Hello Canada,

This post is coming to you from Beaches Turks and Caicos. I have the pleasure of being in Turks and Caicos while the Beaches Friends Forever Getaway is on and I must tell you that this is the ultimate girls getaway!

The Beaches Friends Forever Girls Getaway (BFF) is really based on having a weekend that is full of fun, sun and bonding with the girls. Here are just a few of the activities that take place during the 4 night BFF weekend getaway:

-Yoga Classes

-Skin care classes

-Sunset Cruise

-BFF Beach Bash

-Dance Lessons

-Meditation Class

-PJ Beach Party

There is a lot more that takes place during this weekend getaway but I just wanted to give you a taste of what is going on here.

We have our next BFF weekend scheduled for October 15 - 19 at Beaches Turks and Caicos and we also have another one which is scheduled for January 21- 25 at Beaches Negril. Not only will your clients’ have a fun filled weekend but they will also have the opportunity to experience a luxury included resort.

What sort of weekend packages do you offer women when they just want to relax and get away with the girls? When was the last time you went away with your BFF? How about offering the BFF getaway for Bachelorette parties? Do you find that many brides to be go away for their bachelorette parties? Did you know that we can also customize packages if you are booking a group of 5 or more rooms; so if you have a group of women that want to go away for a spa weekend we can make it happen for you and build it into the itinerary.

As you know I love hearing from you so please send me your comments.

Wishing you a great day!!

Gina

This is what I had in mind when I was on the WPIC FAM
trip last week. My husband was never an romantic guy
so have him to go on a romantic trip with me to Sandals
is hard, but I do have girls friends who love beaches
and love the sun so I'm planning to suggest a girls
getaway this year for spa and dine and ofcourse water
activies.

This is also a good idea to suggest to my client who
need unique idea for Bachelorette parties just have to
make sure I remind them to put on sunblock at all time
so they won't get tan marks hahahah....

Who couldn't use a girls weekend?? I was mentioning to someone the other day how great it is that a lot of women I know do this routinely, usually off to someone's cottage so this is a great alternative and hopefully a very easy sell! I love that there are activities planned that most busy women don't have time to indulge in on a regular basis, yoga and meditation on the beach?? Heck ya! Sign me up! This is such a great alternative for bachelorette parties too, why not be pampered and experience luxury included?

I usually try to plan a girls shopping weekend but why not switch it up a little and suggest a rexaxing weekend away? It will probably be less expensive in the end so the husbands will be happy.

I think that this is such a great idea for us gals. Taking the spa day to the next level!

I am glad to hear that Sandals/Beaches has warmly opened their properties to not just couples. I would personally attend the BFF weekend with my gals.

Thank you ladies for your comments.
Spa getaways are huge now because we are always on the go so a girls weekend getaway helps take some of that stress away. Have any of you ever experienced a Red Lane Spa treatment?

# Posted By Gina | 5/4/09 8:18 AM

Wow....I had no idea Sandals and Beaches offer these BFF Getaways. If I knew this was taking place right now I definitely would've come with my BFF's in tow. My friends and I always do an all-inclusive each year as well as a few cottage weekends in the summer.

A totally fabulous idea for bachelorette parties as well. I had two bachelorette parties: one in Cuba and one in LA. I know a lot of girls that go away for their bachelorette parties with groups of 5+. This is a great opportunity. I can't wait to take advantage of the next BFF Getaway!!

# Posted By Jag | 5/4/09 8:55 AM

I absolutely LOVE this idea! I mean it can be a bit of a pain to get my girls together for a BFF lunch much less a vacation! I am certain when I tell them we can now book a trip & really getaway & find time to reconnect on a true girl level..they will jump at the chance!! Wow, I can't believe how exciting things are unfolding with Sandals & their company! They are surprising me at every moment! Now the guys may have golf, but women: we have Turks! woo hoo!

# Posted By Renee | 5/4/09 9:39 AM

fabulous idea!! i will definately be offering it to my next bride to be.

# Posted By Jen J | 5/4/09 10:38 AM

If anyone of you need any help putting a bachelorette party together or just an incredible weekend with the girls let me know and I will be more than happy to work on it with you.
Sandals Resorts is for couples only but we can package a golf weekend for the men and for the women who prefer the spa we can also put this together but if you r clients want to get away just with the girls we do have 4 Beaches Resorts.

# Posted By Gina | 5/4/09 11:50 AM

OH...I LOVE SPA, and yes over the FAM week at the Resort
I did manage to reserve a time for spa. Is the best way
to relax and a great girls gathering to pamper ourseleves
and take our minds off from the busy life.

# Posted By Rhonda | 5/4/09 12:05 PM

Wow, that's an incredibly tempting idea! I had no idea Sandals and Beaches were offering this type of all-inclusive luxery for a group of BFF. A group of mine were actually considering a trip in the fall to get away from the fall blues and this is an opportunity that I will need to consider with them, thanks Gina for letting us know! Right on time as always :) Have a great time in Turks!

