Booking with Sandals direct

Sandals UK website

To continue my series of looking at booking hotels direct, this week I am looking at the Sandals website. For those who don't know Sandals is a leader in "ultra all inclusive" hotels where only couples are allowed. Sandals hotels, or I should say Sandals resorts are located in the Caribbean. They have resorts in Jamaica, St Lucia, Bahamas and Antigua.

For the very extravagant optional extras at Sandals include a private butler, Rolls Royce transfers and millionaire suites with private pool & whirlpool.

The Sandals website does run special offers including percentage discounts and free nights.
Also booking with Sandals doesn't mean you have to book hotel only. In fact you can book the whole package including scheduled flights with BA or Virgin. When you book a holiday there is no credit card charge (unusual in the UK travel industry these days!) and you can book with just a deposit of £300.

In general, when you are staying at Sandals it is a special occasion. A honeymoon or anniversary perhaps. For these types of holidays it is, of course, very important that everything goes right, which is another reason to book direct - Your special requests are more likely to be handled correctly.
