was climbing the falls. The guides were terrific. I never felt unsafe. Don't forget to tip them, they were great. They even had a guide there to use your camera to take pictures. It was a great experience.

My husband and I went on the catamaran to the falls and had an amazing time! Dj (geico) helped me snorkel showed me alot of interesting fish.
