Sandals & Beaches – What’s the Difference?

Sandals & Beaches — two world class brands that are considered by many to be the cream of the crop in the All Inclusive vacation game.  With Sandals & Beaches, you get incredible destination spots, world class luxury, some of the best food and wine to enjoy anywhere, and of course, top of the line service that sets them apart.  But beyond all of that, what is the difference between Sandals & Beaches?

Sandals

Sandals is strictly for adult couples only.  You will not find any children at Sandals resorts, you will not find any single vacation goers at Sandals resorts — you will only find couples at Sandals.  If you are looking for a vacation that is all inclusive, that features incredible beach destinations, and the romance that a couples only resort can bring, then look no further than Sandals.  Here are the Sandals resorts for you to choose from.

Jamaica

• Sandals Royal Caribbean
• Sandals Negril

Grenada

Antigua

Saint Lucia

Barbados

16 resorts, 6 Caribbean islands.  So many things to choose from, so much to enjoy.  That is what the Sandals brand is all about.

Beaches

The Beaches brand is much smaller in comparison to Sandals, but it is not any less impressive.  Beaches is designed for families, for couples, for singles, for anyone that wants to enjoy a particular destination.  While some Beaches resorts are on the same island as a Sandals resort, there is only one resort in the brand that is located on Turks & Caicos Islands, and that is a Beaches Resort.  Here are the resorts that fall under this brand.

• Beaches Turks & Caicos
• Beaches Negril
• Beaches Ocho Rios

3 resorts, two islands, all uniquely designed for any of your travel wants.

In addition, there is also the Grand Pineapple Resort located on the famous 7-mile beach of Negril, Jamaica!

When you stop and think about it, really the differences are not that great.  Simply put, Sandals is for couples, Beaches & Grand Pineapple are for families. Of course, couples can also enjoy Beaches & Grand Pineapple — there is nothing preventing that — but for adults only couples entertainment options, Sandals is where it is at.
