Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma, Bahamas officially opened its doors today, following a soft opening for tour operators and travel agents.
The 500-acre property is the 14th Sandals resort in the Caribbean.
Sandals purchased the former Four Seasons Resort last August and pumped more than $14 million into enhancements and upgrades.
The resort offers butler service for all 183 suites; a 17-acre, deepwater marina that can accommodate yachts up to 240 feet long; a Greg Norman-designed golf course; a half-acre, zero-entry pool with Jacuzzi, swim-up bar and fire-pit seating area in the center; five a la carte restaurants; a croquet court; beach and pool cabanas; a dive program; a fleet of bicycles for guests’ use; and a Red Lane Spa with 17 treatment rooms.
Sandals is offering promotions in conjunction with the opening, including complimentary companion airfare for a minimum four-night stay for travel to Dec. 22, and 65% off rack rates for a seven-night stay booked by Feb. 18.
