HI! WE’RE JONATHAN & ANGELA

Sandals #1 US Travel Agency

Jonathan and Angela Sandals Specialists CRC

Recognized by Sandals at the STAR Awards as the Top Sandals Travel Agency – USA, Rivage Travel is ranked among the top 1% of advisors nationwide. Best Caribbean Resorts was created by the founders of Rivage Travel to share our 15+ years of on-property Sandals and Beaches expertise.

Every guide, comparison, and room-level review is based on firsthand stays across every resort, with a focus on the details that most don’t see until it’s too late. We want you to understand the differences in room locations, village layouts, beach conditions, and how those choices impact your experience.

That same depth of knowledge is what places Rivage Travel among the top 1% of Sandals advisors in the United States, backed by multi-year recognition with the Sandals Chairman’s Royal Club Diamond Elite designation.

If the level of detail here is helpful, it reflects the same firsthand expertise behind every Rivage Travel client booking. From the initial planning stage through the travel experience itself, we take the time to get to know you and get it right.

Why Choose Best Caribbean Resorts for Your Vacation

For Angela and me, success comes from a simple philosophy: we create travel experiences that exceed expectations by bringing together our insider knowledge with personalized service and innovative support tools, like Apex, our proprietary Price Protection System.

Having personally visited every Sandals resort across the Caribbean, we possess the firsthand experience necessary to match you with the perfect destination and accommodations for your unique interests and budget.

Our Diamond Elite status with Sandals Resorts represents the highest level of expertise in luxury all-inclusive travel planning for both Sandals and Beaches resorts, providing you with exclusive access to amenities, upgrades, and experiences unavailable through standard booking channels. 

Certified Sandals Wedding Specialists

Our Sandals destination wedding expertise is backed by a specialized certification and years of hands-on experience planning celebrations throughout the Caribbean.

We understand the unique requirements of destination weddings, from legal documentation and marriage license procedures to coordinating guest accommodations and managing complex logistics across multiple time zones.

As Sandals certified wedding specialists, we have direct access to dedicated on-site wedding planners at each resort, and will handle the coordination between your pre-arrival planning and on-location execution.

This partnership approach eliminates common destination wedding challenges where we will be your single point of contact throughout the planning process.

Our honeymoon planning expertise extends beyond accommodations and travel logistics. We understand that honeymoons require a different approach than standard vacations, and our extensive destination knowledge allows us to recommend locations that are fully aligned with your interests and desires.

Whether you’re looking for an overwater bungalow experience along the shores of Jamaica or want to explore the mountains and secluded coves of Saint Lucia, we match you with the perfect honeymoon destination.

Anniversary Celebrations & Vow Renewal Ceremonies

Milestone anniversaries deserve to be celebrated, and we specialize in creating personalized travel experiences that honor your journey together while creating new memories for your future.

Best yet! If you’re traveling to a Sandals resort +/- 30 days of your anniversary, we’ll book you into the free night promotion on a 7 night stay in a Sandals Butler or Club level room category.

A large, metallic sculpture in the shape of a heart rises from a shallow water feature, surrounded by smooth white pebbles and lush tropical plants, set against a backdrop of a modern building and a cloudy sky.

Every Wednesday, Sandals Resorts releases one of its most popular promotions, known as the 777 Deals. The name comes from the format: seven percent off, seven room categories, at seven resorts — available for just seven days or until the inventory is booked out.

For our clients who are flexible and know where to look, it’s one of the best ways to secure extra savings on luxury, all-inclusive stays across the Caribbean.

Because these deals are rotating and availability is limited, when you work with a Sandals specialist who knows the promotions (like us!), we’ll monitor new offers, alert you if the room becomes available, and adjust your booking if better pricing comes along.

Best of all, there’s no planning fee for that service, making it an easy way to maximize savings while reducing the stress of chasing weekly promotions.

 

For our clients, the Sandals 777 Deals are a smart strategy for flexible travelers who want the same luxury experience but at a slightly lower price point.

If you know when to look, what to book, and how to combine promotions, the savings can really add up, and we’re here to help you find them!

