Nancy and Peter were FANTASTIC to work with!! My husband and I booked our honeymoon to Sandals Barbados through Nancy and she took such good care of us. When bad weather the night before we were supposed to leave was threatening our flights, Nancy assured me that they would "move heaven and earth" to get us to our honeymoon on time. What a promise!! We ended up not having to change our flights and got to our resort as scheduled. She also provided so many pictures, details, and tips before we left to ensure we knew our stuff before we got there. Additionally, she told us to call/text her during our stay is anything was amiss (it wasn't). When we were still looking to book our honeymoon prior to our wedding, I found Premium Resorts of Cook Travel online via their outstanding reviews. Even though we live in a different state, Nancy worked with us through phone calls and emails. Overall, just such great customer service from Nancy and we could not have been more pleased. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Will and I booked our Honeymoon to St. Lucia's Halcyon Resort by Sandals. Peter Blum assisted us in the planning process and he made it so easy. Peter helped us pick the Sandals Resort that fit the type of Honeymoon we were looking for and he did an AMAZING job! Peter talked with us several times on the phone before the trip to make sure we were comfortable with every last detail. Will and I loved the fact that the entire Honeymoon was all-inclusive and paid for up-front. The only thing we paid for out of pocket were souvenirs and excursions. The Halcyon Resort is the best out resort out of the 3 resorts on the island in my opinion. My husband and I made time to go visit The Grand and La Toc and they were nice, but they were too large for us. If you are looking for a more relaxing, low key, intimate vacation I would recommend going visiting Sandals Halcyon, St. Lucia. At Sandals Halcyon you will get to enjoy beautiful flora and fauna. The beauty and simplicity of the resort aids you in the relaxing process. All the staff at Sandals Halcyon were friendly and personable. As Will and I walked around the resort staff members would greet us by our first names. Staff really made us feel conformable and welcomed to their country. Sandals Resorts takes great care of their guest and my husband and I are already planning our anniversary trip for 2019! Thank You Premium Resorts, Peter, and Sandals for making our travel experience so memorable!

Peter Blum made our honeymoon a huge success.  He answered all of our questions and helped coordinate everything. I would recommend him to anybody getting married because organizing a wedding and honeymoon can be very stressful,   Peter is such an expert on all the honeymoon spots. He will cater your personality and likes to a specific resort so you will be happy and not have to worry about planning yourself. I have recommended him to many of my friends that are in the process of getting married and already using him for a second time for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. If I had to rate him out of 10 stars, he would get 11 from us. He went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% happy in our trip. Thanks again Peter for all your hard work and dedication to making us happy. We can’t wait to take our next trip soon! 

Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica was all I had dreamed of and more. The people were phenomenal and I have several of them as contacts on social media now! We still talk even after returning home several weeks ago. I never thought I would love another place as much as I loved St. Lucia last summer but Jamaica is just as wonderful. We tried to relax this trip so we didn't do as many excursions but we did the Catamaran Cruise to Margaritaville which was a party! Of course, I had to go down the slide and check out all the local shops nearby. We also went snorkeling on this excursion and saw a beautiful reef and much tropical fish. We also went on the Luminous Lagoon excursion which was pretty incredible. Jamaica is one of the only places in the world that this occurs year round but the phosphorus micro-organisms in the water glow when agitated. So basically we were taken out to this big body of brackish water and told to jump off the boat! I was thinking this excursion was a bad idea until we jumped in and saw how beautiful the water was glowing all over and around us. It was something I had never seen before and was simply wonderful! We also went on a glass bottom boat tour. It was amazing to see how many tropical fish and coral reefs were right out in front of our resort. However, if you have motion sickness (like I do) this trip may not be for you. I did, however, enjoy the boat ride facing out from the boat instead of looking through the glass. I was surprised at the amount of included activities the resort offered! We even rented masks and snorkels to look around the swimming area. Helpful Hints for other guests: Definitely get a butler suite on the second floor the first floor doesn't have a view like the second and people walk right past your door.

