The Caribbean is home to the most stunning beaches, luxurious resorts, and the warmest of people. Aside from its natural beauty, it boasts good weather all year round. These are just some of the reasons why the Caribbean is one of the most popular travel destinations for families, couples, and honeymooners. If you’re from the United States, you’re just a few hours away by plane to the best adults-only Sandals Resorts. The award-winning Sandals Resorts are famous for their luxury, all-inclusive packages, and they also have a Sandals Select Loyalty Program to help you make the most of your vacation.
What’s The Sandals Select Rewards Program?
The Sandals Select is a way for the brand to show its appreciation to its loyal patrons. As a Sandals Select rewards member, you can earn points and other benefits based on your membership tier. It’s practically an exclusive group of regular guests who call the Sandals Resorts their home-away-from-home when in the Caribbean.
It is a free customer rewards program where, aside from points you can use for your stay, you can also get an invite to special Sandals events only for members. You may also receive special recognition from the top all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean. You can also earn a Free Week Award at a Sandals resort.
For the unfamiliar, Sandals has several resorts at the following locations in the Caribbean:
Jamaica
Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island
Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa
Saint Lucia
Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa & Beach Resort
Sandals Regency La Toc Golf Resort & Spa in St. Lucia
Antigua

It is important to note that you must add your Sandals Select Membership Number when you book your stay so you don’t miss out on member benefits.

How Can I Redeem My Sandals Select Points?
The more frequently you stay at Sandals Resorts, the more Sandals Select membership points you earn. This can lead to a good amount of savings. Your points are redeemable as discounts on your room rate for your new stays at Sandals. You can get as much as a 25 percent discount on the total room cost by redeeming your Sandals Select points.
Remember that your reward points expire three years after your last activity date at Sandals.
Can I Refer a Friend to Sandals?
In addition to the extensive benefits of the Sandals Select Rewards Program, Sandals has introduced the “Share the Love” Referral Program, a fantastic way for members to earn even more rewards while spreading the word about their amazing experiences.
With Sandals refer a friend program, you can earn up to 50,000 Sandals Select Reward points annually—equivalent to a $1,250 USD value—simply by referring up to five friends or family members to book a Sandals or Beaches vacation. It’s a win-win situation: not only do you earn points, but your friends or family also receive 10,000 points (a $250 USD value) that they can immediately apply toward their first stay after enrolling as a Sandals Select Rewards member.
Participating in the referral program is straightforward. As a Sandals Select member, you can log into your account on the Sandals website, find your referral link under the “Refer a Friend” section, and share it via a link, email, or social media.
Once your friend uses the referral link to create their account and make a booking, they’ll instantly receive their 10,000 points, and you’ll earn your points after they complete their stay. The program also allows you to track the status of your referrals—seeing who has been invited, who has clicked, and who has booked—right within your Sandals account.
This program not only rewards you for your loyalty but also encourages your loved ones to discover the luxury and relaxation of a Sandals or Beaches vacation.
How Can I Get A Free Week At A Sandals Resort?
If you are curious about the free week stay you can get for being a Sandals Select Member, you need to accumulate 70 nights at a resort owned by Sandals to qualify. Note that complimentary nights do not count.
Can I Use My Sandals Membership Points At A Beaches Resort?
Beaches Resorts is part of the Sandals family. Because of this, you can earn reward points based on the room you book at Beaches. Likewise, you can redeem your points and use them at one of the Beaches properties. Beaches Resorts are located in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos.
