In celebration of the first day of summer and to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Sandals' invention of its game-changing, swim-up pool bar amenity, Sandals Resorts has just announced the start of its "Swim-Up to Sandals Suite-Stakes".
Every Friday, from June 28 through September 20, 2019, Sandals Resorts will randomly surprise one lucky winner with a complimentary 5-night/6-day stay for two adults in a Swim-Up Suite at select Sandals Resorts. These five-star accommodations enjoy convenient, swim-up access from the guest pool, and are situated mere steps away from some of the Caribbean's finest beaches-all surrounded by incredible views of the tropical island landscape.
Unbeknownst to many, Gordon "Butch" Stewart, Founder and Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, is credited with having conceptualized the swim-up pool bar as part of his initial quest to exceed guests' grandest expectations of an all-inclusive resort, while also revolutionizing Caribbean hospitality, some 35 years ago.
The swim-up pool bar made its first appearance at Sandals' flagship resort, Sandals Montego Bay, in Jamaica. Now a signature centerpiece at all Sandals Resorts, the convenient, swim-up indulgence not only quickly became synonymous with Sandals, but also was picked up by and implemented in upscale resorts around the world.
"Thirty-five years later and the swim-up pool bar is an iconic cornerstone of our brand. Not many people know that Sandals invented the swim-up pool bar, but we were only getting started," said Gordon "Butch" Stewart in a press release. "Since then, we have continued innovating by introducing many firsts beyond the swim-up pool bar to the Caribbean-from Swim-Up Suites, to the iconic Over-the-Water Villas and Bungalows, overwater bars, rooftop and infinity pools, a speakeasy, a gourmet donut shop, and even a four-lane bowling alley-all at an all-inclusive resort."
Would-be vacationers can now enter the "Swim-Up to Sandals Suite-Stakes" by visiting sandals.com/swimupsweeps for a chance at winning this dream vacation for two.
