5–Star Global Gourmet Dining

Beaches specializes in specialty restaurants and you never have to pay extra to enjoy our world of flavors. Each venue offers a unique ambiance and everything you order is always included and unlimited. Even tipping is not allowed. At other resorts the hidden extra charges can really add up. But at Beaches, your wallet gets a vacation too.

Never at Beaches. You're on vacation and shouldn't have to adhere to a schedule. Unlike cruise lines, there are no pre-set dining times or tables with strangers that you are forced to sit with every night. At Beaches, you can choose from up to 19 gourmet restaurants per resort and choose to dine at a romantic table just for two or a large table that accommodates your entire family. So dine whenever, wherever, and enjoy whatever your palate desires.

No. At Beaches Resorts, all drinks are included and unlimited—from premium spirits to top-rated Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines. You may pay more for premium brands at other resorts or they may be included only during set times, but not at Beaches. All alcoholic beverages are always on the house and available 24/7. If you're in a top-tier room category, we even include fully stocked in-room bars, replenished daily. Because we wanted to make your vacation as romantic and relaxing as possible, only couples may stay at Sandals. But we open our arms to welcome singles, friends, and families to our fabulous Beaches Resorts.
