Gluten-free at Sandals Resorts
Planning a vacation when you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance can feel a bit stressful at first, especially when you're not sure what kind of food options will be available. But that is exactly why working with a travel advisor like me can make all the difference. I specialize in gluten-free travel and help take the guesswork out of your vacation planning.
One of my favorite resort brands for clients with dietary needs is Sandals Resorts. With 17 all-inclusive, adults-only resorts located throughout the Caribbean, including Jamaica, St. Lucia, the Bahamas, Grenada, and more, Sandals really goes above and beyond when it comes to accommodating special dietary requests. Their team is well-trained in handling food allergies and cross-contact, and they consistently exceed expectations when it comes to serving safe and delicious gluten-free meals.
Because Sandals Resorts are all-inclusive, all of your dining, snacks, and drinks are included in the price of your stay. That means you can enjoy everything from gourmet dinners and beachside lunches to tropical cocktails and late-night bites, all without worrying about hidden costs or gluten. Whether you are celebrating something special or just need a relaxing escape, Sandals makes it easy to enjoy a carefree, gluten-free vacation in paradise.

Although all Sandals Resorts have similarities, every Sandals Resort is unique!

With so many beautiful options, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I come in.

Sandals Resorts are exclusively for adults and are designed with couples in mind. Rooms must be booked for two adults, and the overall atmosphere is centered around romance and relaxation.
