Creator's Key Takeaways

Sandals asks that all you need is love and it is about couples not any special kind of couple but that you are a couple

If you're really trying to hold to a budget I always tell people let's get rid of the expensive air and let's go for the resort

Ask if they've been to any properties they'll have to be to all of them yeah just ask them have you ever gotten out from behind your desk

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Choose Secrets if you want to travel outside the Caribbean (e.g., Mexico or Europe).
βœ“Prioritize resort quality over airfare costs when budgeting; sometimes a cheaper destination's airfare makes the total package more expensive.
βœ“Always ask a travel advisor if they have personally visited the specific properties they are booking for you.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Demographics and body image β€” Don't be intimidated by marketing photos; all shapes and sizes are welcome and the resorts cater to a wide age range.
Budgeting for all-inclusive vacations β€” Focus on the quality of the resort and consider destinations with better 'airlift' (cheaper flights) like Mexico to save money.

Sandals Vs Secrets Resorts | All Inclusive Resorts. What's the Difference? Certified Sandals Specialist and AMR Master Agent Shari Marsh joins Ken to review the differences between these two all inclusive vacation providers. Both Sandals and Secrets provide an exceptional all inclusive experience, Shari details how she determines which resort is right for her particular guests. Shari and Ken discuss options for folks looking for an adults-only vacation in the Caribbean and other parts of the world. Shari relates how Sandals is privately owned versus Secrets being part of a much larger corporation; Hyatt World. Both have their advantages particularly when it comes to couples looking a particular destination or for those on a budget. Both Sandals and Secrets are adults-only but both companies offer a family brand as well Beaches in the case of Sandals and Dreams in the case of Secrets. Shari indicates that quite often the resorts are in close proximity for those looking for a multi generational experience. And finally, Shari dispels the myth that these resorts are only frequented by the "beautiful people" as she and Ken look at the demographics found at resorts.
