Are all of the overwater bungalows the same or are there various options?

Carlie: The Sandals over-water- bungalows layout of the rooms are the same. Except one location at the Sandals, Royal Caribbean has a private pool and the size of the bungalows are larger than the other bungalows.

The larger Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) is approximately 90 minute drive from the three Sandals Resorts.  The smaller George F. Charles Airport (SLU) is approximately 10-30 minute drive to the Sandals Resorts. Most clients fly into the larger, International airport. So climb aboard your air-conditioned bus and enjoy views of the island from your included round trip transfer.

The All Inclusive Honeymoon

Posted on Mon , Feb 13, 2023

What does all inclusive mean?

Generally, when a resort is all inclusive, this means that the price of your stay includes meals and beverages, including drinks from the bar.

The Sandals and the Beaches resorts are Luxury All Inclusive resorts. The price of your stay includes airfare; transfers to and from the airport; unlimited gourmet dining; unlimited premium brand liquors, beer, wine and champagne; water sports such as SCUBA, snorkeling, sea kayaking, wind surfing, waterskiing and more; golf at some resorts; taxes, fees, gratuities and much more.

honeymoon couples resorts

Why should I choose an all inclusive resort for my honeymoon?

If you are like most couples, wedding planning means lots of thinking about budgets. And by the time the wedding day arrives, you are sick and tired of thinking about money. With an all inclusive honeymoon, you get a "two-fer:"

1. When you look at your wedding budget, you know exactly how much the honeymoon will cost. You pay for your honeymoon before you travel (like most any other trip), and after that you do not have to pay for ANYthing else. Compare this to a cruise. When cruising, you have an on-board charge account that all bar drinks (including sodas), tours, gratuities, etc. will be charged to. Before you leave the ship at the end of the cruise, you will be asked to settle that account by paying cash or placing it on a credit card. I've known honeymooners that spent almost as much to get off the boat as they did to get on. You don't want to leave your honeymoon feeling disapointed that you spent more money than you planned to. 

2. While you are on your honeymoon, you don't have to think about or discuss money. I tell honeymooners, you certainly don't want to be discussing what you can afford for dinner tonight. You want to be in the moment, making the most of your special time together. Compare this to a honeymoon in Paris. When traveling in a big city, each night you will choose a restaurant for dinner. You want to dine in romantic, gourmet restaurants, and you want him to be able to order a steak for dinner without worrying about how much it will cost.

Why should I choose a Sandals resort for my honeymoon?

Here are some useful facts about the Sandals resorts:

  • There are 20 Sandals resorts. Each resort has a unique personality. One of them will be a perfect match for your vacation style.

  • There are Sandals resorts on 10 Caribbean islands - Jamaica, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Curacao, Antigua, and two islands in the Bahamas. Coming soon Saint Vincent. 

  • Sandals is for couples. You can rest assured there will not be children splashing in the pool or crying at the dinner table. This is not the case at every all inclusive resort.

  • Each Sandals resort has at least 9 restaurants. Most all inclusive resorts will offer multiple restaurants. The difference at Sandals is each restaurant has its own theme, its own kitchen and its own chefs. So the food in each restaurant is different and gourmet. You will have a unique dining experience each place you eat at the resort.

  • At Sandals, expect the best of everything. Each room has a 4-poster mahogony bed. At the bar you will see premium brand liquors. The beach chairs are actually comfortable. The skiboats are Mastercraft, and the diveboats are Newton. The staff is highly trained and exceptionally friendly.

At the end of the day, there are two reasons I recommend Sandals resorts to honeymooners. First, I am 100% confident my clients will have a honeymoon that exceeds their expectations. And because at Sandals, LOVE is all you need - everything else is included.

Whether you are planning a large, elaborate event for many guests, an intimate gathering for a few close friends or a private ceremony for bride and groom, Sandals and Beaches resorts offer all inclusive destination weddings packages to suit any budget and most any bride's style. The Sandals WeddingMoon® is your customized all inclusive destination wedding and Caribbean honeymoon package.

The Sand Ladies are Certified WeddingMoon® Specialists by Sandals. We are highly trained by the Sandals Wedding Department to guide couples through the wedding planning process and ensure that their destination wedding experience is exciting and fun. As your WeddingMoon specialist, my job is to walk you step-by-step through designing your custom destination wedding, coordinate your guests' travel, and plan your romantic Caribbean honeymoon.
 
