Sandals to Open 2 Resorts in BGI

Sandals Resorts International has today applauded the government of Barbados following the announcement of a deal which will result in opening of two resorts in the country.
Sandals and the government of Barbados reached the agreement following months of negotiations that will see the Caribbean’s leading resort company open the former Couples Resort in St Lawrence as a Sandals Resort as well as managing a new Beaches Resort set to be built on the site of the former Almond Beach Resort in St Peter.

According to Sandals Resorts Chairman, Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart, the ten-acre former Couples property will open as Sandals Barbados on November 6th 2013 and will honour all existing commitments with guests who had booked to stay at the Couples Resort.
Stewart commented: “We are delighted to announce the opening of, not one, but two of our first ever resorts in this wonderful country of Barbados.
“Barbados and its people are so rich in culture, charm and personality and has been one of the leaders in Caribbean tourism for decades.
“We have been in discussions to bring our award-winning brands to this country for some time and are thrilled that negotiations have now been successfully concluded.”
Upon opening as Sandals Barbados, the resort will offer a selection of 280 luxury accommodations that range from beachfront suites to exquisite rooms situated in the resort’s lush tropical garden.;):)
