Rivage Travel Earns 2026 Sandals Chairman's Royal Club Diamond Elite Status

Rivage Travel, a luxury travel consultancy based in Atlanta, has once again achieved the prestigious Sandals Chairman's Royal Club Diamond Elite designation for the year 2026. This milestone marks the fourth consecutive year that Rivage Travel has maintained this elite status, which is awarded to select travel advisors based on stringent performance metrics, including the ability to generate significant booking revenue.

Founded by Jonathan and Angela Patton, Rivage Travel has established itself as a specialist in Sandals and Beaches Resorts, successfully ranking among the top 1% of all Sandals travel advisors in the United States. Their efforts were recently recognized when they were named the Top Sandals US agency at the STAR Awards held in Saint Vincent.

Achieving Diamond Elite status requires a minimum annual room revenue of $2.4 million, making it one of the most prestigious recognitions within the travel advisor community. Less than 1% of travel advisors in the United States hold this distinction, underscoring the significance of Rivage Travel's accomplishment. Jonathan Patton expressed gratitude for this honor, emphasizing the importance of client trust and the deep expertise Rivage Travel offers in each booking.

A Unique Client Experience with APEX

Central to Rivage Travel's success is its proprietary post-booking oversight system known as APEX, developed by Best Caribbean Resorts, a platform exclusively owned by Rivage Travel. This innovative system actively monitors bookings and automatically adjusts them to secure better promotions when available, greatly enhancing the client's experience and ensuring maximum value from their investment.

Unlike many travel advisors who may reactively handle bookings after they’re confirmed, Rivage Travel offers ongoing oversight throughout the reservation lifecycle, further solidifying their role as dedicated advocates for their clients. This proactive approach differentiates them within the industry and contributes significantly to their sustained success.

In-Depth Knowledge Across Resorts

Both Jonathan and Angela Patton have personally visited every Sandals and Beaches resort, gaining firsthand experience that enables them to make informed, customized recommendations to clients. This extensive knowledge not only enhances the overall booking process but also ensures that clients receive insights tailored to their unique preferences and travel needs.

Additionally, Rivage Travel has created a comprehensive guide to help clients identify qualified Sandals travel advisors. This resource outlines what differentiates top advisors from generalists in the industry and explains how APEX helps protect client bookings after confirmation, ensuring peace of mind from initial booking all the way through to check-in.
