Last week our Certified Sandals Specialists were able to meet with our contacts from the Sandals and Beaches Resorts.  We were able to get the latest updates about what is new at each of the Resorts and re-familiarize ourselves with these incredible properties.  For those unfamiliar with the Sandals brand, Sandals offers four different resort types, so there truly is a Caribbean resort for everyone. 

The most well-known of the Sandals Resort categories, are of course, the Sandals Resorts.  These 12 luxury-included resorts are found on Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua, and the Bahamas and offer a wide array of room types, dining options, land and water activities and so much more.  The Sandals Resorts are couples only and maintain a focus on romance and allow you to set your own pace whether you're looking for active fun-in-the-sun or a relaxing get away.

The Beaches Resorts are incredibly similar in quality and value to the Sandals Resorts, but are for families.  With three resorts on Jamaica and one on Turks & Caicos, the Beaches Resorts offer non-stop family fun for adults and kids of all ages.  Sesame Street activities, an Xbox game station, water parks, and teen dances are just the beginning of the endless activities offered at the Beaches Resorts.

The Grand Pineapple® Beach Resorts are the newest addition to the Sandals brand and offer affordable family friendly accommodations on breathtaking beach settings.  The Grand Pineapple® Beach Resort Negril is located in a prime spot of the world famous Negril Beach and the Grand Pineapple Beach® Resort Antigua is situated on a 1,600 foot stretch of secluded white sand beach along Antigua's northeast coastline. These resorts are also all-inclusive, but don't have as many options or amenities as the Sandals or Beaches Resorts.  They are perfect for families, couples, or friends looking for a Caribbean escape.

Royal Plantation Collection is the most luxurious and elite of the Sandals brands. Royal Plantation offers The Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, The Island, on Exumas, Bahamas, and The Villas located in select areas throughout Jamaica.  Butler service, gourmet dining, and exquisite accommodations are sure to delight and impress the most discerning travelers.  The Royal Plantation Resort is an adult's only resort, so is perfect for a girl's get away for a family vacation with grown children.  The Royal Plantation Island and Villas offer private housing perfect for families, couples, or friends looking for an exclusive vacation experience.
