Gastronomic bliss

Senior executives and general managers of Sandals Resorts International, joined the resorts' top travel partners for an evening of delectable food and fine wines during the Chairman's Royal Club Retreat at Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa on May 31.

The glowing Westmoreland sunset provided a good backdrop for the event. In a rustic beach setting enhanced by bamboo huts and swaying coconut branches, the five-star agents dined on a tropical buffet.

Showing appreciation to the travel partners for their on-going support, the Sandals chefs enticed with succulent jerked  pork and ribs, sushi rolls, corn on the cob, topped off with a rowboat featuring a wide selection of delectable seafood. The dessert station had an array of delicious treats.

The sweet offerings included coconut drops, grater cakes, gizzadas, cheese cakes infused with rum, chocolate-covered donuts and pound cake topped with fresh strawberries.

For those who wanted something less guilty, there was an abundance of fresh island fruits - mangoes, pineapple, melon, papaya and more.

The ambience and vibe of the night was cemented with performances from the Silver Bird steel band as the travel agents sipped on ice-cold coconut with the optional splash of the good 'ole' Jamaican rum.
