In The News

We know that not all-inclusive resorts are created equal, especially when it comes to dining, and that’s why we created The Sandals Difference. No other resorts in the world give your more quality inclusions including more authentic cuisines, more flavors, more international chefs and more choices in restaurants. At Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts, it’s not just buffet fare. Our motto is to exceed our guests' expectations and so we have created Luxury-Included dining so that you can savor the best and experience excellence during your vacation.

For those looking for the culinary experience of a lifetime, set in one of the most beautiful locales in the Caribbean, The Daily Meal suggests a Luxury All-Inclusive vacation to Sandals Resort or Beaches Resorts in their article about All-Inclusive Resorts with the Best Food, which was also featured in USATODAY.com.

The Daily Meal editor, Lauren Mack, highlights several Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts that will satisfy those with a passionate palate:

Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa (Turks & Caicos)

The family-friendly resort is one of Paderson's top choices for its "excellent food, great activities for families, scuba diving, which is included and children can learn to scuba dive, and excellent waterpark."

Paderson recommends booking a room in the Italian village and notes the children's rooms are great for families. There is an adults-only pool and restaurant along with day care and baby-sitting so adults can enjoy alone time.

There are 16 restaurant options and kosher meals can be arranged. The hotel can accommodate guests who have allergies to or seek to avoid gluten, peanuts/nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, shellfish, sesame, and sugar. Vegan and vegetarian options can also be arranged in advance. Rates start at $641 per room, per night (two people); two-night minimum stay required.

Beaches Negril Resort & Spa (Negril, Jamaica)

Located on a pristine beach, Beaches Negril Resort & Spa has nearly identical amenities to Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages & Spa. Paderson placed Beaches Negril Resort & Spa on her list of best all-inclusive resorts for its amenities and Water Park.

Like other Beaches properties, kosher meals can be arranged. The hotel can accommodate guests who have allergies to or seek to avoid gluten, peanuts/nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, shellfish, sesame, and sugar. Vegan and vegetarian options can also be arranged in advance. Rates start at $662 per room per night (two people); two-night minimum stay required.

Sandals Royal Plantation (Ocho Rios, Jamaica)

The all-butler service boutique property makes Paderson's list for its quality-but-small beach and its impeccable service. The butlers are trained by the London-based Professional Guild of English Butlers. She recommends booking a room with a French balcony.

The hotel can accommodate guests who have allergies to or seek to avoid gluten, peanuts/nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, shellfish, sesame and sugar. Vegan, vegetarian, and kosher options can also be arranged in advance. Rates start at $572 per room per night (two people); two-night minimum stay required.

Sandals Emerald Bay (Great Exuma, Bahamas)

The adults-only Sandals Emerald Bay has the requisite beautiful beach but is great for golfers, said Paderson, who notes the on-property golf course is available for an additional fee.

Dishes to try include the Bahamian conch salad at Bahama Bay restaurant and the chicken pot pie at the Drunken Duck Pub. Try these dishes with the Planter's Punch El Dorado cocktail.

The hotel can accommodate guests who have allergies to or seek to avoid gluten, peanuts/nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, shellfish, sesame and sugar. Vegan, vegetarian and kosher options can also be arranged in advance. Rates start at $541 per room per night (two people); two-night minimum stay required.
