Set within more than 100 acres of pristine rainforest and situated between the two famous Pitons, its stunning white sand beach and exclusivity creates the perfect romantic getaway. While Sugar Beach does have excellent food and an all-inclusive plan, he prefers having the flexibility of enjoying the array of culinary offerings at other nearby luxury resorts such as Jade Mountain and in Soufri\u00c3\u00a8re, the nearest town.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3429\" src=\"https:\/\/acendasvacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/600xNx20170131032649b8645aab12b6ba5e561fccefbf46cc0c.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.lHpHkNygvN.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Sheraton Maui Resort &amp; Spa, Kaanapali Beach<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Brent really&nbsp;loves Maui.

He&#8217;d rent a villa for the week, hire a cook and a driver, (which are both surprisingly reasonable in Italy) and set off to wander the streets of Florence and nearby Lucca, and would also be sure to attend mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more vacation dreams from the experts at Acendas Travel.