[This is the first entry in a 4-part blog series on the Sandals WeddingMoon®. Here I will talk about planning steps for "Before the Ceremony." Then, in subsequent posts, I will talk about designing the ceremony and reception in "Your Wedding, Your Style," "Your Wedding Day" and "The Honeymoon." This blog series is intended to give a general overview of the many options Sandals offers through the WeddingMoon® product and show how a Sandals or Beaches all inclusive destination wedding can fit most any style and any budget. It is not intended to be a complete guide to planning your destination wedding. That's where I come in! So at any point, please click the Plan My Wedding link on this web page to send me a note and request your complimentary all inclusive destination wedding consultation.]
 
Before the Ceremony

Planning your trip
The first step is to decide at which resort you want to get married and to book the bride and groom's stay. There are 20 different Sandals resorts and 3 Beaches resorts spread across 10 islands of the Caribbean. I have personally visited each one, and I will take time to get to know you and your unique preferences. Then I will recommend a couple of the resorts that I think best suit your style and personality. Depending on whether there will be children attending the wedding and how involved they will be with the wedding party, I will suggest whether the bride and groom stay at a Sandals resort or a Beaches resort. The wedding ceremony will take place at the resort where the bride and groom stay. Wedding guests may stay at a different Sandals or Beaches resort if necessary. So, first we will choose your resort and your travel dates, and we will book your trip. Sandals only requires a $400 deposit to book the trip.

Scheduling your ceremony
Next, I will book your ceremony day and time. Each of the islands have different requirements for how long you must be on the island before you are allowed to marry. I will go over these requirements with you, and we will determine what day and time you would like to have your wedding. Then, I will work with the Sandals Wedding Department to secure your ceremony time. Each resort only schedules one wedding per hour to ensure that you will have the staff's full attention. You may choose to hold your wedding ceremony during the very romantic twilight (just before sunset) hour. Sandals does charge a small premium for this frequently requested ceremony time, but it is the perfect way to ensure your wedding photographer catches some photos of your gorgeous dress against the brilliant colors of the Caribbean sunset.

Designing the ceremony and reception
There are several methods to choose from for designing your Sandals wedding ceremony and reception. Your wedding day at Sandals can be as customized as you wish. I will explain the design options in my next blog post.

Traveling with a group
If you will have wedding party members and/or wedding guests traveling with you, your group may qualify for special perks and amenities. Depending on the number of rooms booked in your group, the bride and groom could receive a complimentary room upgrade, manicure for the bride, massage for the groom, upgrades to the wedding reception and more. Sandals will also include perks for the wedding group members such as private group check-in, pre-wedding group celebration dinner and a commemorative gift for each member of the group.

Caribbean Destination Wedding

Whether your group is large or small, you can turn the stress of coordinating your family and friends' travel arrangements over to me. Please, give me any preferences or requests that you have regarding where your family and friends stay. Then, just tell your family and friends to call The Sand Lady to make their arrangements to attend your wedding.

Registering your trip
You may also want to take advantage of a travel-related bridal registry website. Once you have planned your trip, you can register it just like you would register for home goods at a retail store. You will register for items such as monetary contributions toward your trip as well as "extras" that you would like to add to your Sandals honeymoon. You may choose to register for off-site tours such as a sunset catamaran cruise, horseback riding on the beach or zip lining through the jungle. Or you might register for spa treatments such as a couples massage. You can even register for a private candlelight dinner for two under the stars. Whether your friends and family will be able to attend your wedding or not, they can contribute toward your honeymoon.

All About Sandals Select Rewards

What is the Sandals Select Rewards?

Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts have a program called Sandals Select Rewards, and it offers discounts and benefits. 

Points are earned based on the price of your resort stay. The higher your Sandals Select Tier the more points you earn per dollar. This is not a membership fee. Be sure that every reservation you make at Sandals Resorts has your Sandals Select Rewards Number attached to it. 

Sandals Loyalty Program

This program allows you to get up to 12% extra off the price when booking while at the resort property. Good news we can still be your travel agent for future travels after booking on resort property. 

My goal as your Travel Agent is to be of service and to save you money. You may wish to visit the Loyalty & Travel desk during your stay. They offer promotional discounts that are generally 10-12% off the best rates available. These promotions are only available to book while you are a guest on property. Booking another trip while at the resort is simply a way for you to receive an additional discount that I am not able to offer you. Please keep in mind that Sandals and Beaches resorts ARE NOT affiliated with any type of timeshare... So this is not a timeshare seminar. 

If you would like more information on this program or have any questions please reach out to me. 

Sandals Select Rewards members include membership only sales and promotions. Also this group includes Sandals Select Dinners and up to 20% off your Red Lane Spa Services and more...  Request your Complimentary Vacation Consultation.
