Traveler Review By: Anonymous from Michigan
Date of Visit: January 2004
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 stocked mini bar. The mini bar consisted of one coke, the jacuzzi did not exist and the pool was to be shared by 4 couples. Sandals insisted that we did not book that room even though we had the same sheet that matched up with the room name.
No free room service actually no room service. You can pay for a butler service if you want service.
Since they joined the two resorts just before we stayed there no where does it state that all activities are down the cliff. You must take a shuttle bus. I took the 3 hour ride from the airport and had no desire to ride round and round on a bus the rest of my vacation.
The beach what beach. You might get a few chairs. there.
Anyway no We will NEVER go there again and I do not recommend it. BUT I must say the food was good and lots of booze. Although on an island like that I was very surprised that they never had bananas they rand out on tuesday and we never saw them again. So no creme de banana liquor either.
Go figure.
Our room was NEVER vacummed it alwasy had sand on it and we never went to the beach.
