New All-Inclusive of the Year: Sandals Royal Curacao
We’ve called it the “Sandals Effect,” the impact on an island when all-inclusive leader Sandals enters. It’s often significant, leading to new tourism energy and, most importantly, an almost instant wave of new airlift. When the sparkling new Sandals Royal Curacao debuted this summer, the impact was even broader. The Dutch Caribbean destination almost immediately began setting new records for stayover arrivals, including from the all-important US market. The resort itself is a stunner, with remarkable design, some wonderful new amenities (including a cool new dine-around option) and new concepts for the Sandals brand.
