When Sandals Resorts International chairman and founder Gordon Butch Stewart introduced the "Luxury Included" holiday concept in 2007, he promised a reinvigorated company, committed to "choice, service and style".
The plans that he outlined for forward growth would later come to include a dramatic expansion at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa, the acquisition of Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma, Bahamas, the welcoming of Sandals Royal Plantation, Ocho Rios, Jamaica into the Sandals Resorts brand and the dedicated progression of significant, wide-ranging renovations most recently at Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort, Beaches Sandy Bay and Beaches Boscobel Resort & Golf Club.
Difference Defined
As one of the most important elements of the holiday experience, Stewart is proud of the quality and variety of the 174 dining and beverage outlets across his brands. Guests can choose from a variety of experiences, from beachside casual to white-glove formal and with a choice of authentic regional fares, including Caribbean, Japanese, Italian, French, Mediterranean and more. Top shelf liquors, including the introduction of renowned El Dorado rum and a partnership with Beringer Wines, ensure that what is in the glass is as important as what is on the plate.
