Ready to embark on the vacation of a lifetime?
Summit to Shore Travel Group is proud to partner with Beaches. There is so much to know, but we are here to walk you through each of the family friendly resorts and help you decide!
How is Beaches different from Sandals?
SANDALS is for adults 21 and up. Rooms are priced for 2 and only fit 2. Some Sandals resorts are set up for couples in love, while others offer a perfect friend getaway, mother/daughter trip, or even group trips for scuba, pickleball, or yoga.
BEACHES is for families. Rooms are priced for 2 and increase based upon additional guests. Rooms can fit anywhere from 2 to 14+ people depending on the room and the resort. Take your family on a multi-generational trip and get separate rooms or one large room, its up to you.
Why We Believe Beaches Does "All Inclusive" the BEST!
All The Reasons We feel Beaches Does It Better than their competitors
We believe your vacation should be unique to you and so does Beaches. We'll walk you through all the reasons we feel you should book Beaches Resorts with us. After you book with us, we can be involved in the process with you as little or as much as you would like. You just let us know!
Reason 1. Beaches is Autism Friendly
We hear families with children who have hidden disabilities say "but that's not for us."

Aside from our complimentary Kids Camps, optional private childcare services are available to you and your family anytime during your stay. Their nannies (specializing in infant care for ages 0-24 months) and childcare specialist (ages 2-17 years) are certified by the International Nanny Association and qualified with an Associate Degree in Early Childhood education.
- Service is available at a 2-hour minimum.
- Must cancel 3 hours before appointment or will be charged.
- Standard nanny and childcare professional rates cover 1-3 children.
- A second nanny or childcare professional is required for larger groups
Reason 3. The Amount of Inclusions
We love that your room level doesn't dictate inclusions at Beaches like it does at other Resorts. No matter which room you book, you have full use of everything on property. All restaurants, all beaches, and there's no wristbands!
Reason 4. Unlimited Dining
The food and drinks!! It's all unlimited, all the time. Regardless of your room level you don't have restrictions dictating which restaurants, bars, coffee, or snack places you can go. Want to have Pre-Dinner drinks at one spot, Appetizers at another and Dinner somewhere else? Go for it! Took one bite of what you ordered and hate it? Order something else. Love what you had and want some more? Order another!
Have dietary restrictions? Every resort has a free culinary concierge to set up meals plans for you and your family.
Reason 5. Unlimited Watersports
They have the most included Watersports Department in the Caribbean. Unlike other resorts, you aren't limited to 1 hour of use per day, only have access to non-motorized water sports. Did we mention the personalized instruction from Beachesd Water Sports Team is amazing?
Reason 6. Unlimited Scuba
Now that you've read that Scuba is an included watersport, lets discuss further. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie, the world of underwater exploration is at your fingertips with Beaches! Diving is included twice a day with the ability to purchase night and wreck dives where available. Click our link below for more information on diving and becoming certified at Beaches.
Reason 7. Unlimited Land Sports
As if the completely ridiculous number of watersports wasn't enough for you, how about the land sports? Yes, those too are all included all the time no matter your room category.
Reason 8. Complimentary Green Fees
Have we mentioned Golf? At Beaches Ocho Rios, complimentary green fees and round-trip transfers are included for everyone at Upton Estate Golf & Country Club, awarded four-stars by Golf Digest.
Reason 9. Multiple Resorts to Choose From
Beaches Currently offers 2 locations with more being built as we speak. 1 in Jamaica and 1 in Turks and Caicos.
- Beaches Negril, Jamaica (2 hours from airport) is a medium size resort along the famous 7-mile beach
- Beaches Turks & Caicos (15 min. from airport) is the largest of the family friendly resorts and has five different villages (Caribbean, Italian, French, Key West and the brand-new Treasure Beach) making it feel as though there are f resorts in one. Located along Grace Bay Beach, voted one of the world's best beaches.
Reason 10. Room Choices
Your choice of room based on your preferences.
LUXURY ROOMS are smaller rooms that fit budget conscious travelers. They typically fit a max of 4 people and almost always have garden views.
CONCIERGE ROOMS provide staff that will help you with dinner reservations, invitation to their weekly cocktail party and more. These rooms can typically fit 5 people and room locations are anywhere from garden view to beachfront.
