Sandals Resorts is inviting travelers to rediscover Jamaica with the launch of "The Great Jamaica Comeback," a sweeping reintroduction of the island paired with a limited-time sale offering up to $1,500 in instant credit, up to $350 in air credit and a free Jamaican adventure with qualifying bookings.

The campaign centers on three newly reimagined properties. Sandals South Coast reopens first, on November 18, 2026, followed by Sandals Montego Bay and the newly renamed Sandals Caribbean Cay (formerly Sandals Royal Caribbean), both opening December 18, 2026. Each resort has undergone a full transformation, including redesigned pools, new restaurant concepts and refreshed landscaping, rather than a simple cosmetic refresh. All three are open for booking now, ahead of their reopening dates.

Beyond the three headline resorts, the sale also covers Jamaica's four other Sandals properties: Sandals Dunn's River, Sandals Negril, Sandals Ochi and Sandals Royal Plantation, with per-person, per-night rates starting from $209.

Guests who book stays of five nights or longer receive a complimentary excursion tied to their resort, such as a catamaran cruise to YS Falls from Sandals South Coast, bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae River from Sandals Montego Bay or Sandals Caribbean Cay, or a catamaran cruise to Dunn's River Falls from Sandals Ochi, Sandals Dunn's River or Sandals Royal Plantation. Travelers must register for the adventure after booking.

Sandals is also offering free weddings in Jamaica for a limited time: couples booking 2027 stays of five nights or more in a Club or Butler category room at Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Caribbean Cay or Sandals South Coast will receive a complimentary Sweetheart wedding package for up to 50 guests, along with waived Jamaica marriage license and administrative fees.

For guests with existing loyalty status, Sandals confirmed that Sandals Rewards points and status carry over unaffected by the closures, and travelers whose prior Jamaica bookings were cancelled due to the renovations can work with the reservations team on rebooking options.

Room deposits start at $49 per person, and Sandals' Best Price Guarantee applies across all bookings.
