Quick Answer - How much do Sandals Resorts cost? A 7-night stay for two adults typically costs between $4,000 and $7,000, excluding flights. This price includes luxury accommodations, unlimited dining and drinks, water sports, airport transfers, taxes, and gratuities.

Total cost varies based on the resort, room category (Luxury, Club Level, or Butler Elite), and time of year. Entry-level rooms at more affordable Sandals Resorts can cost less, while Butler suites and overwater bungalows during peak season can cost significantly more. However, in my experience, I’ve seen some opportunities to really lower the price!

This guide breaks down the average cost of a Sandals vacation, explains what’s included, shows realistic pricing scenarios, and shares expert tips to save money, so you can plan confidently and avoid surprises.

When you start to dive into the options, you find prices all over the place. What’s helpful is to look at a good number that’s on the lower/middle end of the average.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Sandals Vacation?

There are several variables that will affect whether the cost is higher or lower:

Resort location: Jamaica is typically the most affordable; newer or more exclusive islands cost more
Room Category: This is the biggest factor. A standard luxury-level room will be the most affordable option. Moving up to a Club Level room (with concierge service) or a Butler Elite suite will significantly increase the price. Those incredible Over-the- Water Bungalows? They represent the pinnacle of luxury and have a price tag to match. (I personally think Club Level is the sweet spot).
Time of Year: Travel during the peak season (mid-December to April) will always be more expensive, as there’s less chance of rain/hurricanes. You can find better deals during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) or the off-season (summer), though you might have a higher chance of rain. Note: While cheaper overall, you do run the risk of travel issues if planning during hurricane season (late summer through fall).
Length of Stay: While your nightly rate stays consistent, longer stays can sometimes unlock special promotions, like a free night.

What’s Included (and Not) in a Sandals All-Inclusive Package?

Sandals is one of the most comprehensive all-inclusive resort brands in the Caribbean. If you know much about their brand, you’ve seen that they like to tout how they take “all-inclusive” to a whole other level. Several other things, including standard tipping, are included in the price.

Included in your price:

Unlimited dining at multiple restaurants
Unlimited premium drinks and cocktails
Scuba diving (certified divers), snorkeling, sailing, kayaking
Fitness centers, tennis, beach activities
Nightly entertainment
Airport transfers
Taxes and gratuities

Once you arrive, you can truly put your wallet away.

What’s Not Included (Extra Costs to Budget For)

I truly do believe that Sandals has a great “all-inclusive” package. Still, there are a few things you’ll need to budget for if you want to add them into your trip.

Spa Treatments: The Red Lane® Spas are fantastic, but massages, facials, and other treatments come at an additional cost. (Red Lane Spa Menu Here)
Optional Tours & Excursions: Sandals partners with Island Routes Caribbean Adventures to offer incredible off-resort experiences. If you want to go zip-lining through the jungle or take a catamaran cruise, these will be extra.
Scuba Certification: While diving is free for certified divers, courses to get you certified or specialized dives (like a shark dive) are an additional fee.
Add-Ons, like Private Candlelit Dinners: For a special romantic evening, you can book a private dinner on the beach.
Wedding Fees: While Sandals offers a FREE wedding package for stays of 3 nights or more, government and administrative license fees are not included and vary by island.
Flights - Sandals can actually bundle the flights into your package, but it’s still not included in the room price.
Photo Packages - You’ll see photographers around the resort taking pictures. This is totally free. However, it does cost to actually get the pictures and take them home.
Tipping? - While tipping is included, there are some specific areas where you’ll want to budget for it if you add on services. This includes butlers, spa packages, excursions, and drivers. (Click Here for More Information on Tipping)
