Sandals purchased the Four Seasons property and is doing some renovations and then reopening as Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma Bahamas. It is scheduled to open January 22, 2010. It will feature all oceanfront butler suites. It can be booked now.
Yes futuremrs_2010, the carefree wedding package is also included if you book 6 nights or longer in a concierge category or higher.
Thank you so much for clarifying!!
