Pixie Honeymoons founder shares exclusive insights after completing comprehensive review of all 18 Sandals properties, including newly opened St. Vincent resort
ATLANTA, GA - August 27, 2025 - Following significant changes in the Caribbean hospitality landscape and the opening of Sandals' newest property in St. Vincent, the award-winning team at Pixie Honeymoons - recognized as the #1 Beaches Resort Travel Agency in the United States and Top 10 Agency Worldwide at the December 2019 Sandals Star Awards - has released the definitive 2025 ranking of all Sandals resorts after comprehensive on-site evaluations of each property.

The comprehensive analysis comes at a crucial time for travelers, as the travel industry rebounds with record-breaking flight numbers and increased consumer confidence. Record-Breaking Flights: Over 282,775 flights departed from UK airports in Q3 2024, setting a new record with 51.24 million seats, while Travel Confidence Rebounds: Confidence in travel saw a notable rise, with 21% of respondents in an ABTA survey expressing high confidence in travelling, up from 15% in 2023.

Key Findings from the 2025 Sandals Resort Rankings [https://pixiehoneymoons.com/best-sandals-resorts/]:

Top 3 Resorts for 2025:

* Sandals St. Vincent - The newest property sets new luxury standards with exclusive amenities and pristine location
* Sandals Royal Curacao - Exceptional service quality and innovative dining concepts outside hurricane belt
* Sandals Dunn's River, Jamaica - Modern luxury meets Jamaican authenticity with enhanced guest experiences

"After visiting all 17 Sandals properties multiple times and analyzing over 1,000 guest experiences from our honeymoon bookings, we've identified clear leaders that represent the future of all-inclusive luxury," said Steve Griswold, owner of Pixie Honeymoons and Chairman's Royal Club Elite member.

What Makes This Analysis Unique:

First-Hand Experience Authority: Unlike typical travel rankings based on online reviews, this analysis draws from direct visits to every property by award-winning travel specialists, personal relationships with resort management, and feedback from over 1,000 honeymoon and destination wedding couples.

Real Guest Data: The rankings incorporate actual guest satisfaction scores, return booking rates, and detailed feedback from couples who chose these resorts for milestone celebrations.

2025 Specific Factors: The analysis considers new resort openings, recent renovations, post-pandemic service improvements, and emerging travel preferences of modern couples.

Regional Insights by Caribbean Destination:

Jamaica (7 properties): Dunn's River leads with innovative concepts, while South Coast remains top for romance

St. Lucia (3 properties): Grande St. Lucian dominates with overwater bungalows and scenic location

Bahamas (1 property): Royal Bahamian offers best accessibility for US travelers

Other Single-property islands: St. Vincent, Curacao, Grenada, Barbados, and Antigua each offer unique advantages

Industry Impact and Timing:

The release coincides with peak 2025 booking season and follows industry reports showing Airlines saw a remarkable 66% increase in search visibility, while review sites experienced a 38% decline due to algorithm updates prioritising first-hand experience.

"Travelers are increasingly seeking authentic, expert-driven recommendations over generic review aggregations," noted Steve Griswold. "Our direct experience with these properties, combined with real guest outcomes, provides the credibility couples need when investing in once-in-a-lifetime celebrations."
