Beaches Resorts and Sandals Resorts are on sale now through the end of January. There’s a lot to love about the offers: The discounts and perks are significant (I’ve outlined the details below) and the window for travel is wide. But you’ll need to book between now and the end of January to reap the savings from this big sale.

Beaches’ Winter Blues sale

Beaches Resorts’ Winter Blues sale is available at all three of its family-oriented all-inclusive resorts: Beaches Ocho Rios, Beaches Negril in Jamaica plus Beaches Turks and Caicos. The breakdown of the offers is:

  • Up to 65% off regular rates at all three resorts for stays of three nights or longer, based on double occupancy.
  • Up to $400 instant credit (deducted from the cost of the booking)
  • $175 in spa credit on bookings of seven nights or more
  • $175 of experience/tour credit on bookings of seven nights or more
  • An additional $100 off for booking online 

Sandals’ Winter Blues sale

Sandals Resorts’ Winter Blues sale is similar to the suite of deals offered by Beaches but with a little more savings:

  • Up to 65% off regular rates at all three resorts for stays of three nights or longer.
  • Up to $1,000 instant credit (deducted from the cost of the booking)
  • $175 in spa credit on bookings of seven nights or more
  • $175 of experience/tour credit on bookings of seven nights or more
  • An additional $100 off for booking online 

Beaches vs Sandals: Family or couple?

Beaches has exceptional offerings for families, but is also great for couples and adult groups (I went on a long weekend with my two sisters and had a fantastic time). There are currently three Beaches resorts, two of which are in Jamaica: Beaches Ocho Rios, Beaches Negril in Jamaica plus Beaches Turks and Caicos.

Sandals, which is adults-only and geared toward blissfully relaxing beach vacations for couples, delivers an upscale all-inclusive experience at its 17 resorts in some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beach destinations.

RIGHT FIT FOR YOU: How to choose the best Beaches Resorts

Here’s what’s true about both Beaches and Sandals: More than most, they’re all-inclusive resorts that feel ultra-generous, and include, among other things, water and land sports, specialty restaurants, and premium spirits. I’m particularly impressed with the included Scuba offerings. 

Who is this sale best for?

If you’re a Beaches or Sandals return visitor, you know that these are good deals and that these resorts offer a lot of value for money. And if you’ve always wanted to try out the brand (or you’re an all-inclusive first timer), this is a smart place to start: not paying full price and having a full year to travel. Note that the biggest savings come from stays of seven nights, but that you can still save on shorter stays of even three nights.
