What Does “Adults-Only All-Inclusive” Actually Mean?
An adults-only all-inclusive resort bundles your room, meals, drinks, activities and tips into one price, and keeps the property child-free. Sandals states that all Sandals resorts are adults-only, which is why they are the default choice for honeymoons, anniversaries and couples trips. Beaches Resorts is the family-friendly sister brand, so it is not adults-only.
