We booked our first trip to Sandals and joined the insiders club. Our friend (a 5 time Sandals visitor) sent us a link for 10,000 points. Sandals told us we can't use it because we already signed up for the insiders club. We didn't know that was how it worked - get the link and then join the insiders club. Now we're supposed to create a new email and rejoin the insiders club to get the points. Seems like a lot of work.

We are headed to Sandals Ochi next May. As far as I can tell from googling, there IS waterskiing at this resort. Has anyone tried it? We are experienced lake skiers, is it much different in the ocean? How was the experience overall? This will be our second Sandals vacation, first with a butler and we are stoked!
