Sandals and Beaches Offers Hurricane Guarantee

Travelers who are a bit gun-shy about a Caribbean trip because of predictions about a busy 2007 hurricane season, take note: Sandals and Beaches resorts in the Caribbean will give you a free future vacation should your trip be interrupted by a hurricane.

The Blue Chip Hurricane Guarantee says that if a storm disrupts your vacation you'll get a free replacement trip of the same duration and room category of your original trip; the replacement trip must be booked within a year or your storm-interrupted trip.

Sandals and Beaches resorts have paid out an estimated $5.5 million worth of replacement trips since the guarantee was first offered in 1997. The all-inclusive resorts are located in Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, Turks & Caicos, and the Bahamas. For more information, call 800-SANDALS or 800-BEACHES.
