Location: Gros Islet, St. Lucia
Why it’s perfect:
After spending our fourth unforgettable week here, I can confidently say that Sandals Grande St. Lucian should be at the top of everyone’s list and is without a doubt the best Sandals resort in the Caribbean.
Rating: 4.9 / 5.0
Location: Castries, St. Lucia
Why it’s perfect:
In short, the Sandals Regency La Toc resort in St. Lucia offers one of those experiences that makes you wonder why you ever stayed anywhere else. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with a smile, and as we prepared for our check-in, I could see that beachfront pool with its swim-up bar calling my name. Mojito, anyone?

Location: Santa Barbara Estate, Porta Blancu, Willemstad, Curaçao
Why it’s perfect:
I visited Sandals Royal Curacao in 2024 for a conference recognizing its top travel advisors and found it to be one of my favorite Sandals resorts in the portfolio. Located on a white sand beach on the southern Caribbean coast of Curacao, this all-inclusive resort is one of the newest Sandals Resorts and has everything you could dream of in a getaway—and then some. From exceptional service to world-class amenities focused on romance, relaxation, and adventure, it’s where people of all ages will enjoy themselves.
Here’s why we think you should make Sandals Royal Curacao your next vacation destination.
Rating: 4.7 / 5.0
Location: Castries – Gros Islet Hwy, Castries, St. Lucia
Why it’s perfect:
Historically speaking, this has not been top of mind when compared to the other two in St. Lucia, but that has started to change, especially with the recent updates that Sandals Halcyon Beach has received over the past 18 months.
Before we get into our Sandals Halcyon Review and Trip Report, let’s talk about the resort itself.

Rating: 4.8 / 5.0
Location: Negril, Jamaica
Why it’s perfect:
Sandals Negril was my first Sandals experience and the story is that we were having such a good time, that we completely lost track of the days and ended up staying and extra night. As you could imagine the departure was chaotic and costly as was the experience getting home, however what it told us was that Sandals is a truly special place and five nights will never be enough, again.
Rating: 4.6 / 5.0
Location: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Why it’s perfect:
Since starting a family, we don’t have as many opportunities to stay at Sandals Resorts as we used to. Instead, most of our travels now take us to Beaches Resorts, the family-friendly resort brand owned by Sandals. So when we do get a break, we make sure to pick the right one!
For this trip, we headed to Sandals flagship resort, Sandals Montego Bay, in Jamaica.
