When you are on vacation you shouldn’t have to worry about anything, which is exactly why choosing an All-Inclusive Resort is the ultimate vacation choice. As soon as your feet touch the ground from the plane, all of your cares are swept away in the warm, tropical breeze. From this point on you can choose to do whatever you want, or nothing at all, and there are an ample number of people waiting to tend to your every need.
For those of you who have never traveled to an All-Inclusive Resort, let me fill you in on exactly what “All-Inclusive” really means. You might think that is just a fancy marketing term to lure you in only to be thrown hidden fees and charges later on. This is not the case at all. Let’s go over what is included at all of the Sandals and Beaches Resorts. Sandals is an adult-only resort, while Beaches is family friendly, and there are several locations scattered throughout the Caribbean.
- Your Accommodations: Of course your room is going to be included in the price, right? But what kind of room are you getting exactly? At Sandals, or the family friendly Beaches Resort, even the standard rooms are anything but standard. In fact they are called “Luxury Level”. Beautifully decorated rooms with a relaxing feel and soft, comfortable furniture throughout. Views from your balcony of the Caribbean Sea, white, pristine beaches, or lush tropical foliage—you will feel like you are in Paradise. Suites include large living areas, full kitchens, soaking tubs, and some even have swim-up patios or infinity edge pools right on your balcony.
- Your Food: Every Sandals and Beaches Resort features several amazing dining options, from a casual Jerk Shack on the beach to fine dining at an exquisite Italian restaurant. All of it is included. You can eat as much as you want, in whatever restaurant you want, order whatever entree you want. It is complete freedom of culinary choices. Imagine being able to satisfy whatever sudden craving you have and you never have to look at a price. If the resort you are staying at is near another Sandals resort, you can even dine at one of the restaurants there as well, giving you an overwhelming amount of choices for every meal.
- Your Drinks: This is where it starts to sound really unbelievable. While staying at a Sandals Resort all of your drinks, even alcoholic ones, are included. From Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, to the exclusive Robert Mondavi wines created just for Sandals, to premium cocktails at the various bars on property. No limit, no charge, always a party.
- Your Activities: Of course some of us may just want to lie on a chaise lounge on the beach and stare at the stunning aquamarine water, but in case you want a little more excitement on your vacation Sandals offers a huge variety of activities. For water lovers you can go paddle boarding, snorkeling, water skiing, tubing, even unlimited scuba diving (if you need to be certified they offer a class for an additional fee). There are daily excursions on glass bottomed boats, deep sea fishing, and at some of the resorts you can take a ride out to a private island for the day. For land sports there is golfing, volleyball, tennis, rock wall climbing, and more.
- Your Wedding: Say what now? A free wedding? That’s right! If you book a vacation at a Sandals Resort you can host your wedding there for free. There are several on site options for a ceremony and they will also provide a wedding planner to help you work out all the details. Also included is a Sparkling Wine & Cold Hors d’oeuvres Delightful Reception for the Bride, Groom and up to 6 guests. You even get a manicure for the Bride and a foot massage for the groom. If you have a larger group traveling with you then you may also qualify for a dinner reception and other inclusions.
- Other Amenities: Some of the other inclusions are wi-fi, use of all the resort pools, nightly entertainment, and use of the Redline Spa facility (spa services are extra) which includes a meditation garden, sauna, and steam rooms. If you book a Butler level room you will also have a team of Butlers available to see to any need or request that you have, they are highly trained to ensure that you have the vacation of a lifetime.
Whether you are looking for a romantic vacation for two or an amazing Caribbean adventure with your family, the Sandals and Beaches Resorts are the pinnacle of All-Inclusive luxury. Some of you may be thinking that this is out of your price range, but there are so many options that are very reasonable and affordable for any budget.
