Discover the World with Angie Waite

When couples first begin planning a destination wedding, honeymoon, or Caribbean vacation, one of the most common questions I hear is:

“Is Sandals or Beaches really worth it?”

The truth is — the answer depends on the experience you’re looking for.

Sandals and Beaches Resorts are known for luxury, service, and all-inclusive ease — but they aren’t meant to be everything to everyone. And that’s actually what makes them such an incredible choice for the right couples.

Let’s break down who Sandals and Beaches are best suited for — and how to know if one of these luxury brands aligns with your vision.

Sandals Resorts are adults-only, all-inclusive luxury resorts designed specifically for couples.

Sandals may be the perfect fit if you’re looking for:

✔ A romantic, elevated atmosphere
✔ Adults-only luxury
✔ A seamless destination wedding or honeymoon experience
✔ Premium dining, top-shelf drinks, and thoughtful service
✔ Beautiful beachfront and garden wedding venues
✔ An experience where everything is included

Sandals weddings are especially popular for couples who want a refined yet relaxed celebration — where planning feels simple and the experience feels indulgent.

Beaches Resorts offer the same luxury and all-inclusive service Sandals is known for — in a family-friendly environment.

Beaches may be the perfect fit if you’re planning:

✔ A destination wedding with children in attendance
✔ A family-friendly wedding weekend
✔ A honeymoon combined with family travel
✔ A luxury vacation where guests of all ages feel included
✔ A stress-free group or family celebration

For couples who want a destination wedding that welcomes everyone — without sacrificing service or quality — Beaches Resorts are an incredible option.

While Sandals and Beaches offer exceptional value for the experience they provide, they may not be ideal if:

• You’re searching for the lowest possible price
• You prefer a completely DIY planning process
• You’re unsure about destination travel for your guest list
• You want to manage vendors and logistics independently

And that’s okay.

Clarity early in the planning process saves couples time, money, and stress later on.

One of the biggest mistakes couples make is choosing a resort before understanding how destination wedding planning truly works.

When you know:

• your priorities
   
• your guest experience goals
   
• and the type of planning support you want
   

everything becomes easier — from narrowing down resorts to choosing dates, budgets, and wedding packages.

This is where working with a Sandals & Beaches specialist makes a meaningful difference.

As a dedicated Sandals & Beaches wedding, honeymoon, and vacation specialist, my role is to help couples determine early on whether this luxury brand aligns with their vision.

I guide couples through:

• understanding the differences between Sandals and Beaches resorts
   
• selecting the right location for their wedding or honeymoon
   
• navigating guest logistics and travel planning
   
• ensuring the experience feels effortless and well-supported
   

My goal is never to “sell” a resort — it’s to help you make a confident, informed decision that feels right for you.

When couples choose a resort that truly matches their vision, the planning process feels lighter, clearer, and far more enjoyable.

Sandals and Beaches offer an elevated destination experience — but the key is knowing which one fits your celebration best.

If you’re considering a Sandals or Beaches destination wedding, honeymoon, or vacation for 2026 or 2027, I’d love to help you explore your options and move forward with confidence.
