Who hasn’t dreamt of a romantic idyll in an overwater suite?

But if Bora Bora is beyond your budget, you’ll be thrilled to hear that Sandals Resort is bringing the dream within reach, announcing the debut of a clutch of overwater suites at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica.

On sale now for arrivals beginning November 16, 2016, the suites at the Montego Bay resort will feature glass floors and floating water hammocks from which to appreciate the beauty of the Caribbean close up.

The plush cabins will come with private infinity pools, a pair of outdoor showers, and personal butlers.

The overwater bungalows will be the first of their kind in the English-speaking Caribbean.
