Atlanta-based Pixie Honeymoons has been named one of the United States’ leading Sandals travel agencies after earning Sandals Resorts’ two highest partner credentials: Chairman’s Royal Club Platinum Elite status and Executive Preferred Agency designation, the company announced April 2. The dual recognition places the boutique agency among a small, select group of U.S. sellers cleared to deliver enhanced perks and priority service for honeymooners and couples booking stays at any of Sandals’ 17 Caribbean properties.
Owner Steve Griswold, who founded Pixie Honeymoons as a division of Pixie Vacations and has specialized in luxury Caribbean travel since 2010, said the designations unlock benefits for clients that are not available through standard booking channels. “Our Chairman’s Royal Club Platinum Elite status means we have access to exclusive pricing, room upgrades, and VIP concierge-level service that standard booking channels simply cannot offer,” Griswold said in the announcement. He has personally visited all 17 Sandals and Beaches resorts, including the most recent openings in St. Vincent and Curaçao, a hands-on familiarity the agency highlights when advising couples.
Sandals’ Chairman’s Royal Club is the resort operator’s premier recognition program for travel advisors; Platinum Elite signifies the top tier within that program. According to Sandals, agencies that reach this level are rewarded for sustained sales performance, client satisfaction and demonstrable resort expertise. Executive Preferred Agency status further grants priority room assignments, access to exclusive promotions and a dedicated resort liaison — advantages Pixie Honeymoons says it leverages to secure better rates, upgrades and on-resort support for clients.
Pixie Honeymoons touts more than 735 five-star client reviews and 16 years of continuous, full-time focus on Sandals and Beaches properties. The agency markets what it calls “concierge-level planning” at no additional cost, offering tailored itineraries, restaurant reservations, airport transfers and post-booking price monitoring to couples arranging honeymoons or other romantic getaways. Those services are presented as part of the agency’s pitch to couples seeking an experienced, specialist agent rather than booking directly through the resorts or mass-market channels.
Sandals Resorts operates a portfolio of adults-only properties across Caribbean destinations including Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent and Curaçao. Travel advisors awarded top-tier Sandals recognition generally receive early notification of new resort openings and access to select promotional rates, which agencies say can be passed along to clients or used to secure preferred room categories during high-demand travel periods.
Pixie Honeymoons is based in Atlanta and continues to position itself as a niche specialist focusing exclusively on Sandals and Beaches resort vacations for couples. The company’s announcement frames the new Sandals credentials as validation of its long-running specialization and as a selling point for couples seeking personalized planning and on-property advantages when booking Caribbean honeymoons. For more information, the agency lists its site, PixieHoneymoons.com, as the gateway for prospective clients.
