Jumby Bay and Carlisle Bay would have better snorkelling than Sandals. They would also be a little more private. Sandals has 3 other hotels right next to them although the beach is beautiful. There are always excursions too (Eli's eco tour) for snorkelling and a great day out.
Jumby Bay is not on mainland Antigua, its a short ferry ride away (5-10 minutes). Carlisle Bay is round the South of the island and with a taxi or rental car you can explore other places to eat easily. Both resorts are supposed to have great restaurants in case you didn’t want to venture out too much.
