If you’re interested in booking a trip to one of the all-inclusive adults-only Sandals resorts, you may be wondering if you can do so on your own, or if it’s worth it to use a Sandals travel agent.
It’s up to you, as Sandals makes it easy to book through their website. But as certified Sandals specialists, we will share some insights as to how using a Sandals travel agent can help you get the most for your money.
A Certified Sandals Specialist Has First Hand Non Biased Experience
Nothing qualifies us more than having visited the Sandals Resorts. You can learn so much online but once you visit it makes it easy for us to make recommendations and share ways to optimize your trip.
Every day we are asked questions about Sandals Resorts that we would not be able to answer if it wasn’t for the first hand knowledge. Additionally, we actually know better than the staff that works on the phone lines at Sandals. Just a quick example is the other day a Sandals employee said the drive to Sandals Saint Vincent was almost 2 hours, but I have personally made the drive twice and know it takes around 45 minutes.
Here are just a few examples of information we have shared with a current client to help them prepare for their trip.
- Arrival experience at the airport.
- Transfer length and experience from the airport of the different resorts.
- What are the best excursions from a resort?
- Resort room comparisons including the location on the resort, if butler service is a good fit for the client, and what amenities are important for the client. This is easier because we have stayed in or toured many of the Sandals Resorts.
- Helping the client choose the best resort based on dietary preferences.
- Knowing which resorts are easier to get the best beach or pool seats.
- Knowing which resorts are more calm and which are better for parties.
I could go on and on about the questions we answer to try to help clients choose the best resort for them. One other note is that your Sandals Travel Agent may not have visited every Sandals Resort. Since we have a team of travel agents, they can always rely on other travel agents for assistance.
Sandals Travel Agents Can Save You Money
Travel agents are going to have the same deals as you do when looking at the pricing for Sandals Resorts. The difference is Certified Sandals Travel Agents are familiar with all of the deals and discounts that Sandals offers, and are able to get you the best room for the best price.
We can also keep track of your reservation and rebook it if the rate for your room goes down.
Sandals Travel Agents Make The Process Easier
There are a lot of decisions to make when booking a Sandals vacation. From resort to room type to special extras, we can help you navigate the process with ease. We can also book your flights at the same time, saving you time and hassle.
Additionally, we can make sure that any special requests you have are taken care of, like flowers or decorations in the room. This is especially helpful for special occasion trips like honeymoons, anniversaries, and birthdays.
Sandals Travel Agent Assist When The Unexpected Happens
We will be available during your trip to help with any issues that come up, such as missed or delayed flights or problems once you’re at the resort. This can provide invaluable peace of mind.
What is a certified Sandals travel agent?
A certified Sandals travel agent, also known as a Preferred Sandals Specialist, has been trained by Sandals and is an expert on all of the resorts. We go through a comprehensive education program and are kept constantly up to date on changes like renovations, offers, and new resorts.
Some of us are also Sandals Wedding Specialists and are experts at booking destination weddings at Sandals resorts. We can help you choose from the various wedding packages to create the event of your dreams, and can also assist with booking rooms for your wedding party and guests.
When do you not need a Sandals travel agent?
If you’ve been to Sandals resorts multiple times and know where you want to go and what sort of room you want to stay in, you may not need to use a Sandals travel agent. However, it’s always worth checking with us to see if we can save you any money.
How To Find A Sandals Travel Agent Near You
Are Sandals Travel Agents Charging Extra?
Our travel agents do not charge you extra when booking your trip. It will be the same price as if you were to book the trip yourself, but with the added service of a personal travel agent.
This is possible because Sandals pays the Travel Agent a commission to compensate us for the work in helping you plan your vacation.
