Eleven of the 15 resorts in Sandals Resorts’ collection are now reopened, with more on the way.

In June 2020, Sandals introduced their Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness that include “several pre-emptive cleanliness measures that safeguard the guest journey from arrival to departure, including additional health and well-being requirements across all points of contact on resort.” As of January 26, 2021, Sandals expanded their Travel with Confidence program to include complimentary COVID-19 testing for all guests across the Sandals and Beaches resorts, in response to the CDC’s testing requirement for travelers returning to the U.S.
