Travel with me to Sandals Emerald Bay Luxury Couples Only All Inclusive Resort in the Exumas Bahamas for Christmas Week 2021 dining, drinking, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, dancing and playing on a romantic week with my husband from my beautiful Beachfront Butler Villa Suite in the Exumas at the gorgeous Couples Only, Adults Only, All Inclusive, Sandals Resorts, Sandals Emerald Bay where diving and golf are included, and with fabulous entertainment and even a visit from Santa. Walk the property and learn about all there is to do at Sandals and in the Exumas, Great Exuma and the Exuma Cays. Off property, let me book your villa rental in Sandals new Fowl Cay villas, which include a boat, or in Jamaica where families can enjoy Sandals benefits. As a travel agent, I can help you with any of the amazing options for rentals, resorts, hotels and tours in these islands. Flying American Airlines non-stop flight from Austin to Nassau plus Western Air flight to and from Exuma and the Priority Pass Lounges in Lynden Pindling Airport Nassau. One of the highlights and biggest draw of these islands are the swimming pigs. Follow along on our full fabulous day on our Island Routes - Exuma Water Sports - Swimming Pigs excursion feeding stingrays with stops on unique islands in the Cays like Pigeon Cay and Leaf Cay to feed iguanas. Follow our super fun day with Captain Chris and the Island Routes - Off Island Boat Tours - excursion to Mariah Harbour Cay National Park from Georgetown, the most gorgeous sand bar, plus the pink sand beach made of sea strawberry and snorkeling the Mystery Cave opening of the Angelfish Blue Hole explored by Jacques Cousteau on Stocking Island plus a snorkel stop at Fowl Cay Reef and see turtles and dolphins, when weather permits you can also swim with the turtles at Hooperโ€™s Bay. We floated by the Chat N' Chill which looks like tons of fun and Blu on the Water Restaurant & Bar if you want a delicious meal with an amazing view. Perfect white sand beaches, turquoise water, amazing diving and snorkeling, my first trigger fish sighting (twice) and my 40th dive with jacks, snappers, stingrays, sharks, lobsters. Using my new GoPro Hero 10 for my underwater footage. Walk through all the Covid-19 travel requirements.
