Sandals will not implement a fuel surcharge in January as previously announced. Chairman Gordon “Butch” Stewart stated ”No one disputes the very real challenge of meeting escalating energy costs, but we respect and highly value the opinion of our travel partners who are on the consumer front lines. We always want to do what is in their best interest and therefore after much discussion with them, we feel that now is not the time to enact this new policy.”