Thank you for all your help with setting up our recent trip! We really enjoyed ourselves! Anthony and Jessica Hall

We couldn't have asked for a better destination wedding and honeymoon than what we experienced at Sandals Negril. The resort was beautiful, the service was exceptional and the wedding staff so generously helpful. It ended up storming and raining the entire afternoon of our wedding so the beach-style wedding we had planned was out of the question but the staff did a fabulous job of keeping the wedding party calm as they seamlessly transitioned everything to beautiful indoor settings. Our Minister helped continue the stress-free vibe by keeping the entire group laughing. Negril is known for their sunsets but as you can see in our pictures the sunset that resulted after the stormy afternoon was unbelievably stunning! We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception all were. The music kept the entire group on their feet until we were danced out! The food served for our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception and honeymoon dinner were all delicious, as was every meal enjoyed throughout our 8 day stay.

Premium Resorts of Cook Travel was awesome. They made planning my destination wedding at Sandals Whitehouse completely stress-free.  They handled everything and even hand delivered our trip itinerary and tickets all the way to Nashville.  Our travel agent, Sally, created a custom destination wedding and honeymoon for us based on our desires and it turned out amazing.  She even got us a cheaper rate than when we booked it ourselves since Premium Resorts is a preferred Sandals Resorts Travel Agency.  Our wedding was beautiful and it was all thanks to wonderful people at Premium Resorts of Cook Travel.  

Susan and Curt had their Destination Weddingmoon at Sandals Antigua. Shortly after they returned, Susan called me and told me all about the amazing time they had and how wonderful it was to get married at Sandals. The other day, Susan and Curt sent me the attached photo with a caption. Peter, We want to thank you for helping us pick Sandals Antigua to get married and honeymoon “Good News! The newlyweds brought back an extra person from Sandals Antigua. It’s a girl and she is due January 31st. We are so Happy”

Elisa would be on break from her college studies and Adam would be on leave.  Forty (40) friends and family would attend, including Elisa's grandparents. Adam was eligible for Sandals Military discount so 10% was off their room category. They chose Sandals Whitehouse/South Coast for their wedding and then a "hop" over to Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas for their honeymoon. Perfect, so everything was arranged.  Weeks before their wedding, Adam received word that his leave would be cut short because of a new assignment.  No problem! All of the staff at Premium Resorts of Cook Travel are trained as Sandals Destination Wedding Specialists. Sally and her staff jumped into action and with their expert understanding of Sandals guidelines, made all the necessary changes with no additionally costs incurred. Their wedding was gorgeous and the honeymoon...well that was a private affair!

Christmas 2014, David Ramsey gave all his employees a travel gift cards as a Christmas present.  Randy and Jacqueline decided to use their travel gift card on a Sandals Anniversary vacation.  Shortly after Christmas, I worked with them evaluating all 15 Sandals resorts throughout the Caribbean and decided on a Sandals Whitehouse, Jamaica for their 6-night Anniversary vacation.  After everything was booked, Randy sent me a text and asked me to call him confidentially.  Randy told me he wanted to surprise his wife with a ReTie the Knot ceremony on their anniversary night.  The process to set up the surprise ReTie the Knot ceremony was easily completed with the help of the Sandals Whitehouse Wedding team and the Sandals Whitehouse staff.  On the morning of October 8, Randy set in motion the romantic surprise.  Prior to the 8th, Randy snuck away from Jacqueline and met with the Sandals Whitehouse wedding team.  The minister and the wedding staff would be waiting for the couple at a pre-arranged beach location at 4:00 PM.  That morning, Randy asked his wife if they could have an early dinner and if they could take a walk on the beach before going to the restaurant.  As Randy walked Jacqueline to the pre-arranged location, their favorite wedding song began to play.  Randy walked Jacqueline towards the Minister and asked her if she would marry him again.  Anyone who knows Jacqueline, knows her response and can visualize how her smile was filled with tears of joy.

