Of all the destinations we book, Jamaica comes up more than almost anywhere else for couples — whether they’re planning a honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary, or secretly shopping for the perfect spot to pop the question. There’s a reason for that, and it goes beyond the obvious beautiful beaches.

The Sandals Factor

Jamaica is home to more Sandals resorts than any other island — five properties across the north coast, each with its own personality. That variety means we can match couples to exactly the right vibe:

  • Sandals Royal Plantation, Ocho Rios — A boutique, all-suite property with just 74 suites. This is the intimate, quiet option — no crowds, butler service for every guest, and a rooftop terrace restaurant that’s become one of the most requested proposal spots we book.
  • Sandals Ochi, Ocho Rios — Right next door to Royal Plantation with a completely different energy. Larger, livelier, with a massive beach and the Great House entertainment complex up the hillside. Great if you want both relaxation and nightlife.
  • Sandals Montego Bay — The original Sandals resort, right on the airport flight path (the planes landing are part of the charm, honestly). Recently renovated with stunning overwater bungalows.
  • Sandals Royal Caribbean, Montego Bay — Features a private offshore island you reach by boat, with a Thai restaurant, an infinity pool, and overwater hammocks. It feels like you’re getting two vacations in one.
  • Sandals South Coast — The newest and most secluded, with overwater bungalows that include glass floors, outdoor showers, and direct ocean access from your deck. If you’ve seen those dreamy overwater bungalow photos, this is probably where they were taken.

As a Certified Sandals Specialist, we have direct relationships with the resort concierge teams. That means we can coordinate things that aren’t available through the standard booking website — surprise room setups, private beach dinners, photographer arrangements, upgrade requests, and special occasion planning.

For Proposals

Jamaica is ideal for proposals because Sandals’ concierge teams are experienced at setting these up discreetly. The resort staff can arrange private candlelit dinners on the beach, in-room decorations timed to your arrival, a photographer stationed nearby to capture the moment, and even musicians if you want to go all out.

We help coordinate the logistics on our end — working with the resort team in advance so everything is in place before you arrive, and making sure your partner has no idea. The key is having an agent who’s worked with these properties before and knows which spots are the most private, which times of day have the best light, and which concierge contacts to go through.

For Honeymoons

Sandals resorts are all-inclusive down to the details: premium liquor, gourmet dining at up to 16 restaurants per resort, water sports, scuba diving (yes, included), and no tipping anywhere on property. That means once you arrive, your wallet stays in the safe for the entire trip.

Honeymoon couples also get complimentary extras that Sandals doesn’t always advertise loudly — a special turndown service, breakfast in bed one morning, a honeymoon dinner with white-glove service, and a few other touches that your travel agent can make sure you don’t miss.

Beyond Sandals

Jamaica isn’t only Sandals, of course. We also book:

  • Half Moon, Montego Bay — A legendary luxury resort with a more independent, less all-inclusive feel
  • The Caves, Negril — Boutique cliffside property for the adventurous and Instagram-inclined
  • Round Hill, Montego Bay — Old Hollywood glamour with Ralph Lauren-designed interiors
  • Beaches Ocho Rios — If you’re combining a honeymoon with a family trip (it happens more than you’d think), Beaches offers the Sandals quality with kids’ programs included

Getting There

Jamaica has two international airports — Montego Bay (MBJ) and Kingston (KIN). Almost all resort guests fly into Montego Bay, which has direct flights from most major US cities. Flight time from the East Coast is about 3.5 hours. We can book your flights alongside your resort, or just handle the resort and let you use miles for the airfare.
