Sandals® Resorts was honored at the annual Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards, earning the awards for Top Caribbean Hotel Chain and Top All-Inclusive Hotel Chain during a black tie gala hosted at the American Museum of Natural History on December 13th. In its 21st year, the awards recognize the best of the best in more than 80 categories of travel, as determined by the coveted votes of Travel Weekly readers who are among the industry’s top Travel Advisor experts. 

“The endorsement and unwavering support of our cherished Travel Advisor family is an invigorating feeling and these two recognitions are especially humbling for a Caribbean-born and bred brand built on a steadfast dream to define and perfect what it means to be all-inclusive,” said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts. “We are ever committed to curating vacations that answer to every whim – from quiet, quaint moments to the extraordinary – bringing our guests closer to each other while falling in love with our Caribbean island homes. The Travel Advisor community can count on us to continue leading in this revered space with ingenuity, intention and love.” 

Of the accolades, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, extended heartfelt congratulations to Sandals Resorts for the outstanding wins: “I am thrilled to witness Sandals’ remarkable double triumph at Travel Weekly’s recent Readers’ Choice Awards. This achievement is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and the exceptional guest experience they provide in Jamaica and other destinations across the Caribbean.”

The results of the Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards add to the momentum on the heels of this year’s debut of an entirely reconceptualized Sandals Dunn’s River in Ocho Rios, Jamaica – and as the brand prepares to embark on a year of all new milestones with the soon-to-open Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines set to welcome its first guests in March 2024. 

The Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards conducted an open ballot phase of the voting this summer, with readers invited to submit the companies, organizations, and brands they believed best exemplified a particular category. The leading vote recipients were identified as finalists, and a second round of voting on those names took place in the fall to determine the winners.
