Health & Safety

Sandals now offers the Worry-Free Stress-Free Travel Vacation Assurance! Sandals has implemented the travel industry’s most comprehensive COVID-19 policies and protocols.

Included Assurances for Sandals Guests (included, meaning no additional charge!)

Vacation Replacement

If your stay is interrupted, you’ll receive a credit voucher for a future vacation to be redeemed within 12 months at NO COST to you. The value of this voucher will be equal to the amount you paid for your entire stay at the resort (for flights, see air credit replacement section).

$500 Per Person Air Credit Replacement

If your stay is interrupted, you’ll receive a replacement air credit voucher valued at the amount you paid for your flights (max. 500 USD a person) to be redeemed within 12 months. ONLY valid for U.S. bookings with flights made bundled with your Sandals vacation (Unique Travel Corp)

Travel Insurance is on Sandals! (Select Coverage Only, but Still!)

All reservations automatically receive insurance coverage for medical expenses during your resort stay and also includes several benefits while you’re away. Best of all, it’s on Sandals, purchased on your behalf and part of your reservation.

Free On-resort Re-entry Test

All departures to the U.S. and Canada are required to take a COVID-19 test for re-entry. These tests are FREE and conducted on resort by approved and practiced medical professionals with minimal distraction to your overall vacation experience.

On-resort Quarantine

In the unfortunate event you incur a positive test result from the initial Antigen test, a second test will be administered, which will be a PCR test. Should the PCR test incur a positive result and require quarantine, additional on-resort stay up to 14 days will be covered by Unique Vacations, Inc. (Sandals), making it one less thing to worry about. Unrivaled protocols and privacy provide the confidence you need to head to paradise.

Cancel Anytime for Any Reason

THIS is an incredible reason to travel with Sandals! You have the flexibility of cancelling your resort stay up to the day of departure. This is only applicable to the land/room portion of the booking. Flight cancellations are subject to airline carriers’ penalties and restrictions.
