Having recently picked up a whopping 11

awards from the World Travel Awards ceremony held in the Bahamas, the founder

and Chairman of Sandals Resorts International Gordon “Butch” Stewart is bullish

about what both he and his team have achieved.

Speaking with BUZZ recently, Stewart said: “Sandals has now become the ultimate 5-Star resort hotel. The team understands the product and the services we offer and aim to surpass expectations every time. What they have achieved is incredible. While I take a little credit, the majority goes to the team.”

Founded in 1981 in Montego Bay, Jamaica,

Sandals has gone on to become one of the world’s leading brands and a top hotel

group operating in the Caribbean winning major accolades and awards in

successive years.

Among the 11 awards picked up by Sandals at

the 27th Annual World Travel Awards Caribbean Gala Ceremony held at Sandals

Royal Bahamian, were: Caribbean’s Leading All Inclusive Family Resort,

Caribbean’s Leading Hotel Brand, and Caribbean Leading All-Inclusive Resort.

“While it is heartening and makes me feel

very proud to be up on stage receiving these prestigious awards, it is all due

to our team effort; from managers, wait staff, drivers, butlers everybody.” said

Sandals’ Chairman, Gordon “Butch” Stewart. “We have built a fabulous Caribbean

brand together; one the world has come to know for our impeccable service and

professionalism. We always aim to exceed our guests’ expectations.”

Next year marks a milestone for Sandals

when it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
