SANDALS ROYAL<br />
CARIBBEAN<br />
MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA<br />
WHY Sandals has changed the mind of many<br />
all-inclusive skeptics, raising the bar with<br />
luxury options like butler service and allowing<br />
guests to dine off-property at its sister resorts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> brand’s Royal Caribbean property has<br />
overwater bungalows with glass floors that<br />
rival anything you’d find in the Maldives.<br />
BEST TIME TO VISIT <strong>The</strong> island is blessed<br />
with great beach weather year-round,<br />
though October can be rainy.<br />
NOT-TO-MISS EXPERIENCE <strong>The</strong> resort’s<br />
private offshore island is just a five-minute<br />
boat ride away, but you’ll feel like you’ve been<br />
transported to southeast Asia. Balinese-inspired<br />
beach cabanas dot the sand, and a templeinspired<br />
restaurant serves excellent Thai food.<br />
Lounge on one of the overwater hammocks set<br />
up over the sea, or sip cocktails at the pool’s<br />
swim-up bar. <strong>The</strong> island even has its own spa.<br />
Massages are one of the few experiences not<br />
included, but are definitely worth the splurge.<br />
PRICE Rooms from $223 per person<br />
