Sandals Resorts adds very “suite” upgrades in Jamaica & Saint Lucia

Sandals Resorts has introduced several new suite experiences across its portfolio of adults-only, all-inclusive Caribbean resorts.

These include four-bedroom butler villas and Skypool Suites with rooftop terraces, as well as additional next-generation rooms like the guest-favourite Rondoval Villas and reimagined beachfront and bluff view rooms.

Newly renovated villas at Sandals Ochi, including the Two-Bedroom and Four-Bedroom Butler Villas with Private Pool, are now offered as a bookable package for immediate stays.

Creating the perfect escape for a friends’ getaway, the new “FOMO: Fear of Missing Ochi” package takes care of everything, from a VIP Beach Club Day and US$350 experience credit to an in-villa private dining experience so that guests can laze by the private pool, explore the lore of Ocho Rios or vibe to the beats of the resort’s exclusive Ochi Beach Club. The package is available to book through Jan. 31, 2025 for travel now through Dec. 26, 2026.

Now available to book

New One-Bedroom Skypool Butler Suites with Roof Terraces are also available to book now at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay for arrivals on Feb. 1, 2025. These elevated suites take the guest favourite Skypool suites to the next level, offering unparalleled ocean views, spacious living and dining areas, and ample space to unwind.

As part of the new Balmoral building set on the ocean, the suites focus strongly on design and feature contemporary coastal Caribbean details, drawing inspiration from the blue waters and white sand of its setting. This expansion comes after the room category’s earlier debut at Sandals Negril, which quickly became one of the most sought-after suites at the resort.

Additional Rondoval villas

Sandals is introducing additional Rondoval Villas across the portfolio as well, expanding and elevating a guest-favourite room design.

At Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia, nearly two dozen Rondoval Butler Villas with Private Pools – eight of which will also feature a private rooftop – are now available to book for March 1, 2025 arrivals.

Inspired by Saint Lucia’s tropical charm, the villas’ sleek, modern design features light, airy tones that seamlessly tie in the serene outdoor setting into the lush getaway through glass doors. At Sandals Royal Curaçao, several Asombroso Rondoval Butler Villas with Private Pools are also available to book now, offering a secluded getaway for travellers and a taste of what’s to come in Saint Lucia.

Additional new room types across the portfolio include refreshed and reimagined beachfront suites with outdoor tranquility soaking tubs at Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals South Coast in Jamaica, two-story bluff villas with private patios and pools at Sandals Regency La Toc, and additional swim-up and skypool suites at Sandals Negril.

Bookable now through Dec. 23, 2024, guests who bask in the Caribbean a little longer can receive additional savings with up to US$1,000 off plus one free night on stays of at least seven nights at select Sandals, and up to US$400 off plus one free night for stays of seven nights or longer on select room categories at Beaches.
