That’s super helpful. One thing I’m curious about is which Sandals Resort is the closest to the U.S. mainland, and are any of them right near their local airport so you don’t spend forever transferring after you land? Thank you
Hi Heather, that’s a great question. If convenience is a big factor, the closest Sandals to the U.S. mainland is Sandals Royal Bahamian in Nassau, Bahamas. It’s only about an hour’s flight from Miami, and once you land, the resort is just a quick 10–15 minute drive from the airport. The Sandals resort with the shortest transfer time, though, is Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica – it’s literally about a 5-minute ride from the airport to the resort. Both are great choices if you’d rather spend more of your time on the beach and less time traveling. If you want help finding the resort that best matches your interests, The Vacationeer can walk you through all the details (and their planning and booking services are free).
