In this episode of Islands Uncovered, we’re diving into the hottest Sandals and Beaches Resorts promotions happening right now starting with the brand new Gift the Caribbean Sale! I’ll break down exactly what this offer includes, how long it lasts, and which resorts offer the pest incentives to book during this sale.

Then we’ll get into the ever-popular Sandals & Beaches 777 Weekly Deals with an overview of the rooms and my insider tips on how to maximize these limited-time room discounts for honeymoons, anniversaries, or your next just because getaway.

In the second half of the show, we’re heading to St. Vincent, home of the brand new Sandals 2.0 resort Sandals St. Vincent for a fascinating look at the history of La Soufrière volcano including its past eruptions, its cultural significance, and what life on the island looks like today. And don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe to visit! In fact, the island is thriving, and there’s so much beauty and resilience to explore and so many Island Routes Tours that you can book to see this volcano for yourself!

If you're dreaming of a Sandals or Beaches escape, want more details on these promos, or need help choosing the perfect resort or room category, reach out anytime. My travel planning services are always free, and I’d love to help you Gift the Caribbean to someone you love or to yourself.