# Posted By Caroline Lemire | 5/4/09 7:34 PM

I love this idea. All the WPIC girls are already talking about a reunion. This would be it.

# Posted By Lorraine | 5/4/09 11:20 PM

The great thing about having a BFF trip to Beaches Turks are the room category options. You can share a 2 bedroom Family Suite in the NEW Italian Village which sleeps up to 12 AND have a personal Butler! It would be like having a slumber party every night too. This is a great promo and one that you can't find anywhere else.
Thank you Beaches!

Just go back from a wonderful 10 day stay at the Sandals Whitehouse.
"Wow" what an amazing resort!
While it was raining myself and my husband spent the afternoon in the Redlane spa, and had the couple massage.
It was fabulous! Love the fact that you have unlimited access to both saunas, and hot and cold plundge pool.
The service and all the resurants are amazing.
The the fact that the pools are nice and big. Even though the resort was full you never had to fight for beach chairs.
Would reccommend this resort to anyone.

Hey Gina, I am so disaapointed that I'm missing out on the time of my life. The BFF sounds like so much fun and so relaxing to get away from the hectic Toronto life. If your going again...count me in.

# Posted By Roxan | 5/6/09 3:54 AM

Hey Gina..

What a great idea for a bunch of us girls to getaway...I know here i Have girls that take away for a weekend getaway to Toronto or Montreal...By the time they do air fare food entertainment and drinks well you can imagine the cost would be higher airfare alone is close to 900.00 each...and this way they could do a week!! Might be looking at advertising in doing such a thing...We are alwasy looking for different ways to attract the clients!!..I can imagine it now..relaxing on the beach with a drink, acting like teenage girls and enjoy a amazing massage..What more could a girl want..)h maybe a louis vuitton purse!! heheh

Hi Gina, what a fantastic idea, Sandals always thinks of everything. My son and his friends always do away Bachelor parties and so does his wife. What a wonderful idea to suggest either a golf bachelor party or a spa bachelorette party. Everything all included, they will probably spend less money etc. Will definitely keep it in mind for their next party. Also fantastic idea for a girls getaway, what a great way to renew friendships and get caught up without interruptions etc. We are living in such a busy world, that we do not have time to do these kind of things, which are so important in life. Looking forward to your next blog. Thanks Jackie

OMG!!! As Lauraine mentioned in one of the earlier posts a bunch of the Girls (and David :) were talking about a Sandals/Beaches reunion, I can't think of a better opportunity than this.

# Posted By Tia Ward | 5/10/09 11:20 PM

Hi Gina,
I have had the pleasure of touring the 3 Beaches Resorts in Jamaica and I think they are absolutely fabulous for families
and extended families. The kids were yelling, screaming, splashing and having such a Great time.

I think that the idea of the BFF is Great... but the main obstacle that I have in selling that particular getaway
is the kids. Most of the women that want to get away on a girls weekend are leaving their children or grand children
behind. I'm just not sure how relaxing that will be for a girl friends get away. However, the activities that are
planned during that time sure sound like fun.

Maybe I'm missing something, as I'm really not sure how the BFF works... Is it women only during the 5 nights?

Cheers!
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
Beaches Resorts are for families, singles and couples. We do put a major focus on families but there are area's of the resort that are for adults only. I have actually been in Turks for 10 days and I did not find the kids to get in the way of anything and the ladies that were here on the BFF had a great time.

# Posted By Gina | 5/11/09 1:24 AM

I remember briefly hearing about it but couldn't find any information on it. This is a fantastic alternative to a Bachelorette party because I know way too many ladies who are tired of going to the same old run of the mill parties. Personally, the ladies in my family have been talking about a girls getaway and this is exactly the thing we wanted. I couldn't think of a better place to spend bonding with the girls.

Does all the girls HAVE to attend all the planned activities?

# Posted By Kathy Lee | 5/13/09 9:30 AM

I can't remember the last time I went away with my BFF. Feels like forever, at least since our kids were born! We are definately due for one. I didn't realize Beaches offered these. What a great idea! I've been dying to go to T&C Beaches. If I can't talk my husband into it, I'll put the squeeze on my girlfriends for sure!I'd be a bit concerned that having all the other kids around would make us miss our own, but it's only 5 days, I think we'd manage. Thanks Gina!

Hi Kathy Lee,
If you do not with to participate in all the activities that is fine as it is your vacation. If you can go on one of these weekends I will guarantee you that you will love the bff program.

# Posted By GIna | 5/14/09 4:47 AM

Beaches is rolling out the red carpet for you and your girlfriends to go on a 4-night vacation in paradise at a very special rates. So, grab your girlfriends, kick back, relax and enjoy Caribbean-style fun at the Beaches Friends Forever (B.F.F.) Girls Getaway
