LET’S WORK TOGETHER
For Angela and me, success comes from a simple philosophy: we create travel experiences that exceed expectations by bringing together our insider knowledge with personalized service.
Having personally visited every Sandals resort across the Caribbean, we possess the firsthand experience necessary to match you with the perfect destination and accommodations for your unique interests and budget.
Our Diamond Elite status with Sandals Resorts represents the highest level of expertise in luxury all-inclusive travel planning, providing you with exclusive access to amenities, upgrades, and experiences unavailable through standard booking channels.
Our Sandals destination wedding expertise is backed by a specialized certification and years of hands-on experience planning celebrations throughout the Caribbean.
We understand the unique requirements of destination weddings, from legal documentation and marriage license procedures to coordinating guest accommodations and managing complex logistics across multiple time zones.
As Sandals certified wedding specialists, we have direct access to dedicated on-site wedding planners at each resort, and will handle the coordination between your pre-arrival planning and on-location execution.
This partnership approach eliminates common destination wedding challenges where we will be your single point of contact throughout the planning process.
Our honeymoon planning expertise extends beyond accommodations and travel logistics. We understand that honeymoons require a different approach than standard vacations, and our extensive destination knowledge allows us to recommend locations that are fully aligned with your interests and desires.
Whether you’re looking for an overwater bungalow experience along the shores of Jamaica or want to explore the mountains and secluded coves of Saint Lucia, we match you with the perfect honeymoon destination.
Milestone anniversaries deserve to be celebrated, and we specialize in creating personalized travel experiences that honor your journey together while creating new memories for your future.
Best yet! If you’re traveling to a Sandals resort +/- 30 days of your anniversary, we’ll book you into the free night promotion on a 7 night stay in a Sandals Butler or Club level room category.
Every Wednesday, Sandals Resorts releases one of its most popular promotions, known as the 777 Deals. The name comes from the format: seven percent off, seven room categories, at seven resorts — available for just seven days or until the inventory is booked out.
For our clients who are flexible and know where to look, it’s one of the best ways to secure extra savings on luxury, all-inclusive stays across the Caribbean.
Because these deals are rotating and availability is limited, when you work with a Sandals specialist who knows the promotions (like us!), we’ll monitor new offers, alert you if the room becomes available, and adjust your booking if better pricing comes along.
Best of all, there’s no planning fee for that service, making it an easy way to maximize savings while reducing the stress of chasing weekly promotions.
For our clients, the Sandals 777 Deals are a smart strategy for flexible travelers who want the same luxury experience but at a slightly lower price point.
If you know when to look, what to book, and how to combine promotions, the savings can really add up, and we’re here to help you find them!
At Best Caribbean Resorts, we use our 15+ years of experience to simplify the planning process. Our recognition as Sandals Top Travel Agency in the United States for 2024, along with our Sandals Royal Chairman’s Club Diamond Elite status, represents the highest level of luxury all-inclusive travel expertise available.

From start to finish, Jonathan made sure every detail of our trip was perfectly planned, making our Jamaican getaway truly remarkable. 🌟 One of the standout features of our trip was the VIP MoBay transfer from the airport, suggested by Jonathan. This service whisked us through Montego Bay's airport with ease and straight to the resort in style. 🚗 It was the perfect way to start our vacation, and the proximity to the airport was a huge plus, especially given the short flight from Orlando. Experiencing the butler service for the first time was a game-changer. Our butler, Mychal, was absolutely amazing! Whether it was arranging our daily activities or making sure we had everything we needed, Mychal went above and beyond to ensure our stay was extraordinary. 🛎️ From here on, it's butler service all the way! Our trip highlights included a fabulous couples massage and delightful dinners at the Thai restaurant at the Royal Caribbean and Butch's. Jonathan’s recommendation for a day trip along the Northern Coast was spot on. Our driver, O'Shane, was fantastic, taking us to all the hotspots—Seven Mile Beach, Rick's Cafe, and Margaritaville. 🏝️ We also enjoyed a fantastic sunset cruise directly from Sandals and an exhilarating horseback ride through the water. The culinary experiences at Toyoko Joes and Butch's were exceptional, all thanks to Jonathan’s perfect recommendations. 🍽️ Though we packed a lot into our trip, we left plenty to explore next time. If you love the beach, Sandals Montego Bay is the Jamaican resort for you! 🌊 Jonathan was equally amazing on our last trip to Sandals St. Lucia last year. We're now completely sold on Sandals Resorts, thanks to the impeccable planning and service provided by Rivage Travel and Jonathan. Jessica HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great experience booking our 10 year wedding anniversary with Rivage Travel. From our very first consultation, Jonathan took the time to really listen to our likes, dislikes, and what we wanted out of our vacation. We knew we wanted to stay at a Sandals resort to help celebrate this milestone. During the consultation, Jonathan was the one who actually suggested Sandals Grenada for this celebration and we're so glad we he did! The resort and island is incredible! Given that Sandals has many resorts in the Caribbean, we knew we wanted a travel agency that knew each resort and what each one has to offer. Jonathan's recommendation to visit Grenada showed how much he values client feedback and how well he matches experiences to what his clients are truly looking for. Jonathan's attention to detail and guidance throughout the whole booking process and also during our stay is what really made this whole trip stress-free. Thank you Jonathan and the Rivage Travel team for this seamless, unforgettable travel experience. I highly recommend Rivage Travel and will definitely be booking with Jonathan again in the future! Jenny GrabiecTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute best experience booking our 20th anniversary trip to Sandals South Coast with Jonathan! He was quick to answer every question via email and even went the extra mile to help us request a specific room—which we were thrilled to receive at check-in. We truly appreciated his recommendation to visit South Coast for its relaxing atmosphere and the added luxury of having butlers who pampered us the entire stay. Jonathan and Angela made the planning process seamless, and we will definitely be rebooking with them for future vacations! Angela BlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a GREAT experience with Rivage Travel! This was our first time going on a Sandals vacation so we had SO MANY questions. Jonathon was always there to assist - before, during, and all throughout the process. When we ran into a snag here or there, we knew we could count on Jonathon to help us. It was very reassuring. Professional, responsive, knowledgeable, attentive-to-detail, and genuinely caring that we had a wonderful experience. We would not plan our trips any other way! We highly recommend Rivage! Thank you for a grand vacation experience! Taylor OldroydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you get stressed out planning trips or need help planning a vacation CALL RIVAGE TRAVEL! My husband and I used Rivage Travel for our honeymoon trip to the Caribbean and we had the best time! Using Rivage Travel made the planning process so easy and Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable with all of the Sandals resorts which made the decision process so much easier. He had no problem answering any questions I had throughout the entire trip and even checked in with us after we made it home to make sure we had a positive experience. Anytime I reached out, Jonathan got back to me right away and was available to help with anything we needed. If you are reading this just reach out to them already and thank me later.

Dan WardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jonathan with Rivage Travel did a remarkable job setting up our 45th Wedding Anniversary trip to Sandals Resort in St. Vincent. They even threw in a candlelight dinner and booked our flights. St. Vincent is a beautiful island with wonderful people. The resort is something special. My wife kept referring to it as her Wisteria Lane. Food was fantastic, butler service was great and the spa time was exceptional. Thanks Rivage Travel! Barrett PolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
