The first Sandals resort, Sandals Montego Bay, opened its doors in 1981. Right from the very start, Sandals focused on perfecting the ultimate couple’s holiday, and by doing so rocketed in popularity for couples from all over the world looking for a romantic escape to the Caribbean.

This article will give you all the information you need to pick the right resort for you.
Before we hand you the list of the 18 best-rated Sandals Resorts (we will get there!), it’s important to note that your idea of a dream holiday differs from someone else’s idea of a dream holiday.
