Hi, I’m Melinda!
I’m the President and Founder of Dreams and Destinations, Inc., a full-service travel agency with an award-winning team of travel advisors planning vacations worldwide. I’m also an Elite Platinum Sandals and Beaches Resorts specialist and have spent several years as a member of the exclusive Sandals Chairman’s Royal Club.
Since 2013, I’ve traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean and have personally visited every Sandals and Beaches resort. I know these properties well — from the overall feel of each resort to the small details that can make or break a vacation. If you’re interested in Sandals or Beaches Resorts, I’m absolutely your girl.
And when you’re ready to explore beyond the Caribbean, my team and I are always here to help you curate the perfect itinerary wherever your dreams may lead.
Working With Me
As a Sandals & Beaches Travel Specialist
There is no fee to work with me on your Sandals or Beaches vacation, and my pricing is exactly the same as booking direct. The difference is that you also have my experience, insight, and resort relationships working for you.
I collaborate closely with a dedicated team at Sandals and Beaches to book and manage your Caribbean vacation and have access to the same online booking discounts offered directly by the resorts.
If you choose to book using the affiliate links found on this site, Sandals and Beaches consider you a direct client. In that case, I’m not authorized to service or view your reservation, and you’ll manage your booking directly with the resort.
However, if you book through an affiliate link and would like me to manage your reservation, that’s usually possible. As long as the request is made within two weeks of booking, Sandals or Beaches can transfer the reservation to me. If you’d like help with this process, simply email me at [email protected], and I’ll walk you through the next steps.
I’m a little obsessed with…
Turquoise water.
Soft, warm sand.
Island breezes.
Salty, sun-kissed afternoons.
Caribbean smiles.
Hospitality that feels like home.
Add in a little romance or family fun, and I’m in travel heaven.
All of this means I’m more than a little obsessed with Sandals and Beaches Resorts — and the islands they call home. That love is exactly why I created Caribbean Dream Escapes: a place where I can share everything related to Sandals and Beaches vacations, destination weddings, and honeymoons, all in one thoughtfully curated space.
