Sedona Resorts announced its involvement in two new world-class Caribbean resort communities.

The first is Crab Cay (www.CrabCay.com), a 180-acre island with more than eight miles of shoreline located just off Great Exuma in the Bahamas; the second is Kittitian Hill (www.KittitianHill.com), located on the northern side of St. Kitts.
