Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the U.S. summer travel season — and this year it lands just six days before a hard deadline. On Saturday, May 31, 2026, two of the most valuable Sandals and Beaches booking perks of the year quietly expire: the brand’s Travel Advisor Appreciation Month bonus and the Beaches Treasure Beach Village grand-opening offer. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to lock in a summer Caribbean vacation, this is the week it matters most.

Here’s the part travelers miss: not everything ends May 31. The headline Sandals Summer Sale keeps running for June–September travel. So the real question over Memorial Day weekend isn’t “is there a sale?” — it’s “which perks disappear at the end of the month, and which ones can wait?” Below is exactly what’s closing, what’s continuing, and where the value actually is this summer.

What Expires May 31, 2026

Two offers have a firm May 31 cutoff, and both stack on top of the regular Summer Sale — which is why this is the week to book rather than the week to browse.

  • Sandals & Beaches Travel Advisor Appreciation Month bonus. Running May 1–31, 2026, this bonus adds extra savings on new reservations of six nights or longer booked through a certified Sandals/Beaches travel advisor — up to $150 on Butler Suites, $100 on Club and Concierge categories, and $30 on Luxury and Deluxe rooms. It’s an advisor-booked bonus, so it stacks on top of whatever Summer Sale pricing you already qualify for. It ends with the calendar month.
  • Beaches Treasure Beach Village grand-opening offer. To celebrate the May debut of its $150 million all-suite village on Grace Bay, Beaches Turks & Caicos is offering up to $500 off plus a $135-per-child credit on select Treasure Beach Village stays. The catch: you must book by May 31, 2026 — though travel can be any time after. We covered the grand opening in detail in our Treasure Beach Village debut report.

What’s Still Running for June Travel

If you can’t pull the trigger this week, the core summer savings don’t vanish on June 1. Here’s what continues:

  • The Sandals Summer Sale — up to $1,500 off the room and up to $750 in air credit, for travel June 1 through September 30, 2026. This is the season’s headline offer and it’s live now on the Sandals Summer Sale page. Every open Sandals resort is eligible. (Beaches runs its own family-focused summer savings on the Beaches offers page.)
  • Sandals 777 and Beaches 777 — seven select suites at an extra 7% off, refreshed every Monday. Because the list rotates weekly, the specific suites on sale today (Memorial Day) won’t be the same ones next week. See this week’s lists on the Sandals 777 page and the Beaches 777 page (our plain-English breakdown of how 777 works lives on our Sandals 777 guide).

In short: the Summer Sale and 777 deals continue into June, but the advisor bonus and the Beaches Treasure Beach offer end May 31. Booking before Saturday is how you keep the full stack instead of just the base sale.

Which Sandals Resorts the Summer Sale Actually Applies To This Year

One important wrinkle for summer 2026: three Sandals Jamaica resorts are closed. Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, and Sandals South Coast are down for the brand’s $200 million Sandals 2.0 transformation, with South Coast scheduled to reopen November 18, 2026 and Montego Bay and Royal Caribbean on December 18, 2026. None of them are bookable for summer travel. (We break down exactly what’s changing in our Inside Sandals 2.0 deep dive.)

That means the open Sandals resorts in Jamaica this summer are Sandals Dunn’s River, Sandals Ochi, Sandals Negril, and Sandals Royal Plantation — and the newest of them, Sandals Dunn’s River, just turned three over Memorial Day weekend. Beyond Jamaica, the Summer Sale applies across the rest of the portfolio: all three Saint Lucia resorts, Sandals Grande Antigua, Sandals Grenada, both Barbados resorts, and both Bahamas resorts. If your heart was set on Montego Bay, this is the summer to either pick a sister property or plan for a late-2026/2027 stay once Sandals 2.0 reopens.

Steve’s Expert Take

I’m a Sandals & Beaches Chairman’s Royal Club Platinum Elite advisor, I’ve personally visited all 17 Sandals and Beaches resorts, and after 15+ years booking these properties I can tell you Memorial Day is consistently one of the two or three biggest summer-booking weekends of the year. The mistake I watch people make is treating the May 31 date as a “the sale is ending, panic” moment. It isn’t — the Summer Sale rolls on. What actually ends May 31 is the extra layer: the advisor bonus (worth up to $150 a booking on suite categories) and the Beaches Treasure Beach grand-opening offer. Those are the perks you lose by waiting.

So my advice this week is simple. If you already know your dates and your resort, book by Saturday and capture the full stack. If you’re a family eyeing the brand-new Treasure Beach Village suites at Beaches Turks & Caicos, book by Saturday — that $500 + $135-per-child offer is a grand-opening promotion and grand-opening promotions don’t come back. And if you’re still deciding, you can move in June without losing the headline Summer Sale; you’ll just leave the bonus on the table. Either way, the value is real, and a five-minute quote tells you exactly what each option saves.
