At Sandals Resorts, all-inclusive means more than unlimited food and drinks,it’s about unlocking experiences, service, and amenities that other resorts often charge extra for. After guiding couples to their perfect Caribbean escapes for more than five years, we can tell you: the difference between a good vacation and an unforgettable one often comes down to how you use what’s included.
Here’s our insider guide to making the most of every moment… and every dollar… at Sandals.
Arrive Early, Stay Late
Sandals’ “all-inclusive” starts the moment you arrive and doesn’t end until you depart for the airport.
- Arriving on an early flight? Head straight to the beach, grab lunch, and start enjoying the water sports.
- Late departure? Take advantage of that last morning swim, enjoy a spa treatment, or indulge in one more gourmet breakfast.
Advisor Tip: Pack a small carry-on with your swimsuit, flip-flops, and sunscreen so you can dive right in while your luggage is delivered to your room.
Take Advantage of All the Dining Options
Sandals resorts boast multiple gourmet restaurants, most guests don’t even make it to all of them in one stay.
- Rotate between cuisines: Italian one night, fresh seafood the next, sushi after that.
- Don’t miss lunch spots that serve up local flavors, like jerk chicken shacks in Jamaica or beach grills with fresh Caribbean fish.
- Book specialty dining early through the resort app to secure your preferred times.
Advisor Tip: Ask your butler or concierge which restaurant gets the best sunset views, timing your dinner there can turn a meal into a memory.
Dive Into the Included Water Sports
From scuba diving for certified divers to snorkeling, paddleboarding, Hobie Cat sailing, and glass-bottom boat tours, Sandals includes more than most all-inclusives ever dream of offering.
If you’ve never tried sailing or windsurfing, this is your chance, lessons are included.
Advisor Tip: Book your scuba or snorkel times early in your stay in case of weather delays. That way you have time to reschedule.
Sip & Savor Top-Shelf Drinks, Responsibly
Sandals includes premium spirits, Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines, and even in-room stocked bars refreshed daily. This is the perfect time to try a new cocktail or explore Caribbean rums.
Advisor Tip: Visit the quieter bars during the day and chat with the bartenders—they’ll often make off-menu creations you won’t find on the drink list.
Plan a Free Island Hopping Experience
(If You Can)
Select Sandals resorts offer stay at one, play at more privileges. For example, guests at Sandals Montego Bay can also enjoy Sandals Royal Caribbean (and vice versa) via complimentary shuttle.
- Double the restaurant options
- Access to multiple beaches and pools
- Two resort vibes for one trip
Leverage Your Butler or Concierge Service
If you’ve booked Club Level or Butler Elite service, use it to its fullest:
- Restaurant and excursion reservations
- Room service and cocktail delivery to your beach chair
- In-room celebrations for anniversaries or honeymoons
Advisor Tip: Don’t be shy, your butler is there to make your stay effortless.
Book Your Next Stay While On Property
Sandals’ on-resort loyalty program, Sandals Select Rewards, offers returning-guest savings and benefits. Booking your next trip while you’re still on vacation can secure early pricing, bonus perks, and prime room categories.
