Review: Best Place we've ever been
 Royal Plantation - Ocho Rios: (Jamaica)

My husband and I have been married two years now, but we still remember our honeymoon at Beaches Royal Plantation like it was yesterday. We've never been somewhere so beautiful with so many nice people. Anything we needed they were there for us. We highly recommend staying here whether it be a ...

Review: Sandals Dunns River Is Amazing!
 Sandals - Dunn's River: (Jamaica)
|
We went to Sandals Dunns River for 8 days in June 2004 for our honeymoon and we loved absolutely every last minute of it. The resort is heaven, the room (a Grande Luxe Oceanview) was great, the pool (largest in Jamaica) was incredible, and the staff was beyond helpful. But anyone can gush about ...

Review: A place to remember
 Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa: (Jamaica)
|
It is a difficult place to fault. The food was great the accommodations clean, spacious and quiet. The staff were courteous and in most cases, no more than that. If you do not wish to chill out, don’t go. The nightlife is more or less non existent and everyone seems to go to bed no later than 2300 ...

Review: A Great Vacation
 Sandals - Grande St. Lucian: (St. Lucia)
|
We had a great time in St Lucia and enjoyed our stay at the Grande St Lucian. We chose the all inclusive package and felt we got our monies worth. It was nice to go and eat,drink and do activities without pulling out your wallet every time. The food was plentiful and filling. The choices were ...

Review: Great Experience
 Sandals Grande Ocho Rios: (Jamaica)
|
Let me start off by saying that if you have never done all inclusive, and are debating on whether or not to do that, just do it, especially for a honeymoon. Here at Ocho Rios, they have everything you need. I never picked up my wallet the entire stay.
As for the resort itself, it was wonderful ...

Review: Fantastic Vacation
 Sandals Grande Ocho Rios: (Jamaica)
|
We traveled to wonderful JA in December 06. The trip to the resort is long, about 2 1/2 hours. The roads are bumpy but you stop half way for a rest. You have the option to purchase food and drink but I recommend bringing some with you because this could be expensive. Check in was a breeze. We ...

Review: Beware of Sand Fleas - but a great place
 Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa: (Bahamas)
|
The facilities were great and the restaurants even better. There is a private island off shore for more privacy. Lots to do - had a great holiday ... except for the sand fleas on the beach. They don't tell you, but take bug spray with you. It took 3 weeks for my bites to stop itching ...

Review: Spoiled Rotten!
 Sandals Halcyon St. Lucia: (St. Lucia)
|
I'm not sure how my husband and I will ever be able to stay at any other all-inclusive resorts. I only regret that Sandals doesn't have property in the Yucatan Penninsula because that is where we hope to go next and I doubt anything will compare to the experience of Sandals. First off, the ...

Review: St. Lucia Grande Sandal
 Sandals - Grande St. Lucian: (St. Lucia)
|
Stymied Staff I would imagine Sandals management had no choice but to cap the tipping to avoid corruption. All inclusive means the local help is unable to work extra hard and earn additional monies through tips. Convenient for those that don’t want to carry a wad of singles in their shoe but ...

Review: never again
 Sandals Grande Ocho Rios: (Jamaica)

the date we were there was january 24 thru the 31 of 2005 BUT there was no 2005 for me to select.
Ok, shall I start with false advertizing and misrepresentation? The sheet and information we were given to select our room is false. we selected a villa with private pool and jacuzzi, including ...

Review: Disappointing experience
 Sandals Regency St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa: (St. Lucia)
|
I had high expectations for Sandals Regency in St. Lucia, but was greatly disappointed in the overall experience. Upon arrival at the airport I found the Sandals 'stand' outside by the taxis. I was packed into a little van/bus and had the worst ride of my life in this public transportation van. One ...

Review: Big dissapointment!!
 Sandals Regency St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa: (St. Lucia)
|
We just spent a week at this Sandal's and must say we were dissapointed. First let me point out that St Lucia is a beautiful island, it will leave you breathless. Do try the Gondola tour in the Rain Forest it is worth every penny.
If your stomach is a bit queasy the 1 hour ride from the ...

Review: Not Quite as Expected
 Sandals Antigua Resort: (Antigua)

I have heard for years that Sandals quality is phenomenal and was really looking forward to finally getting to stay at one. I thought this property was gorgeous. The beach was pristine and the overall ambiance was everything we expected. However, the service was quite lacking which was a huge ...

Review: Great staff, best dive. Bad food. Room has ants, too noisy.
 Sandals Grande Ocho Rios: (Jamaica)
|
When reading this review, please take into consideration that 1. We stayed at the Oceanfront rooms on the Riviera side 2. I am rather spoiled and have high expectations of food and services.
Bottom line: Sandals Ocho Rios is not worth the money you’d have to pay, for the same price we pay ...

Review: Sandals Antigua: veiled mediocrity at a 5-star price
 Sandals Antigua Resort: (Antigua)
|
My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon at Sandals “Grande” Antigua (April 2007) and, believe me, there is nothing grand about it. I will not go on and on but please DO NOT book your vacation here. The way I describe this resort is “veiled mediocrity”. Their grounds and their website are ...

Review: Honeymoon Trip
 Sandals - Grande St. Lucian: (St. Lucia)

We were so excited to finally go on our honeymoon. After months of planning and paying almost $7,000 for a 10 night stay at the St. Grand Lucian we were very dissapointed with our trip. The beach was very small, the local vendors constantly harassed the guests to but shells or "drugs", the ...

Review: Antigua needs help
 Sandals Antigua Resort: (Antigua)

We stayed at Sandals and other resorts in the Caribbean so this is not our first stay at an all inclusive resort. We booked this trip to the Sandals in Antigua for seven days. The new Mediterranean Village, our room, the views, the grounds, the pool and the beach area are beautiful.

Review: Stay Somewhere Else!!
 Sandals - Grande St. Lucian: (St. Lucia)
|
My wife and I decided to do a destination wedding in St Lucia. We went for one of the top of the line rooms, what they call a Rotundo, complete with a pool you can jump into from the living room, and a personal butler. The price was well over $1,000 per night, but was SUPPOSED to be all inclusive ...
