Full breakdown of Royal Elite Vacation Club member benefits at Sandos Resorts: VIP access, premium dining, private beach, spa perks, and exclusive discounts.

Your promotional vacation does NOT include these benefits. You receive the standard retail all-inclusive package β the same product sold on Hotels.com and Expedia.
The benefits described on this page are what you would receive if you purchase a Royal Elite membership during the presentation. You are under no obligation to buy. Your discounted stay is guaranteed regardless of your decision.
