If you just got engaged — first of all, congratulations. Second of all, I need you to read this before you start planning your honeymoon, because there is a very good chance you have already talked yourself out of Sandals based on a price assumption that is simply not accurate.
I hear it all the time: "Sandals is too expensive for a honeymoon." And every single time, I have to stop and say — are you sure about that? Because the couples I send to Sandals come back telling me it was the best money they ever spent, and many of them were shocked at how affordable it actually was.
Let me break it all down for you.
What Makes Sandals Different for a Honeymoon
Sandals Resorts are adults only and all-inclusive across every single property. That combination is what makes it so uniquely suited for a honeymoon. There are no families with young children running through the pool area, no screaming at the restaurant next to you, no awkward situations. It is you, your new spouse, and a resort full of other couples in exactly the same blissful headspace.
Everything is included from the moment you arrive. Unlimited gourmet dining at multiple restaurants, unlimited premium alcohol, all water sports, entertainment, airport transfers, tips, taxes — none of it gets added to a bill at the end of your stay. You show up, you enjoy each other, and you leave without a single surprise charge.
How Much Does a Sandals Honeymoon Actually Cost?
This is where most people are genuinely surprised. Entry level rooms at Sandals start significantly lower than most couples expect — and the all-inclusive nature of the resort means that the price you pay is truly the price you pay. No food budget, no drinks budget, no activity budget on top of it.
A 7-night honeymoon at Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia, for example, starts under $4,000 for two adults at entry-level room categories on select dates. That is less than many couples spend on a weekend trip to a major U.S. city once you factor in hotels, dining, drinks and activities separately.
And here is the part that removes every last barrier to booking: you only need $98 to secure your dates today. Sandals allows you to lock in your honeymoon reservation with a small deposit and then make flexible interest-free payments on the remaining balance until 60 days before your trip. So whether your wedding is in 2026, 2027 or 2028, you can get your honeymoon locked in right now for under $100 and pay it off comfortably over time.
Which Sandals Resort is Best for a Honeymoon?
Every Sandals resort is adults only and all-inclusive, so the honest answer is that you genuinely cannot go wrong. But here are my personal top picks for honeymooners based on the overall experience:
Sandals Regency La Toc — St. Lucia St. Lucia is one of the most naturally stunning islands in the Caribbean and La Toc sits right in it. Dramatic views, lush tropical scenery, private plunge pools, butler suites for couples who want to go all out. This is my most recommended Sandals property for first-time visitors and honeymooners specifically. The island itself does half the selling.
Sandals Grenada Grenada is one of the most underrated destinations in the Caribbean and this resort is one of the most underrated in the entire Sandals portfolio. Intimate, romantic, stunning overwater bungalows, private balcony rooms with soaking tubs — and pricing that will actually surprise you. I love sending honeymooners here because they feel like they discovered a secret.
Sandals Royal Curaçao If your wedding falls during hurricane season (June through November), Curaçao is the answer. It sits completely outside the hurricane belt, making it a year-round destination with no weather anxiety. Stunning modern design, incredible dining, and a vibe that feels more European than Caribbean in the best possible way.
Sandals South Coast — Jamaica For couples who want the ultimate privacy, South Coast delivers. Overwater bungalows that sit directly over the Caribbean Sea, private pools, an intimate stretch of beach that feels completely secluded. If budget allows for a higher-tier room category, South Coast overwater bungalows are a genuine bucket list experience.
What's Actually Included in a Sandals Honeymoon Stay?
When I say all-inclusive, I mean genuinely all-inclusive. Here is what is covered in your stay:
Unlimited gourmet dining at every restaurant on property (multiple options per resort, ranging from casual beachside to fine dining)
Unlimited premium alcohol including beer, wine, spirits and cocktails
All non-motorized water sports — snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing
Scuba diving for certified divers (one of the very few all-inclusive resorts that includes this)
All entertainment and activities on property
Airport transfers from the local airport to the resort and back
All tips, taxes and service charges
Complimentary room service
Nothing gets added to a tab. Nothing gets charged to your room. You are entirely free to enjoy your honeymoon without thinking about money for a single second.
Should You Book the Sandals Honeymoon Package Specifically?
Sandals offers a complimentary honeymoon package when you stay five nights or more and register your honeymoon at booking. The complimentary package typically includes extras like a bubble bath upon arrival, a romantic breakfast in bed, a night candle-lit dinner on the beach and other special touches.
For honeymooners, this is absolutely worth taking advantage of — and it costs nothing extra. Just make sure you register it at the time of booking.
What Do Honeymooners Actually Say About Sandals?
Every couple I have sent to Sandals for their honeymoon has come back saying the same things: they could not believe how many restaurants there were, they loved never thinking about a bill, and the resort felt more private and romantic than they expected. The adults-only environment makes a real difference — it genuinely feels like a couples retreat rather than a regular resort.
The couples who go for the higher-tier room categories — overwater bungalows, butler suites, rooms with private plunge pools — consistently say it is the best money they spent on their entire wedding experience. But even at entry-level room categories, the experience is exceptional.
