All-inclusive Luxury Included® holidays at Sandals & Beaches Resorts

Sandals Resort's Luxury Included® holidays are perhaps some of the most indulgent in the Caribbean - it seems as if there's nothing they can't do to make you feel like royalty. Consisting of 15 resorts dotted around six beautiful Caribbean islands, no matter which sugary sand islet you wish to visit, you'll find the perfect Sandals Resort for you. From butlers tending to your absolute every need, totally unlimited land and water sports, incredibly lavish accommodation and decadent dining options, you'll never want to leave these stunning beachside retreats.

Accommodations
From wow-factor villas with ravishing sea views and upscale beach rooms, to lavish butler-serviced suites with infinity-edged pools, Sandals has a room category for every budget. In fact, there’s up to 26 styles of accommodation to choose from - all of which are spacious, sophisticated, stylish, and very spoiling. And while some may offer more glammed-up extras than others (over-the-water hammocks, sexy Tranquility Soaking Tubs, sea-facing sundecks, private plunge pools), all rooms and suites assure modern décor, high-tech amenities, and furnished balconies or patios for all-day lounging. You can also look forward to HD Smart TVs with cable channels, well-stocked minibars that are replenished daily, and snuggle-worthy Sandals’ signature Tranquillity Blissful Beds dressed with premium king-size mattresses, deluxe Egyptian cotton linens, and a choice of pillows (hypoallergenic or feather down). The spa-style bathrooms are just as heavenly; think Turkish ivory stone flooring, carrara marble vanities, oversized fluffy towels, plush his-and-her bathrobes, Red Lane® Spa signature toiletries, walk-in rainfall showers, and freestanding stone-carved Tranquillity Soaking Tubs. Complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making facilities, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, iron and ironing boards, beach towels, full-size hairdryers, and 24-hour room service complete the lovely touches.

Concierge
Launched in 2013, the next-level concierge service Club Sandals certainly has a lot to offer its privileged patrons. From the moment you touchdown, every single thing is taken care of: transfers to your chosen resort (there’s even a Sandals’ dedicated airport lounge), private Club Sandals Concierge VIP check-in with cold or warm towels, and personal in-room and resort orientation with welcome pack. You’ll also have 24-hour access to the Club Sandals Lounge (staff available 8:am to 10pm) - a peaceful get-away-from-it-all space complete with HD flatscreen TV, iPads displaying menus, Kindles, weekly activities and the Manager’s wine list, and free-to-borrow kindles, books, newspapers and games. There’s also coffee machines serving espressos and cappuccinos, and a selection of alcoholic drinks (including the Club Sandals Signature Drink). sparkling wine, juice, soda, and water. You’ll also find a selection of sandwiches, wraps, croissants, pastries, muffins, cookies (mainly chocolate, coconut, or sugar), and island treats such as rumballs and macaroons. Extras from the eager-to-please Club Sandals Concierge team include assistance with all aspects of your holiday planning, taking care of every single reservation (dining, spa, private dinners, tours, excursions), complimentary all-day room service from 7:00am to 10:00pm (excludes Sandals Halcyon Beach), and daily contact to ensure you are always being extremely well looked after.

Butler Service
Available to guests staying in the top-tier luxury suites, Sandals Butler Elite Service® is every bit as posh as it sounds. On arrival, you’ll be greeted with lemongrass-scented hand towels to refresh you from your flight, offered welcome cocktails, whisked through check-in with no additional paperwork, escorted to your suite, and presented with a mobile phone so that you can summon your butler as needed. They’ll also note down any personal preferences so that they can fulfil all requests (however outlandish) with apparent ease, unpack your luggage (if required), and offer to press your first nights’ clothes. And while the exact role of these professional pamperers varies from guest to guest, all are constantly on call to assist you with dinner, tour or spa reservations as well as collecting and returning your laundry and dry cleaning. All you have to do is take advantage of the extra (and wonderfully spoiling) help and have them shine your shoes, escort you to dinner, turndown your bedding, run you a rose petal-scented bath, tend to your wardrobe, and make sure that you’re never without an ice-cold cold drink.

Land Sports