Jacqueline and Randy, you are a special couple.Thank you for the honor to be your Sandals Travel Agent

After much consideration as to how we would celebrate our 10th anniversary, my wife and I chose to spend 7 days at the beautiful Sandals Antigua Resort. This was our first time staying at a Sandals resort and wow, did it ever exceed expectations! The dining options, location, beach, staff, excursion options, spa, and overall atmosphere of the resort and island were wonderful. I can't say enough positive things about our experience and our travel agent, Peter Blum. Peter was a tremendous and very knowledgeable resource. Brian Hammond

Sandals Destination weddings are luxurious stress free and everything is included.  Stephanie and Nick came to our Premium Resorts of Cook Travel looking for a stress free destination wedding.  With the help of Angela, they selected a Sandals Montego Bay Jamaica destination wedding called Wedding Moon.  The beauty of a Jamaica wedding is that the residency requirement is very short compared to other Caribbean Islands.  Jamaica only requires couples to be in Jamaica for 2 days prior to getting married.  Weekends count and the 1st day of arrival counts.  Stephanie arrived on December 3rd and their wedding was on December 5th.  Peter and Sally were able to attend the wedding ceremony during their visit to Jamaica for a Sandals Foundation meeting and to receive the 2014 Best of the Best Travel Agency award from Sandals CEO Adam Stewart and Chairman Butch Stewart.

Getting a temporary St Lucia Drivers License and renting a car at Sandals was so easy and worth it.  Our Friends from "Gypsey Reel" Graham and Camile Parker met Sally and I at Sandals La Toc. We rented a car and went for a ride towards the Pitons along to coastline. It was easy to get a drivers license.  We had to prove that we were there for 72 hours in order to get a temporary drivers license  The views are amazing along the coastline. We stopped at a fishing village to take photos. A local asked if I would pay him to climb a tree for a photo op! $5.00 later here he was up a tree with the Pitons in the background. You can't make this up. I love St Lucia.

We recently visited Sandals Halcyon in Saint Lucia for our honeymoon getaway. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed was the beautiful view from our beachfront room. The turquoise blue water and island view that surrounded us was nothing short of breathtaking! As our very first trip to a Sandals resort, we were overwhelmed by how welcoming and personable the staff was! Days after we arrived, the staff would still call us by name and would continuously check to make sure we were well taken care of. Not only did we enjoy the view and the amazing staff, but the food was amazing and endless. Our favorite restaurants to visit were Kelly’s Dockside and The Beach Bistro. Kelly’s Dockside had a delicious seafood sampler that we both loved! However, The Beach Bistro let us enjoy our usual American dining with chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, and a nacho station. All in all, we would not have chosen another resort to stay at. Cook Travel vacations and Sandals Halcyon exceeded our expectations! We cannot wait to visit another Sandals resort in the near future!

During our St Lucia Sandals La Toc Honeymoon we took this picture while we were stopped at the "Caribbean's only drive through volcano". It was one of the stops that we took while on our Island Buggy tours to Soufriere and the Pitons. We made several stops along the way from the resort to the other side of the island. The tour guides were fantastic and stopped at different places to show us areas of the island that we likely wouldn't have seen on our own including the banana plantations, a local farmer who shared with us some island fruits, a local man with a boa constrictor- which, by the way, I held around my neck!-, a local restaurant across from the Pitons, a waterfall and the drive through volcano where we bathed in mud baths- literally- painted ourselves with mud from the volcano and washed it off in the hot mud bath. They taught us about different plants/trees- like the tattoo fern which, if placed on something and smacked, will leave a white "tattoo" and the Touch Me Not ferns that curl up and "disappear" when you touch them! We enjoyed that tour a lot- especially my husband who got to drive the buggy on the opposite side of the road!

Thank you, for recommending The Fountain of Youth Catamaran tour. I'm glad we chose to do that as well as we saw flying fish, botanical gardens, the Pitons and we snorkeled in the rain! We also did the segway tour to Rodney Bay and saw some beautiful scenery includingSandals Grande St. Lucian across the bay- so we definitely saw all angles of the island- from land, sea, north and south!!

