Sandals readies for what should be an exciting 2023

Two Sandals resorts in Jamaica and St Lucia are to be expanded with more rooms.

Next spring, the Jamaica-based all-inclusive hotel chain will be adding more rooms to a pair of resorts in the Caribbean – Beaches Negril resort in Jamaica and the Sandals Halcyon Beach in St Lucia. 

The new room announcement comes as Sandals readies for what should be an exciting 2023, headlined by the debut of the new Sandals Dunns River in May 2023. All of the new rooms are now available for reservations for stays beginning April 6, 2023. 

In Negril, the Beaches resort is adding new Firesky Reserve Villas and the new Eventide Penthouse Collection. Firesky will consist of six villas, each with four bedrooms across three stories and 3,700 square feet.

All of the villas will include large living areas, kitchens, private oceanfront plunge pools and rooftop decks. The Eventide collection will include six suites, each with either three or four bedrooms with room for up to 16.

The suites will include access to a rooftop terrace. Each of the room types is ideal for large families looking to take advantage of one of the region’s top family-friendly resort experiences. 

In St Lucia, Sandals is adding new Joli Beachfront Suites and Koko Rondoval Villas. The expansion includes 20 new Joli Beachfront Suites, each with walkout beach access and private pools along with balconies featuring the company’s Tranquility Soaking Tubs. 

This is in addition to five Koko Rondoval Villas. The St Lucian resort expansion will raise Halcyon Beach’s room count to a total of 194 rooms. 

Commenting on the expansion plans, Sandals Resorts International Executive Chairman Adam Stewart remarked: “Our guest experience drives everything we do and these new suites are emblematic of our unrelenting move across the brands as we challenge ourselves to reimagine every facet of the business.”

Added Stewart: “We wanted to go beyond traditional luxury and these new suites are stunners; it’s about design and amenities that make connecting with each other more comfortable and more fulfilling.”
