All About Sandals Resorts
If you are looking for a romantic Caribbean getaway, you may come across Sandals all-inclusive resorts. So, what exactly are Sandals Resorts? We’re glad you asked!
Sandals is a collection of luxury resorts designed exclusively for couples—no singles and no kids allowed.
​
What Are Sandals Resorts?
If you’re familiar with cruise vacations—where all meals and most onboard activities are included in the initial price—you can expect something similar at Sandals Resorts. The key difference is that you’ll be enjoying your stay in a tropical beach hotel rather than on a ship, and it’s all adults. While family vacations and spending time with kids can be wonderful, sometimes it’s nice to have quiet time to focus on each other without distractions. All your food, alcoholic drinks, activities, and even airport transfers are included.
The Experience at Sandals Resorts
Don’t confuse Sandals with the warm-weather footwear. You’re welcome to wear
sandals during your trip, but Sandals refers to a network of hotels in the Caribbean
that caters specifically to adult couples. Their motto is “Love is all you need,”
making it the ultimate romantic all-inclusive vacation. Everything at Sandals is
included, regardless of whether you book the honeymoon suite or the most
budget-friendly room. This means all meals, drinks, airport transfers, Wi-Fi, water
sports, land sports, and more are covered. Additionally, there is no tipping
allowed at Sandals, which is a great relief—you can leave your wallet safe
because tipping employees for their outstanding service is not permitted. If you're
thinking about getting married, you can enjoy a free wedding with stays of three
nights or longer!
Where Are Sandals Resorts Located? Sandals Resorts can be found in
numerous beautiful locations around the Caribbean, with plans for more in the
future. Some of the stunning white-sand beaches and turquoise waters include;
Jamaica, Curaçao, Saint Lucia, Bahamas, Grenada & Barbados. The
accommodations and available activities may vary per resort. Entertainment and
recreation options outside the resorts can also differ by location; some have nearby casinos, waterfalls, or vibrant nightlife. Golf enthusiasts might prefer one resort, while scuba divers may prefer another. We'll help narrow down your decisions based on your personal preferences.
What Activities Are Available at Sandals Resorts?
At Sandals, you can choose to do everything or nothing at all. The available activities depend on the resort, but generally, you’ll find water sports, land sports, and entertainment included in your stay. Whether you and your partner prefer a laid-back, sophisticated experience or something more active and social, you can find a resort that perfectly suits your mood.
How Much Does a Sandals Vacation Cost?
Sandals resorts charge a cost per person, per night, influenced by factors like the season, room type, and chosen resort.
​
What Is Not Included at Sandals Resorts?
While most amenities are included, optional extras like excursions and spa
treatments come with additional charges. Golf may incur minor fees, but these
can be waived on six-night stays at certain resorts. You can enjoy regular
dining without extra costs, though private dinners do require an additional fee.
Sandals has a no-tipping policy, but you can tip butlers and spa therapists at your
discretion. If you’re not a certified diver, you can take a three-hour resort scuba
course for $100 or get certified during your stay for an extra fee.
What If We Want to Bring Kids or Others?
For families or groups, Sandals offers Beaches resorts, which provide
all-inclusive benefits, Kids Camps, and water parks. Both Sandals and
Beaches are excellent choices. If you prefer an adults-only getaway, Sandals
is perfect for a quiet, romantic escape.
