Potential Problems hen Cancelling Sandals Reservation

While policy allows you to cancel any time and for any reason, the refund process is fraught with multiple conditions. The resort promises up to 100% cash refund, but only on the land portion of your vacation. Depending on when you , you may receive part of your refund as a holiday certificate for a future trip.

Here is the Sandals Resort Refund Policy:

  1. 100% cash refund if you cancel 31+ days before the day D-day
  2. 50% cash refund + 50% in travel certificates if you can 15 to 30 days before the D-day
  3. 100% in travel certificates if you cancel 14 days or less before the D-day

Although Sandals Resorts allows short notice cancellation for all new bookings made before March 31, 2022, the refund process can be a tad unfair. While a travel certificate ensures that you don't lose your money, it only helps postpone your trip. The eligibility conditions for a refund are outlined in the Cancellation Protection Benefit.

  • Bookings made through Unique Travel Corp
  • US, Canada, and Latin America bookings
