Honeymoon Packing Tips
Leave room for souvenirs. Pack your suitcase only 75% full — you'll want space for duty-free purchases, resort merchandise, and gifts.
Pack a day bag. Bring a small backpack or tote for day trips and excursions off-resort.
Split essentials. If traveling with checked bags, split key items between suitcases so you have basics if one bag is delayed.
Bring your marriage certificate. Many resorts offer honeymoon perks (champagne, room upgrades) when you show proof of recent marriage.
Check the dress code. Most Sandals restaurants require "resort evening wear" for dinner — no tank tops or swimwear.
Honeymoon Packing FAQs
What's the dress code at Sandals restaurants?+
Most Sandals dinner restaurants require "resort evening wear" — collared shirts and long pants for men (no shorts, tank tops, or swimwear), sundresses or dressy resort wear for women. Lunch and breakfast are casual. Bring one nicer outfit each for specialty restaurants.
Do I need reef-safe sunscreen for Caribbean Sandals resorts?+
Yes. Sandals resorts in Bonaire, parts of Mexico, and many Caribbean marine reserves require reef-safe sunscreen (no oxybenzone or octinoxate). Even where it isn't mandated, it's the responsible choice for coral health. Pack at least two bottles per person.
Should I bring my marriage certificate on my honeymoon?+
Yes — most Sandals properties offer honeymoon perks (welcome champagne, room blessing, sometimes a category upgrade) when you present proof of recent marriage at check-in. A photo of the certificate on your phone usually works if you forget the printed copy.
Can I drink the tap water at Sandals resorts?+
All Sandals resorts have potable tap water and filtration systems. Bottled water is also freely available in your room and at every bar. For sensitive stomachs, stick to bottled — but the tap is genuinely safe across the network.
What's the most commonly forgotten item on honeymoons?+
Phone chargers, prescription medications, and adapters (US plugs work in Jamaica, Bahamas, and Curaçao; most other Caribbean islands need adapters). Travel-document wise: passports needing 6+ months validity is the most common surprise rejection at check-in.
