Several kisses, hugs and even kind words were exchanged at the stroke of midnight at Sandals Barbados where the hotel’s guests and locals rang in the New Year.
Locals and guests of Sandals Barbados Resort ushered in the New Year in superb style.
The attendees to the Resort’s Old Year’s Night Gala began their end of year celebrations with a scrumptious buffet dinner. They then made their way to the beach front where live entertainment kept individuals in a festive mood.
Legacy and Masala were the two bands for the evening. The latter group featured well-known entertainers, Mistah Dale and Phillip 7.
Armed with noisemakers, attendees, some of whom wore colourful beaded necklaces, hats and head pieces, danced and sang along to the infectious songs performed as they patiently waited to bid farewell to 2016 and welcome in 2017.
At the start of the New Year, those present at the all-inclusive Resort were privy to a beautiful lighting display.
In an interview with The Barbados Advocate, Public Relations Manager with Sandals Barbados, David Hinds stated it was the second year since it opened that the Resort has staged the Gala. There was a focus on the night on giving “our guests and our local clientele the Sandals experience Old Year’s night style.”
Hinds further stated that he was pleased with the response Saturday night’s Gala received.
“Tonight’s response has been amazing to be honest…We sold just over a 100 tickets to locals coming into tonight and for me, I feel really, really proud to see that the brand is out there, people are curious [and] they are willing to spend $300 plus dollars to come in and take a look and so far… I haven’t heard anyone disappointed as yet.”(MG)