Hi Peter! Sandals Grande Antigua is the definition of a dream honeymoon, and then some! After our first meeting with Peter Blum of Premium Resorts, my husband and I were so anxious to get to this beautiful resort. It was both of our first times to do a Sandals resort and an all-inclusive vacation. We were a little hesitant thinking there just had to be something in the fine print where they "got ya". THERE WAS NOT! From the minute we arrived to the resort, until the last hour before leaving people were ready and happily willing to help us in every way possible, and not because they wanted a tip! But because they were happy to have us! One of the things my husband and I kept remarking on was how there was not a single detail skimped on. From the cleanliness of the rooms, to the intricacies in the tile & granite work throughout the resort, to the room service, to the landscaping, to the excellent food; nothing was mediocre, everything was 5 star! We never left the resort because we never got bored. We participated in almost every activity (game shows, pool trivia, couples beach games, cocktail hours, etc.) and also paid for some of the other things like snorkeling, scuba diving, and jet skiing. We have recommended Sandals to every couple we know, whether newlywed or celebrating 50 years of marriage. It is so obvious what a great company they are. As we were leaving, we had a chance to meet the General Manager, Mr. G. We thanked him for a great trip and complimented what a great resort he ran. His response made us smile "Thank you so much, but it's not me, it's the 700 hard-working employees that make this resort what it is!" And we did not come across a single employee that seemed unhappy to be there. Every single Sandals employee was genuinely happy to be at work and to help you. We never passed one without getting a big smile and "good morning!" That is something we truly appreciated. I could keep going but instead I'll just encourage whoever is reading this to see for yourself. It is more than worth it! We can not wait for our next Sandals adventure!

Thanks also for the Sandals Signature Guest info and the referral program you offer. We will absolutely be visiting a Sandals again.

Our travel to and from Jamaica went smooth as silk. On our return we went through ATL in 30 minutes. They have really streamlined the return process through Immigration and Customs. This always makes for good start and finish to any trip. Even though the weather forecast for 80% chance of rain and thunder storms we only saw rain 2 evenings. The weather did not interrupt anything we were doing. Overall the weather was great.

All of our Sandals vacations have been great but Sandals Whitehouse fantastic. The resort did not seem to be full of guests because there was plenty of places on the beach for us to choose from. We felt we always could find our private place on the beach. The food was also amazing plus we had plenty of adult beverages in hand most of the time. Sandals water sports changed the rules for how many people can be on the small catamarans from 4 to 3.

We spent 5 days at Beaches Turks & Caicos in February. Beaches was a great resort and we would recommend it to any families with kids of all ages. The weather was gorgeous all week! The Beaches staff and amenities were great and the food was so good! We loved the all-inclusive aspect of it. There were a lot of activities and water sports available at the resort. The excursion and scuba diving were really fun. Our travel agent Keith Weiser, at Premium Resorts, helped us choose the resort and was especially helpful when our flights out of New England were canceled twice due to a blizzard. It was very frustrating for us and we worried about having to cut our vacation time short. But Keith made himself available, answering phone calls and emails on a Sunday night when we first learned of the delays. He called the resort himself and was able to secure us the additional night at Beaches so we could still enjoy a 5 day trip. This was a huge relief for us after all the stress of the airport issues. Beaches is a very family-friendly resort and Turks and Caicos was a gorgeous vacation island. It was a nice relief from the New England winter!

Thank you Keith, you were super helpful assisting us with the flight issues and delays and talking to Beaches Turks to allow us to alter our arrival date.

Thanks, Erin & Nicole

Recently a client asked me about where they could take long walks on a white beach. Beaches Turks and Caicos is a family resort but I witnessed a lot of couples taking in the amazing privacy of Beaches Key West, enjoying the adult restaurants, and taking the endless walks on the pure white sandy beaches.  I noted and I followed!  Sally and I stayed in the quiet, almost adults only, Key West where there are adult only pools.  We took advantage of those walks for lovers.  These beaches are made for lovers and families. 

