Celebrating real love stories is tradition at Sandals Resorts, and what better time to do so than the month dedicated to romance?

To share some of these real love stories, Sandals is excited to debut its exclusive docuseries; filmed in 2018, called My Heart & Sandals. A first for the brand, this series gives viewers an inside-look at the stories of multiple couples and the ways Sandals has been a part of their journey. 

The first episode, called “How Our Story Began,” showcases nine couples, some of which have been together for decades and others who have just started their love story. Regardless of the number of years shared, one common belief is certain — that love is all you need. Keep reading for more on what you can expect from the first episode!

In the spotlight 

The goal of this docuseries is to capture unique stories that explore love, life, and everything in between. Ranging from newlyweds to couples who have been married for 30+ years, “How Our Story Began” highlights a diverse set of real love stories. 

Couples shared in detail how they met, their secrets to maintaining a strong relationship (hint: unconditional love has a lot to do with it!), and why they chose — and continue to choose — Sandals for their romantic adventures together.

Destination: romance

When deciding on a location to film, the team at Sandals Resorts knew there was no better place than Sandals Montego Bay. Since it first opened in 1981 as the brand’s flagship resort, Sandals Montego Bay has been a pinnacle of innovation and romance. 

The Crystal Lagoon Swim-up Suites at Sandals Montego Bay are the perfect place to take in unmarred views of the Caribbean Sea.

Featuring 12 globally-inspired dining options, unparalleled accommodations that exude luxury, and a private, breathtaking stretch of white-sand beach, Sandals Montego Bay has continually evolved into the perfect paradise for two. 

Like any other Sandals resort, hospitality that fosters a home-away-from-home experience is also standard. Plus, its convenient location allows for Stay at 1, Play at 2 Program perks for double the romance at the neighboring Sandals Royal Caribbean! 

How much better can it (Sandals) get? I don’t know. We’re happy. Am I going to go somewhere else? No. We’re going to come back here. — Jack & Janet, 12X Returning Guests & Married at Sandals Montego Bay

In essence, it’s hard not to fall for Sandals Montego Bay. And what better place for couples to celebrate their real love stories than the resort where it all began? 

Because the journey from then to now is always worth telling

Whether it was love discovered through mutual friends or a whirlwind romance, the journey from the start of a relationship to present-day is one Sandals Resorts always wants to be a part of.  

Inspired by the ways in which these couples found love, Sandals wanted to share their stories with others as well. Whether you’re a couple with years of memories to tell or one captivated by a brand-new romance, these couples offer valuable insight on building a strong relationship for years of happiness together. 

It’s knowing that day to day, even if there’s a little bump in that road of the relationship, we’re going to come out of it. And we’re going to come out of it better and stronger. — Charles & Lois, 10X Returning Guests at Sandals Resorts

Great love stories don’t blossom overnight. They take time and require trust, patience, and unconditional love — and that’s exactly what each of these real love stories exemplify.