BUTLER ROOMS are for those who wish to be pampered to the fullest. They come with a team of butlers, 24-hour room service, reserved beach & pool chairs, and a cell phone so no matter where you are on the resort, you can ask your Butler to bring drinks, snacks, and even meals. Butler rooms are typically the best rooms on the resort with the largest square footage and can fit up to 14 people.
Reason 11. On Resort Entertainment
Beaches offers entertainment throughout your stay. Play makers will have you busy all day long with pool and beach activities. Unwind after dinner with nightly entertainment from local artists showcasing their ability to dance, sing, or jive with their steel drum band. Beaches has the kids in mind too. From nightly kids shows at all resorts, to a train that drives you around the property at Turks and Caicos, Sesame Street Characters and waterparks, your kids will never be bored.

Why you should let US book your Beaches get away
Reasons to use us Summit to Shore Travel Group instead of booking it on your own:
1. Have you ever shown up to your vacation and had a shock factor when what was advertised or discussed in online forums wasn’t what it turned out to be? We know the resorts. At Sandals (and Beaches), each resort has a different vibe and we’re proud to say we’re pretty good at matching YOUR wish list to YOUR resort. Unlike social media, we aren’t biased. We don’t judge a resort based solely off we want on our vacation. We know that all resorts have a unique touch and there is THE perfect resort for each person!
2. Have you ever had a vacation that went upside down in quick hurry? Unfortunately, it has happened to us on our own vacations more than once. With Summit to Shore Travel Group's personalized vacation management team, all you have to do is get in touch with us and let us know what issues you may be having. Then you get to relax on your vacation while we take it from there and work to resolve it. Reservation not on record when you arrive? Leaky A/C unit in your room? Mold in the bathroom? No hot water? No towels? A room that is nowhere near what was advertised? These are just a few of the issues we have experience with all over the world. Instead of spending your day in your room waiting on a call back from the front desk or sitting in an office waiting for someone to help you, you get to enjoy your well-deserved vacation while we take care of the issues.
3. Have you ever wondered why people get certain deals that you didn’t get? While yes, everyone has access to the Sandals website, not everyone has years of experience and additional information on the brand. We know the brand, what they offer, and we are great about finding the best deal we can get you. We have lost count of how many times we hear “MY TRAVEL AGENT DIDN’T TELL ME THAT!” or “NO WAY, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!”. It makes us wish there was a better vetting process for anyone allowed to do business in any industry, but especially one we work so hard in to do an outstanding job for our clients in. Our love for the brand seeps through our pours and we always find ourselves in conversations everywhere we go discussing all the things everyone can get from a Sandals experience regardless of if they book with us, another travel agent, or not.
4. Have your ever been envious of someone’s social media posts where they brag about what they had done for them? The something special that was placed in their room? The special occasion that was celebrated when someone else’s wasn’t? Could be as simple as a plate of chocolate strawberries or towel animals on their bed the first night...those are things we can do for you! As a way of telling our customers THANK YOU for allowing us the privilege of booking, and trusting us to get it right, we go the extra mile for you. We always strive to go the extra mile for our clients!
5. We could talk about all the airline cancellations lately, but we’ll just simply say “airline issues”. When your airline throws a grenade onto your vacation plans, we can help you recover. We will talk with you to see how you want to move forward and then while you enjoy drinks at the airport bar, we start working with Sandals to get your trip tweaked. Is there an extra day available on your room? Maybe not in your room, but there’s one more left on resort and we grabbed it for you. There are so many ways we can help we’ll just say we all have a love/hate relationship with airlines and we’ll do our best to make any disruptions sting as little as possible.
A GREAT travel agent can make your vacation seamless, but we understand some hesitation.
We understand that it can be difficult to trust a Travel Agent, especially when you've had a bad experience in the past. Not all travel agents are created equal and our goal is to show you that me aren't "them". Everyone has heard of, or had, a bad experience with an awful travel agent. While we would love the opportunity to show you that we are different, and as valuable as your vacation, we can’t get that point across unless you're willing to give us a try.
Prior experience with a less than stellar travel agent can leave a terrible taste in your mouth. I promise, not all travel agents operate like car salesman.
We offer the ability to book your own trip directly with Sandals in our links below. We hope that the information we've provided will not only make your vacation more enjoyable but bring you back to us for future trips and allow us to earn your trust.
Each link opens to external websites. While it does list our name at the top of the page as your referral, there's no gimmick where we take over your vacation once booked. It's just there so Sandals knows we referred you to their website.
