Sandals
Resorts International is closing all 19 Sandals and Beaches Resorts on seven
Caribbean islands from March 30 to May 15 in a move to safeguard the
safety and health of its guests and team members because of Covid-19,
said Sandals chairman and founder Butch Stewart.
No
new arrivals will be accepted as of March 23.
“Recent
global travel warnings, coupled with airline carrier cancellations, compelled
us to make the difficult decision to close,” Stewart said. “Our
team will be reaching out to all guests personally to assist with rescheduling
future plans. The Caribbean is resilient. We have always come back
better, stronger and more passionate than ever. This time will be no
exception.”
