Sandals Negril Wins Platinum Award

Congratulations Sandals. Keep up the great work.

Negril, Westmoreland - Sandals Negril resort has become the first hotel in the world to receive Green Globe's inaugural Platinum Award for consistently meeting and exceeding the organisation's standards for environmental preservation and community involvement.

Adam Stewart, chief executive officer of Sandals Resorts International (SRI), the Caribbean's leading resort chain, after accepting the award last week, used the occasion to announce two groundbreaking environmental projects launched in St Lucia and The Bahamas which, if successful, will be replicated in Jamaica.

"We are changing the way we run our hotels, to serve Mother Nature," Stewart said. "If Sandals can do this in the other islands, then we can carry these programmes to Jamaica and other hotels will eventually catch on."

Wray & Nephew make the finest white rum in the world. They also know how to host a badass game of pool. The 2009 Wray & Nephew White Rum calendar is sikkK, as usual. The calendar shows bottles of Wray & Nephew White Rum on shelves in the back, four fine ladies playing pool in the middle, and the days, weeks, and months of the year (2009) at the front. Stay in touch with your dates in 2009, and drink responsibly. Bim!
