Sandals' Executive Chairman, Adam Stewart, has gifted the almost 100 Olympians from Caribbean islands the brand operates from complimentary vacation stays in recognition of their performances during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Olympians who won medals will each receive one complimentary no-limit on nights’ stay, in the highest room category at any Sandals or Beaches resort across the region complete with luxury BMW transfers from their home, if applicable, to the resort of choice.
All athletes who represented their country in the Olympics in any event will be receiving luxury-included four-night vacations at a Sandals Resort in their home island. Athletes from the Saint Vincent contingent will be able to stay at the resort in Saint Lucia as the Beaches Saint Vincent is not yet open.
Stewart first gifted Jamaica’s gold-medal-winning trio of Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson for their victory in the women's 100M finals, declaring on social media, “the world’s best deserve the world’s best vacations!”
He later extended similar complimentary no-limit stays to all subsequent medal winners from Jamaica, the Bahamas and Grenada and is now further extending the offer to all Tokyo Olympics athletes from Jamaica, Grenada, The Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and Antigua.
Stewart commented, "It takes a great amount of sacrifice, hard work, dedication and consistency to even make it to the Olympics. Our Caribbean athletes have shown admirable grit, tenacity and a fighting spirit and as a Caribbean brand, entirely committed to the development of the region and showcasing our regional talent, we are beyond proud of every single athlete who went out there to represent their country."
He continued, “I’ve been saying it throughout the games and I will continue to say it, ‘the world’s best deserve the world’s best’ and we cannot wait to roll out our red carpet for all our Olympians when their schedules allow.”
