How to Get the Best Deal on Your Sandals or Beaches Vacation
Unlock incredible savings on your all-inclusive getaway with these expert tips. From choosing the right travel dates to leveraging exclusive resort deals, here's how to maximize value on your next Sandals or Beaches holiday.
1. Book Early & Monitor Pricing
Sandals resorts have limited capacity, and prices tend to go up fast—especially for popular room types and dates. Booking early not only secures your preferred room but also allows us at InterStays to track price drops and adjust your reservation (if permitted).
2. Be Flexible with Travel Dates
Mid-week departures typically cost less than weekends. Traveling during shoulder seasons like April, May, or November can also yield significant discounts—often with fewer crowds.
3. Take Advantage of Promotions (e.g., 7‑7‑7 Deal)
Sandals frequently offers promotions like the 7‑7‑7 deal—book 7 days, get 1 night free, and receive a 7% discount on seven eligible room categories. These deals stack well with early booking rates and can include free nights or credits.
4. Re‑Book During Your Stay
Surprise bonus: booking your next trip while still on-property can unlock a discount—typically 10–12% depending on accommodations level—and perks like spa credits or free meals. You’ll find this offer at the resort’s Loyalty & Travel Desk.
5. Use Reward Points & Airline Packages
Sandals Select members earn points toward future vacations (5000 points just for enrolling!). Combine points, military discounts, or airline vacation packages (e.g., JetBlue, American Airlines Getaways) to stretch your value even further.
6. Don’t Skip Travel Insurance
Life happens—and when it does, you’ll want protection. InterStays offers comprehensive travel insurance plans that cover trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and more, so you can travel worry-free.
7. Rely on Certified Specialists
Our Sandals-Certified Advisors offer FREE expert planning. We’ll hunt down the best deals, apply exclusive perks (honeymoon freebies, resort credits), and support you before, during, and even after your trip.
