While a resorts not on this list may very well be the best for your situation, here is a brief overlook of some Sandals Resorts that we love at Golden Times Travel and what makes them stands outs in our experience:
1. Sandals Royal Caribbean & Montego Bay – For Classic Luxury + Convenience
If your priority is accessibility and a mix of beach and activities, Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica is a wonderful choice. It’s famous for its private offshore island with its own beach, Royal Thai restaurant, as well as eight other popular dining choices like Le Jardiniére French restaurant and Cricketer for British eats. Boutique charm and overwater bungalows make it romantic and unique. Guests also enjoy butler service, several pools, whirlpools, and a variety of restaurants right on site. Royal Caribbean connects easily with Sandals Montego Bay, giving you access to 21 restaurants total and even more bars and pools without leaving the area, which is a huge perk for foodies and social travelers alike.
2. Sandals Royal Barbados & Sandals Barbados – For Modern Luxury & Variety
For travelers wanting the most modern, high-end resort experience with tons of amenities, Sandals Royal Barbados is a very popular choice. This property features rooftop pools and whirlpools, 14 bars, a bowling alley, multiple premium restaurants, and exquisite all-suite accommodations. It’s connected to Sandals Barbados with 11 pools and 6 whirlpools of its own, a state of the art fitness center, live events, and much more— meaning between the two you’ll find around 20 restaurants and numerous bars and pools — including rooftop and swim-up options. This makes the duo perfect for food lovers, nightlife enthusiasts, and couples who want a more social scene with plenty to explore on the property.
3. Sandals Grenada – All-Around Blend of Romance, Design & Beach
Looking for a balance of tropical beauty, stylish design, and rich amenities? Then step into the Sandals Grenada “Pink Gin Beach” Resort. Located on the stunning Pink Gin Beach, it offers gourmet dining across 10 restaurants, unique SkyPool Suites with private plunge pools, several swim-up bars, live shows, bottomless shelf spirits, and stunning landscape, paired with a relaxed vibe. Its proximity to the airport and smaller, more intimate feel also make it great for travelers who want convenience without a crowded resort atmosphere.
4. Sandals South Coast & Antigua – For Serenity and Scenic Settings
For couples seeking peaceful seclusion and scenic beaches, Sandals South Coast in Jamaica and Sandals Grande Antigua are excellent options. South Coast boasts a long, white-sand beach in a nature preserve, water-inspired architecture, overwater bungalows and bar, and calmer crowds — ideal if you want a more romantic, retreat-style vacation. Antigua’s Grande resort sits on Dickenson Bay, known for one of the Caribbean’s best beaches with expansive shoreline perfect for long walks and calm swim conditions. Both are quieter than the larger party-oriented resorts but still include the full range of Sandals amenities — water sports, scuba diving, land activities, and multiple dining options.
5. Sandals Ochi & Halcyon Beach - For an Abundance of Activities and Value
If you lean toward lots of onsite activities and good value, Sandals Ochi Beach in Jamaica offers one of the most expansive amenity mixes: 16 restaurants, 11 bars, over 100 pools, a beach club, unlimited water sports and golf included at Upton Estate Golf & Country Club— making it a top pick for couples who want nonstop options without feeling restricted to their room or the beach. Conversely, Sandals Halcyon Beach is ideal for budget-conscious travelers who still want quality luxury — a smaller, relaxed property with swim-up rooms, seven specialty restaurants, including an overwater grill to a sushi bar, scuba, snorkeling, golf, pickleball, and access to other nearby Sandals dining for even more variety.
6. Universal Sandals Inclusions & Activities Across All Resorts
No matter which resort you choose, Sandals’ all-inclusive package means you get unlimited premium dining, drinks, water sports (like kayaking, sailing, snorkeling), PADI-certified scuba diving, land sports, fitness classes, evening entertainment, and airport transfers included. Spa services (Red Lane Spa) and themed entertainment tend to be standout extras that elevate the experience, so where you stay really comes down to whether you want more luxury-oriented amenities, social dining and nightlife, peaceful beach days, or a mix.
