Affiliate Disclosure

Caribbean Resort Report is a participant in Sandals' affiliate and travel advisor referral programs. This page explains how that works and what it means for you as a reader.

How This Site Makes Money

Most links on this site that lead to Sandals.com — including “Check Availability,” “Book Now,” and similar buttons — are affiliate/referral links. If you click through and make a booking, I may earn a commission from Sandals. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you book through my link or go directly to Sandals.com.

My Role as a Sandals Elite Advisor

Separately from affiliate compensation, I am also a Sandals Elite Advisor — a designation from Sandals Resorts for travel professionals who help guests plan and book Sandals vacations. This means:

• I have a direct business relationship with Sandals, not just a per-click advertising arrangement.
• I can be reached directly to help plan your trip, and I may earn a commission on bookings I help arrange, in addition to (or instead of) the commission earned through on-site affiliate links.
• This relationship does not cost you anything extra, and Sandals' pricing is the same regardless of whether you book with my help, through my links, or entirely on your own.

Editorial Independence

The content on this site — resort comparisons, ratings, “Who Is It Best For” sections, and factual details — is based on my own research, official Sandals resort fact sheets, Sandals Elite Advisor training materials, and (where noted) publicly available guest review data. Having a financial relationship with Sandals does not change the facts I report about a resort, and I aim to flag genuine tradeoffs (renovation timelines, shared amenities between sister resorts, room categories that aren't worth the upgrade, etc.) even when that information doesn't help drive a booking.

Why This Disclosure Exists

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires anyone who earns compensation for recommending a product or service to disclose that relationship clearly, so readers can weigh recommendations accordingly. This page, along with the shorter disclosure notices on individual articles, is intended to meet that requirement. You can read the FTC's own guidance on endorsements and disclosures at ftc.gov.
