Sandals Emerald Bay

Sandals Emerald Bay | Condé Nast Traveler

"Guests can expect a little of everything at the Sandals Royal Bahamian There's unfettered access to the aqua waters of Cable Beach, plus a handful of excellent dining options to choose from, and, of course unparalleled personal butler service. There are several categories of rooms, each with their own perks and price points—but for maximum value (and bliss), we'd opt for one of the Windsor swim-up suites, where you can roll out of a four-poster king bed and onto a furnished private patio (with zero-entry access to the Zen Garden river pool) in less time than it might take your to reach your bathroom. There's also an offshore island that guests can get to via launch, sailboat, or kayak, with two secluded beaches that play host to both low-key activities like snorkeling and sunbathing, and high-energy water sports, respectively. Shell out a little extra for treatments at the Red Lane Spa, like a lavender scalp massage, administered with a warm, soothing blend of aromatherapy oils. The staff will even throw in a take-home aromatherapy pillow, so that you can try to smuggle a little slice of relaxation home with you."
