    I don't know what St.Vincent was waiting for to bring this sandals resort to beautiful Buccament Bay such stunning and amazing scenery

    • @Robert.Michael
      @Robert.Michael  5 місяців тому +1

      I agree, the scenery is amazing. Having sold Sandals Resorts for over a decade, as well as personal conversations with management and executives, I can tell you, resort openings almost always boils down to politics (sadly). Everything from infrastructure and flights, to local hires and taxes and more, have to be ironed out. In the case of St. Vincent, the airport was a big hurdle. They had an existing one but it was too small. So they (St. Vincent) had another location expanded upon. US and Canadian flights are better to this property because of it, but they are still limited (at the moment).
      That said, there are many incredible locations that Sandals owns in their property portfolio that they have their sights set on, but are waiting on various factors.
      Thank you very much for watching my video and I’m glad I could capture some of the beauty of this property.

      That’s awesome! Yes, I had a very interesting conversation with a work crew (not resort staff) on resort about this. We expressed our hope that new tourism would not turn the beautiful island into a commercial island. But they too mentioned the island politics. Not only island politics but we were discussing worldviews as well. It was a great conversation. I look forward to going back to St. Vincent and exploring more of the island, as well as learning its history and indulging in the cuisine! Happy travels to you!

    Nice video. Gym seems a little smaller than expected, as in not as big as Sandals Dunn's River. You said it was a big resort with lots of walking - trying to put it into Sandals perspective: is it bigger than South Coast, which from the over-water bungalows on the west side to the Agua Center on the east side is a solid 15 minute walk at a decent pace?

    • @Robert.Michael
      @Robert.Michael  5 місяців тому

      Thanks Joe!
      Gym is smaller. But I have to remind myself that technically there are in room fitness suites that if you wanted to, could circumvent the gym. That said, early AM 5-8 it should be a ghost town. By day 3 (video coming soon) there was no one in there other than me at 6-730.
      It is big, but not south coast big. I’d say less than 10 minutes from the gym to the beach at a good pace. The challenge comes regarding paths. To cross the resort, (width) you’ll need to strategize. It’s not as easy as cut through here (you can but there is grass and ponds, hard to do with nice shoes/heels.) and you can get to the central pool. You have to go up or down and around. They mitigate that with bikes, but I don’t rely on them because you never know where the bikes will be, or if they’ll be waiting for you when you get done eating/working out/etc. lol.

      @@Robert.Michael Thank you for that update on the resort size and the path issues. We don't mind walking, and even South Coast was small enough (unlike Moon Palace in Cancun, which is beyond huge). The bicycles seem like a not great idea with the windiness of the paths and their relatively smaller size - at least that was our experience at Curacao, where bikers were constantly causing us walkers to move off the paths so they could get by, often in a 2-wide formation so they can talk.
