Sandals Resorts Honeymoon Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Why Sandals Is Always on the Honeymoon Shortlist

When I talk with couples about their honeymoon, Sandals almost always comes up — and honestly, I get it. These resorts are built for romance. They’re adults-only, all-inclusive, and every little detail is designed with couples in mind.

We’re talking swim-up suites, butler service, candlelit dinners under the stars... the kind of honeymoon where you actually get to unplug and celebrate your new life together. But with 18 Sandals resorts across the Caribbean, the hardest part is figuring out which one fits your vibe. That’s where I come in — and where this guide will help you start.

What Makes Sandals So Perfect for a Honeymoon?

Sandals is special because it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. These resorts are for couples only, with no kids, no big business conferences, no distractions. Just romance.

Here’s why so many of my clients choose Sandals for their honeymoon:

Truly all-inclusive: Meals, cocktails, water sports, tips, even airport transfers are covered.
Luxury rooms: From overwater bungalows to suites with private plunge pools, you can splurge on something extra special.
Romantic touches everywhere: Couples’ massages, beach dinners, and cozy spots for just the two of you.
Caribbean island settings: Each one has its own unique backdrop, from St. Lucia’s Pitons to Barbados’ white-sand beaches.

It’s not just about booking a resort. It’s about creating the space to slow down, soak it in, and really be present with each other.

The Best Sandals Resorts for Different Couples

Here’s the fun part: choosing the Sandals resort that matches your honeymoon style. Each one has its own personality, just like you and your partner. While there are 17 Sandals resorts across the Caribbean, here are just a few favorites to give you a taste of what’s out there (and help you start picturing what feels most you).

Sandals Grande St. Lucian (St. Lucia): Gorgeous views of the Pitons, lots of excursions, and adventure mixed with romance. Perfect if you want to mix hiking and volcano tours with lazy beach days.
Sandals Royal Barbados (Barbados): Sleek, modern, and a little trendy. It has a rooftop pool, bowling alley, and over-the-top luxury suites. Ideal if you want something fresh and stylish.
Sandals Montego Bay (Jamaica): The original Sandals that’s lively, fun, and close to the airport. Great if you love lots of dining choices and a social vibe.
Sandals South Coast (Jamaica): Peaceful and secluded with overwater bungalows. If you’re dreaming of a quiet, tucked-away escape, this one’s for you.
Sandals Grenada (Grenada): Bold design with sky-high infinity pools and dramatic waterfalls. Perfect for adventurous couples who want something unique.

Think of it this way: your honeymoon isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are Sandals resorts. The magic happens when you find the one that matches your personality as a couple.

What’s Really Included at Sandals?

This is the part couples love most. You don’t have to keep reaching for your wallet. Sandals covers gourmet dining at up to 16 restaurants at some resorts, so you can enjoy Italian one night, sushi the next, and a steakhouse after that, all included. Premium drinks are unlimited, whether it’s champagne in the morning or cocktails by the pool. Water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and even scuba diving for certified divers are all included, along with entertainment such as live music, themed nights, and beach parties. Airport transfers and tips are also taken care of, so there are no surprise fees at the end of your stay. The only extras are spa treatments, excursions off-property, and optional romantic add-ons like a private dinner under the stars, which, honestly, is worth every penny for a honeymoon.

When to Book Your Sandals Honeymoon

If you’re dreaming of one of the overwater bungalows or butler-level suites, here’s the truth: they go fast. Like, 9–12 months out fast.

Here’s a quick guide:

Peak season (Dec–April): Best weather, but also higher prices.
Summer/fall (May–Nov): More budget-friendly but keep hurricane season in mind (though some islands, like Aruba, are outside the hurricane belt).
Flexibility saves money: Traveling mid-week or outside of school breaks often means better deals and fewer crowds.

Even though it’s such an exciting part of the journey, the honeymoon usually takes a backseat until wedding details are almost wrapped up.

Adding Personal Touches

The difference between a “nice trip” and a dream honeymoon is the little details. Here are a few of my favorite ways to personalize Sandals honeymoons for my couples:

Upgrading to a swim-up suite or oceanfront villa (imagine waking up to the sea right outside your door).
Booking a candlelit beach dinner or private cabana day.
Adding an island excursion like a catamaran sail or a cooking class with local chefs.
Taking advantage of Sandals’ complimentary honeymoon package — breakfast in bed, turndown service, and sparkling wine for two.

Your honeymoon should feel like it was made just for you. That’s why I spend time getting to know what you value most, so we can build it in.

Mistakes Couples Make (and How to Avoid Them)

No couple wants to look back and think, “We wish we’d known that.” The truth is most Sandals honeymoons go off without a hitch, but there are a few little details that can cause stress if they’re overlooked. Waiting too long to book, not realizing how quickly certain room categories sell out, or missing out on included perks are just a few. My role is to make sure you don’t have to worry about any of that. With the right planning, you’ll head into your honeymoon with confidence, knowing everything is handled.

Why Work with a Travel Advisor (That’s Me!)

Sure, you could book your Sandals honeymoon online. But here’s what happens when you let me handle it:

I help you choose the Sandals resort that actually matches your style.
I know which rooms are worth the upgrade (and which aren’t).
I handle all the little details (transfers, excursions, dinner reservations).
I’m your point of contact if anything unexpected happens.

You get the excitement of planning your wedding without the overwhelm of planning a honeymoon on top of it.

So, whether you’re picturing adventurous days in St. Lucia, rooftop luxury in Barbados, or a tucked-away bungalow in Jamaica, there’s a perfect Sandals waiting for you. And I’d love to help you find it.
