Sandals Invests $200 Million, Reopens Royal Caribbean Nov. 18

Sandals Resorts says it is investing $200 million across three Jamaica all-inclusive resorts, with Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean scheduled to reopen on Nov. 18. The move puts royal caribbean back on the calendar with updated room inventory and more luxury suite options before a busy travel season.

Sandals Montego Bay

Sandals Montego Bay sits directly on the beach just outside Sangster International Airport. The resort is among the company’s best-known Jamaica properties, and its reopening on Nov. 18 restores access to that location after the upgrade work.

For travelers choosing between Jamaica resorts, the site location is part of the appeal. Sandals tied the reopening to the broader $200 million investment across three properties, a plan that keeps attention on how much capacity returns at once and how quickly it comes back online.

Sandals Royal Caribbean

Sandals Royal Caribbean also reopens on Nov. 18. The property includes an offshore island component with boat access to a smaller private beach area, along with some of the company’s best-known overwater accommodations in Jamaica.

That mix gives the resort a different inventory profile from Sandals Montego Bay, and the reopening adds those rooms back as demand builds toward the end of the year. The two properties returning on the same date give the company a synchronized reset across part of its Jamaica portfolio.

Sandals South Coast

Sandals South Coast is expected to welcome guests beginning Dec. 18. That puts the last of the three Jamaica resorts back in service one month after the first two reopen, extending the rollout across the company’s upgrade plan.

The timing leaves travelers with a clear sequence: Nov. 18 for Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean, then Dec. 18 for Sandals South Coast. Sandals has linked those dates to a regional expansion that also includes new accommodations in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines beginning Nov. 1.
