A typical Sandals vacation costs between $2,000 and $8,000 per couple for a 5-night stay, depending on the resort, room category, and time of year. According to Steve Griswold, a Sandals Chairman’s Royal Club Platinum Elite Advisor, “The most common question I get is ‘how much does Sandals actually cost?’ The answer depends on three factors: which resort, what room level, and when you travel. This cost calculator breaks down real pricing so you can budget accurately.”
