Exactly 5 weeks from today, at this time, we will be sitting at the airport awaiting our red-eye from California to Antigua, via Jersey. This will be our third trip to the Caribbean, and our second with SPT. I’m a mom with one almost 13 year old boy who prefers floating in the pool and hanging out to sports. We are arriving on Friday, and my plan is to get to the resort and sit down. Then a week later I will get up again and go home. Well, I might get up to eat and drink. Maybe hop in the pool. But that’s about it.

testing…testing…is this thing on??

Just kidding…this is my first post to the new site and it’s probably not even officially up yet.

Single dad here with a 13 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. This will be our third Caribbean trip with SPT and on every trip we meet lots of great and interesting people and made some lasting friendships. It is such a great feeling to be at a big resort and see people you know as you’re passing by, or just sidling up to someone you know and start chatting.

What activities are people looking forward to? As for myself, looking to R E L A X. Hopefully there will be a full list of daily activities to punctuate the rela-zzz-ing part. Will definitely go snorkeling some and try to get some tennis in…

My son loves scuba diving and got certified last year in Jamaica but it appears that the Grand Pineapple doesn’t offer it. He will be sorely disappointed if he doesn’t get to dive, so I am looking for other options for him to get out and dive. I am not a diver (prefer to stay on top of the water…thank you!) so I am looking for someone whom he can “tag along with” for perhaps an off-resort excursion. Any other divers out there?

My daughter loves staying active with random stuff, playing in the sand and water, and just hanging out at the kids’ bar with a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri in-hand.

Has anyone been to the resort, or Antigua for that matter and can share some experiences?

Hi John,

Just wondering what the current pricing is (1 child) ?

Hi Dyan–
Yes we do have grandparents on occasion. It is not the norm, so there likely will not be too many grandparents with our groups, but they are certainly welcome! But, please check with us on the pricing .

What about bringing a grandparent as well? Does anyone with SPT ever do that?

Hi Andrea….I have not done a rooming list but typically the bulk of the kids on these trips fall in the 7-14/15 range. So I am confident there will be others in the same age.

The standard rooms will not accomodate 3 people so the lowest level is the one up. Actually the pricing is consistent all the way up to the oceanfront rooms, I am with our RHR trip right now but I am thinking that the week for three in an oceanfront was in the $1500 range.
