Check out some of the raves from our past trips!

Pirates & Paradise 2018, Coconut Bay Resort & Spa , St. Lucia!

Pirates & Paradise® was born of a desire to Pirate in the Caribbean!  Our trips have been AMAZING and I am thrilled to have met and vacationed with such fantastic people!  The camaraderie, laughs and friendships shared on the events carry on long after the vacation ends and the people I have met have become some of my best friends!  It’s hard to express to you the mystique (if you will) of the trip…. we are immediate friends and the low key, fun loving attitude of all involved permeates the entire event.  I have one rule – leave Religion, Politics and Drama stateside – we are here to ENJOY!

Byrda Paradise

All three of our Pirates and Paradise vacations have been excellent! Great group of fun people. Louise makes it easy for you to enjoy yourself by taking care of all the planning right down to the excursions. Top notch attention to detail and unique events. Can’t wait for next years trip! 2016,2017,2018

Sherri & Eric "Sharkbait & McFilthy"

This was my second P&P trip. Byrda thinks of everything. She is detail oriented, from the embroidered headbands for each trip, to finding fabulous excursions, including local lunch stops. The people attracted to her business are open minded, open hearted, and inclusive. I plan to travel with P&P regularly. Pirates & Paradise 2017,2018

2015 Pirates & Paradise trip to Jamaica was the best pirate adventure that Joy and I have been on….Louise was the most gracious hostess I have ever met and dealt with in my pirate in ventures, and vacationing at Sandal’s was better than I could ever hope or imagine. My only hope is that I am able to go on more travels with this group of people that I have the greatest pleasure to call my friends. Huzzah ta ya ALL!

I went along as a last minute guest. It was by far the most exciting trip I have ever taken! I was able to connect with people from Michigan and make make new friends as well! Huzzah to Louise for making it all possible!

Byrda’s Pirates & Paradise trips are not to be missed events! I went in 2014 and had a great time – so I was told – it is unlimited rum you know! Missed 2015, but will definitely make it next year!

The BEST vacation experience I have ever had in my life. It was very well organized and I am so happy with the new adventure and friends that came with it! Pirates & Paradise 2018

My Saint Lucia trip was awesome. I just had to show up and enjoy. Everything was planned for me.Pirates & Paradise 2018

Stepping out onto the white sandy beach with crystal blue Caribbean water is an awe inspiring moment, but nothing compares to the exhilaration of doing it with your own crewe of pirates. Enjoying rum on the same beaches as some of the most famous pirates is a thrill of a lifetime. Pirates & Paradise 2015

This was a very enjoyable trip. Location was beautiful, accommodations were nice, getting a chance to meet other pirates… Priceless… I am looking forward to the next Pirates & Paradise trip!

DeAnna "Rumsworthy"

We attended the inaugural Pirates & Paradise 2014 trip and were not only impressed with the Sandals’ staff hospitality, but their sincere interest in creating a fun experience. The unlimited water sports were fantastic: free diving if you’re certified, snorkeling, kayaking, waterskiing, and sailing! Byrda planned fun group events including rum tasting and a catamaran cruise. Get your pirate on in the best possible way- Pirates & Paradise!!

We stumbled into last years trip by accident, and had a WONDERFUL time. Made friends that have become family. This years trip to St Lucia was STELLAR! Louise (Byrda) does not leave anything to chance. Top notch all the way. We are ALREADY booked for 2019’s adventure to Italy. Pirates & Paradise 2017, 2018

Susanne & Mike

5 Star all the way! Have been wanting to go for some time now and finally made this last one. Had the most amazing time and met my new ‘family’ members for the first time. My late arrival made for the most stellar greeting that I’ll never forget! Byrda Paradise is the most wonderful person you would ever be so blessed to meet and I love her dearly! She’ll make sure your experience is everything you’d hope for. ~ Last Call

Deb A. "Last Call"

In 2015 Pirates & Paradise Kay and I had an awesome time. Thanks to Louise (Byrda) for arranging the trip. The resort was awesome, pirate company, awesome, shopping awesome, drinks and events awesome. This is our second pirate trip and we WILL be there in 2016 again for number 3!

John & Kay

We had a wonderful time. And we plan on being a part of all future trips. Counting the days until we meet again! Thanks again!

Jacayla & Mike

Had a piratically delicious time at Pirates & Paradise! Captain Byrda Paradise created an endless wave of adventures, mixed with abundant spaces for doing nothing at all! Go! It’s good to be a Pirate in Paradise, savvy?

Aruna (a.k.a. Captain Jacki)

The combination of 1 of any of the Sandals family of resorts and all they have to offer, a group of great, crazy fun pirates and Byrda as the hostess is perfection!