I can't recommend Jonathan at Rivage Travel highly enough! From planning our very first Sandals vacation to Jamaica this past February to helping us book our upcoming trip to Grenada, Jonathan has been exceptional every step of the way. He spent an incredible amount of time with us, patiently answering questions, comparing options, and making multiple changes to our reservations until everything was exactly how we wanted it. What truly sets Jonathan apart is that he doesn't just book vacations—he shares his own firsthand experiences. His personal recommendations, photos, and videos gave us a realistic view of each destination and ultimately gave us the confidence to book our first trip to Jamaica. It exceeded every expectation, and because of his guidance, we're excited to head to Grenada next. Jonathan's knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine passion for travel make the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for and provides honest advice based on real-world experience, not just brochures or websites. I've been so impressed with the level of service I've received that I've recommended Jonathan to friends, family, and anyone looking to plan a vacation. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your trip unforgettable, Jonathan at Rivage Travel is the person to call. Thank you again, Jonathan, we're already looking forward to planning our next adventure with you!

Jonathan at Rivage Travel handled our Sandals Grenada trip and was responsive throughout. Every question got a prompt answer, the booking details were right, and he made the planning easy from start to finish. Already working with him on our next trip. Very good grasp on each location, room classification, first hand knowledge.

Our experience with Rivage Travel was exceptional from the beginning. Jonathan handled all questions and concerns in an extremely timely manner. We had a flight opportunity arise on the 4th of July we wanted to take advantage of and we e-mailed Jonathan knowing (thinking) we would not be able to speak with him until the following Monday. However, he got back to us on the 4th in under an hour and booked everything. While on property we had a question and e-mailed him after 9pm to which he responded almost immediately. We have already booked our return trip with him and would strongly recommend anyone considering a Beaches or Sandals resort to reach out to Rivage Travel.

I had a wonderful experience working with Jonathan to plan our honeymoon at Sandals Grande St. Lucian. During the planning process, I was also in the middle of wedding planning and finishing my doctoral degree, so life was incredibly busy and stressful. Jonathan made the entire planning process seamless, easy, and completely stress-free. He was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Knowing we could trust him with our travel plans gave us such peace of mind during a hectic season of life. He listened to our preferences and made spot-on recommendations for excursions and how to spend our time. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone planning a vacation or honeymoon. We are so grateful for his help

As a self-admitted helicopter parent, I may have been slightly more involved in my daughter and son-in-law’s honeymoon planning than most fathers. I wanted to surprise them by covering a few excursions and resort experiences, so I ended up working with Jonathan behind the scenes while they handled the main planning themselves. Jonathan, owner of Rivage Travel, was outstanding from start to finish. His knowledge of Sandals Grande St. Lucian and the Sandals programs was incredible, and he added real value with suggestions they probably would never have considered on their own, many of which became highlights of the trip. Everything went perfectly: flights, transfers, reservations, room selection, excursions, and follow-up communication. Most importantly, my daughter and son-in-law came back saying it was an amazing, completely stress-free honeymoon. Jonathan was easy to talk to, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Rivage Travel.

Jonathan did an incredible job of taking care of all our needs on our recent trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos. He brings a tremendous amount of expertise of the properties and when you match that with his responsiveness, it’s makes for a great customer experience. Our trip involved multiple changes that involved air changes, room selection, and some medical assistance needed and Jonathan was there to help us all along the way with rapid changes which made our trip so much more enjoyable. When you combine that with his standing with the resort, we took advantage of many nice perks that he orchestrated. My wife and I commented a few times, “why wouldn’t everyone use the services Rivage Travel provides when traveling to a Sandals or Beaches property?” We have 2 more trips planned to Sandals and have assigned him as our agent to take advantage of his expertise. In summary, super nice guy…..responsive…….and able to make things happen when needed.

Jonathan was absolutely fantastic! He was able to help me and my family book the perfect beach front room at Beaches Turks and Caicos and get us tickets to the Sesame Street Breakfast! He was able to offer valuable tips and advice to make our family vacation unforgettable! As a testament to Jonathan's dedication, when we accidentally left Beaches without getting our family photos taken by the resort photographer, he personally went to the management at the resort the next time he was at Beaches and got us our photos! I can't say enough good things about Jonathan and Rivage Travel and would recommend them without reservation! Thanks for everything Jonathan!

Jonathan at Rivage was outstanding! We had a group of 10 travelers and he took care of all the details for us for all the rooms and arrangements, and went out of his way to answer all our questions and special asks of the resort (around diving, group dining, etc). He was always quick to respond and reached out proactively to remind us of to-do and fun items. His insider knowledge from having been at the resort personally was also helpful! He made our trip easy and stress free. 100% recommend and we will definitely use Rivage again for any other Sandals/Beaches vacations.
