Sandals & Beaches resorts

Sandals and Beaches are made by the same company, and they’re about as all-inclusive as it gets: top-shelf drinks, lots of restaurants, water sports, and scuba diving for certified divers, all in the price. Sandals is adults-only and built for couples. Beaches is for families.

Sandals: for couples

There are 17 Sandals resorts across Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, the Bahamas, Grenada, Curaçao and Saint Vincent. They’re not all alike. Some are lively, some are very quiet, some are huge and some are intimate. Picking the right one for you is exactly what I help with.

Great for honeymoons and anniversaries, and for adults who want everything handled
Butler suites at many resorts, and over-the-water villas at a few
“Stay at one, play at others” exchange privileges at some sister resorts nearby

Good to know: Three Jamaica resorts are being rebuilt after Hurricane Melissa: Sandals South Coast reopens November 18, 2026, and Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Caribbean Cay (formerly Sandals Royal Caribbean) reopen December 18, 2026. I’ll always check the current status for your dates.

Beaches: for families

Beaches resorts in Turks and Caicos and Negril, Jamaica have the same Sandals-level food and service, plus kids’ camps for every age, water parks, family suites and nannies you can book.

What's included

All meals, including the specialty restaurants; premium drinks; land and water sports; scuba for certified divers; airport transfers; tips and taxes. Spa treatments, off-resort excursions and some premium experiences are extra.

From my own trips

My experience

Favorite Sandals and why

Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados. I love that they’re side by side: you can enjoy the feel of both resorts and have so many pools and restaurants to choose from.

Room category that's worth the upgrade

Club Level. For me, the concierge help and room service make it a worthwhile step up when the price difference makes sense.

Who I'd send to Beaches

A family traveling with kids, parents and grandparents. There’s plenty they can do together, while each generation still has room to enjoy the vacation its own way.
