Sandals didn't invent the all-inclusive concept, but over the years we've perfected it. For a decade, we have earned every award and accolade in the industry, placing Sandals leagues above any other all-inclusive resort. But the greatest reward of all is the high level of guest satisfaction we enjoy, with more than half of our guests having stayed with us before. Sandals is not only the World's Best in the eyes of the travel industry, but the best-loved resorts in the hearts of couples around the world.


The most known aspect of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences is the International Star Diamond Award. The award is the most prestigious award of true excellence in hospitality, gastronomy, attitude, quality, cleanliness and above all service. The Academy receives a large number of possible recipients of the award from from respectable sources around the world. The selection is then refined by the Board. The final evaluation is a visit by an anonymous inspector to review the destination and its services.
