Sandals Resorts is making it easier for couples to give the ultimate gift—an unforgettable Caribbean vacation. With the launch of its “Hint the Caribbean” campaign, Sandals is helping couples drop hints about the gift they truly want this year: an all-inclusive getaway to one of the resort’s stunning properties across the Caribbean. Through a new and playful DIY Hinting Toolkit, Sandals offers couples a creative, stress-free way to nudge their partners toward booking the vacation of their dreams.
The initiative is based on survey data from the Sandals Institute of Romance, which reveals that 90% of partners struggle with gift-giving. By offering a fun and thoughtful way to hint at a vacation wish, Sandals aims to make the gift-giving process easier and more meaningful this holiday season.

The Struggle of Gift-Giving: A Playful Solution from Sandals Resorts
Gift-giving can often be a source of stress during the holidays, with many partners finding it difficult to choose a gift that truly resonates. According to Sandals’ recent survey, 72% of respondents admit to being disappointed by a holiday gift from their partner, and nearly half don’t even remember the gifts they received in previous years. These findings highlight the common challenge of finding meaningful gifts that go beyond material possessions.

Sandals Resorts is offering a solution to this issue with its “Hint the Caribbean” toolkit. This free downloadable toolkit allows couples to subtly suggest their holiday wish for a luxury Caribbean vacation, eliminating the guesswork from gift-giving. By using fun and interactive elements such as signature Caribbean recipes, a curated playlist, and other tropical surprises, couples can create an atmosphere that guides their partner toward the perfect holiday gift.
The campaign takes inspiration from the fact that 42% of survey respondents shared that their most cherished relationship memories are rooted in shared experiences rather than physical gifts. Sandals Resorts believes that a vacation provides not only relaxation and adventure but also the chance to create lasting memories together, making it the perfect gift.

How the Hinting Toolkit Works
The DIY Hinting Toolkit is designed to make hinting both easy and enjoyable. Couples can download the kit, which includes various creative elements to help them subtly share their travel wishes. Among the contents are recipes for Sandals’ signature jerk chicken and rum cocktails, a lively Caribbean playlist, and even a postcard from a dreamy island destination. These playful items make it impossible for their partner to miss the hint about their desire for a romantic Caribbean escape.
Each download of the toolkit automatically enters couples into a contest for a chance to win a four-night stay at any Sandals resort. This not only helps couples express their desires but also offers a chance for the ultimate holiday gift: a getaway to one of Sandals’ 17 luxury resorts in the Caribbean.
