PIRATES ISLAND WATERPARK INCLUDED

5-STAR GLOBAL GOURMET™ DINING INCLUDED

If you have clients looking for the very best Caribbean holiday experience, look no further than a Sandals or Beaches Luxury Included® Resort. Scattered amongst the dreamlike, tropical islands of Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, the Bahamas, Grenada, Barbados and Turks & Caicos are 19 incomparable resorts, all of which give your clients everything they’d find at a 5-star resort; the only difference is that everything is included and unlimited.

SANDALS & BEACHES RESORTS CHEAT SHEET

Nobody knows the Caribbean better. Our resorts are always located on the calm side of the island, where offshore reefs protect our beaches and create clear waters, perfect for swimming, boating, playing – or just soaking up the Caribbean sun. Plus, westerly facing views offer the best sunsets.

Only at Sandals & Beaches Resorts can guests dine around the world without leaving the resort, with up to 16 specialty restaurants per resort at Sandals and up to 20 per resort at Beaches. That means your clients can discover the most authentic cuisine, created by top chefs using the freshest ingredients.

Sandals & Beaches offer the most unique suites in the Caribbean. At Sandals they are so exotic, so luxurious and so romantic, that they are called Love Nest Suites®. At Beaches they come in all sizes, from sprawling beachfront family suites to cosy garden cottages. Our accommodation offers every conceivable luxury.

At Sandals & Beaches, premium brand drinks are always included, always unlimited, 24/7, at up to 11 bars per resort at Sandals and up to 15 per resort at Beaches. Each bar includes Appleton Estate rum and unlimited pours of six varietals of Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines, bottled exclusively for our guests.

Sandals & Beaches elevates personal service, with Butlers trained by the Guild of Professional English Butlers included in top-tier suites. On arrival your clients will be presented with a mobile phone to call their Butler as and when required. From that moment on, every need is catered for.

It’s not just that we include more land sports than any other resorts, it’s the quality of the land sports we provide and the facilities we offer. From tennis courts with stadium seating and beach volleyball on pillow-soft sands to state-of-the-art fitness centres with top-of-the-line equipment.

As the experts in destination weddings, Sandals offer a FREE† Beautiful Beginnings wedding so that your clients can celebrate their special day with elegance and simplicity. Plus they will get their very own personal resort wedding planner to ensure their day goes without a hitch.

From the moment your clients arrive, we start taking care of them. After a long flight they are able to unwind in a comfortable airport lounge before being whisked off to enjoy all of the sumptuous services and amenities of their chosen resort. Once in-resort everything is taken care of, including tips and taxes.

Sandals & Beaches include unlimited scuba diving for certified divers, with two 1-tank dives, or one 2-tank dive – every day of guests’ stay. Beginners and kids can take advantage of our PADI® programmes^ so they too can enjoy the underwater world. We provide the very best dive boats, dive professionals and dive sites.

No other resort caters to the wishes of kids like Beaches, with all-inclusive, supervised enrichment programmes for every age including our V.I.K (Very Important Kids) Camp. Plus, all of our nannies are certified and provide unlimited care, all day, every day at no extra charge.

Only Beaches has the best waterparks in the Caribbean, where kids of all ages will have a blast. Pirates Island is a fantasy world filled with gigantic waterslides, kid-friendly pools and juice bars. There are also lazy rivers, as well as the Caribbean's only surf simulator (at Beaches Turks & Caicos).

Sandals and Beaches Resorts have the largest water sports operation in the Caribbean. We include snorkelling, paddle boarding, sailing, water-skiing and so much more. Plus we provide top-of-the-line equipment, and complimentary instruction. It’s all included, all unlimited, all the time.

Luxurious quality and over-the-top indulgences are hallmarks of Sandals & Beaches Resorts, and their award-winning Red Lane® Spas are renowned as the ultimate Caribbean spa experience. Plus, take advantage of plunge pools, steam baths and saunas, all of which are free to use.

Our partnership with Sesame Street® makes Beaches the only Caribbean resorts where the kids can play every day with the cast of characters. Enjoy a Character Breakfast^, watch a parade, bake cookies with Cookie Monster, dance with Zoe or explore outer space with Elmo.

Tee off at a Sandals or Beaches resort with unlimited golf in Jamaica, Saint Lucia & Great Exuma, Bahamas including complimentary green fees* and roundtrip transfers. Add in the exquisite tropical scenery and breath-taking vistas and you'll feel like you're truly in a golfer's paradise.