Hi Peter!  We had a wonderful time in Turks and Caicos!  You did a fabulous job organizing our trip for us and we so appreciate it.  We loved every minute of it and only had a couple of things that we thought could have been better.   I used Sandals.BlazeLoop.com often to communicate any needs my family had and received quick responses with courteous service.  I will say that I would not have known about the Blaze Loop had you not told us.  I think they should make sure guests know about that at check-in.  All in all, a wonderful Graduation trip, thanks again for all you did to make our kids' senior trip something they will never forget!

Our last visit to Beaches Turks & Caicos was April 2010 when there were 3 villages.  We returned December, 2013 and stayed in the 4th newest addtion, the Key West village.  We stayed in a 1 bedroom Suite which sleeps 4 to 6.  The spacious suite comes with all that a family would need including a kitchen, dishwasher, and laundry.  I love Turks & Caicos' white sandy beaches where you can walk for hours.  The Caribbean is crystal clear with a marine sanctuary that you don’t need a boat to get to, all within a 15-minute walk. The coral reef is right on the beach teeming with sea life including turtles and squid.  Sally and I went snorkeling a few feet away from the reef and a school of 1000 squid swam under us. No wonder the resort now has 8 Newton Dive boats on property. 

We have been watching honeymoon couples, destination weddings, and family reunion groups during our visit to  Key West Village of Beaches Turks & Caicos.  We are here for the 2013 Sandals Star Awards called the "Best of the Best" and Sally and I are presently honored to be staying in a one bedroom suite in the Key West village.  The Kew West village was originally constructed as condos and purchased by Butch and Adam Stewart in December 2012. They closed the condominiums, made changes, and converted the property into a Beaches Luxury Included resort.  All the rooms in the Kew West Village have dishwashers, stoves, refrigerators, washer/dryers.    This is our first visit and we hope to visit again February 2014 with the twins.  I know Jennifer will be thrilled that there is a washer and dryer in the Key West Suites.

Our family has vacationed at Beaches Boscobel, now known as Beaches Ocho Rios, and Beaches Turks & Caicos four times. We go nearly every year. We continue to visit the Beaches resorts because the staff, food, amenities, rooms, and entertainment CANNOT BE BEAT! Our top reasons for staying at Beaches Turks & Caicos are: wet feet night, beach BBQ, sesame street characters and shows, ice cream shakes at any hour, early morning and late night coffee, the lazy river, the almond cluster cookies, the Soon Come Back luncheon, 4 water slides, and the camp activities. We enjoy every moment at the Beaches resorts and save up each year so that we can go again and again. We are so comfortable at the resorts and see the same employees each time we go and they even remember us. Beaches Turks & Caicos is the perfect vacation spot for families with children of any age - even teenagers. We would love to party with you there! O'Moore Family, NY,

Dear Peter and Premium Resorts of Cook Travel Vacations. We just wanted to thank you for helping us book the most amazing family trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos! When we arrived we were upgraded to the French Villas and were taken back by the incredible customer service provided at Beaches! Amanda and I had a fabulous time horseback riding in the ocean and Scott and Trevor ended up getting completely certified in scuba diving. Beaches experience, it actually surpassed my expectations!

A Beaches vacation and Sandals Star awards week at Beaches Turks & Caicos turned into an amazing trip with so many smiles on faces and in hearts when Santa visited Beaches Turks & Caicos during a Sandals Foundation Christmas party at Beaches.  Beaches Turks & Caicos has a beach to the left of the Caribbean Village called Turtle Beach.  It is where all the Beach Parties are held weekly.  The management of Beaches allowed 100 local students form Sandals Foundation adopted schools to come on property. They were greeted by volunteers, Travel Agents, Sandals Foundation TAG members (travel agents give back) and Sandals Unique Vacation employees. Some Travel Agents brought their children and were excited to experience Sandals Santa giving our gifts and giving hugs. So many people were saying they loved Beaches Turks but especially loved the experience of giving back through the Sandals Foundation
