ROMANTIC RECOVERY: TURN DATE NIGHT INTO THREE NIGHTS AT SANDALS RESORTS

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – According to leading experts, relationships thrive when couples set aside dedicated time for each other and often recommend a regular “date night.” The romance experts at Sandals Resorts suggest that one night is not enough and are encouraging couples to rekindle their love affair over a date that lasts three-nights or longer.

“Today’s time-starved couples are desperate for ways to connect beyond dinner, a movie and a rush back to the babysitter,” says Sandals Resorts Director of Romance Marsha-Ann Brown. Brown believes that a deep romantic connection between couples, particularly those married for a while, takes time. “For most couples, it’s simply not possible to shed the pressures of parenting and the responsibilities of everyday life in a few hours. Romance is trust in action and is developed over shared experiences that build toward that sensational feeling we call being in love.”

Here are Brown’s suggestions for turning a typical date night into a three-night romantic recovery encounter:

·  Stage a romantic setting. Defined by exclusive amenities and unique designs for the ultimate privacy, the Love Nests at Sandals Resorts are luxury suites and villas in the Caribbean that create the ultimate romantic setting. These exclusive suites feature luxurious bathrooms and amenities like plush terry robes, hand-embroidered Egyptian cotton duvets, plasma TVs and often a private plunge pool. Best of all, Love Nests come with the service of a personal butler, exclusively trained for Sandals Resorts by the Guild of Professional English Butlers.

·  Try something new. Whether it’s sampling a new cuisine with Sandals’ unique Discovery Dining culinary concepts; a new destination through Sandals’ own “Honeymoon Hop” island exploration opportunity or learning a skill at Sandals’ signature AquaCenters such as how to sail or dive at the Caribbean’s largest PADI-certified program, “trying something new together builds comradery and trust, a feeling that ‘you’re in this together!’,” says Brown.

·  Go on an adventure. ‘Have fun and create excitement by going on an adventure,” says Brown. Island Routes Caribbean Adventures can take couples off their beaten path with opportunities from deep-sea fishing and dolphin encounters, to catamaran sails, canopy tours, mountain biking, and dune buggy off-roading excursions. Brown also recommends experiencing the ‘Scents of Love’ signature couples massage at Sandals’ exclusive Red Lane Spa® for a unique sensory adventure.

·  Splurge on yourself. “Romance is more likely to bloom when you feel fabulous, so take care of yourself,” says Brown. In addition to the couples massage, Sandals Resorts’ exclusive Red Lane Spa® which employs a philosophy based on “Love, Connection and Time,” offers an expansive menu from massage and body services to facial treatments plus beauty enhancement services.

·  Re-tie the Knot. “There’s nothing more romantic than saying, I’d do it all again,” says Brown who suggests vow renewal celebration as the ultimate romantic expression. The ReTie the Knot package at Sandals includes:

o  Personal pre-travel ReTie the Knot Planner and dedicated ReTie the Knot resort team

o  Ceremony musical accompaniment (pre-recorded)

o  Celebration cake, bouquet and boutonniere

o  30 minute Delightful Reception with sparkling wine and cold hors d'oeuvres for the ReTie the Knot couple and up to 6 guests

o  Commemorative certificate

o  35 Minute Massage for the Groom

o  Manicure for the Bride
