FAQs
Sandals is an All-Inclusive Resort for those 18 years and older.
Do I need a Passport?
Yes! A passport is required to travel to Jamaica. If you need to renew or obtain a passport, please start the process ASAP as it can take up to 12 weeks to receive your passport in the mail.
How do I Book?
While we are now outside our window of being able to hold a room block, rooms at the resort may still be available and our travel agent may still be able to negotiate wedding discounted rates. *Do NOT book your room through Sandals' website yourself. Please use our travel agent*
We have secured a travel agent, Benny Chen, for your traveling convenience:
Phone: (917) 494 2283 | Email: smile@smileandgotravel.com
Our travel agent will gladly assist you with all your travel needs. If you RSVP 'Yes,' please contact Benny ASAP to place a hold your room. Benny can help you choose your room and dates of stay; obtain travel insurance, VIP fast track arrival and departure, private transfers from and to airport, and flights if interested; and communicate any dietary restrictions to the resort, etc.
*When contacting our travel agent to secure your room, please provide the following information to expedite your booking:
1 Full Name (exactly as it appears on your passport, including First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name).

3 Check-in and Check-out Dates.

Flights and travel insurance are an additional cost. (*We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance for the unexpected as we are NOT responsible for ANY penalties, losses, damages, or additional costs incurred.)

We recommend flying into Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay as there are more direct flights to this airport. You may also fly into Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) in Ocho Rios.
