Sandals Resorts is offering a playful, pressure-free solution to help couples guide their significant other toward their favorite wish list Caribbean vacation and enter a chance to win a luxury Caribbean getaway.

A new downloadable DIY Hinting Toolkit was created in response to a survey conducted by the Sandals Institute of Romance. The survey polled over 1,000 consumers in holiday relationships as a way of helping gift recipients be happy with their holiday present.

Key survey findings showed:

  • 72 percent of respondents admit they've been disappointed by a holiday gift from their partner.
  • 46% percent don't clearly remember the gifts they received from their partner on previous holidays.
  • Nearly 60 percent have returned – or considered returning – a holiday gift from their partner
  • One in six admit that their partner's gift giving misses the mark.
  • 35 percent of admit to feeling uncomfortable telling their partner what they actually want, and nearly half (49 percent) try to drop hints that usually fall flat.
  • Notably, 42 percent say their favorite relationship memory came from a shared experience over a material gift.

Downloads feature Sandals’ signature jerk chicken, favorite rum recipes, a Caribbean playlist and other tropical hints impossible to miss. Every download represents an entry for a chance to win a four-night stay at any Sandals resort.

In addition, Sandals “Gift the Caribbean” sale offers travelers up to $1,000 in savings, a $299 resort credit, one free night and a $100 web booking bonus on select stays, valid on bookings at 11 of Sandals’ all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica, Curaçao, and St. Lucia – including Jamaica's newest resort, Sandals Dunn's River, and Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia. Bookings can be made December 9, 2025, through January 2. 2026 for traveler through December 25, 2027.

Beaches Resorts makes hinting easy for families as well with their version of the “Gift the Caribbean” sale offering $500 in savings, a $200 resort credit and $100 web booking bonus. Available for booking December 9, 2025, through January 2, 2026, for travel through December 17, 2026, the offer includes stays at all Beaches resorts, including Beaches Turks & Caicos and Beaches Negril in Jamaica.
