The Tranquility Soaking Tub is divine, and just sitting out on the balcony or standing on the edge looking out into the sea is calming. . It’s private, peaceful, and romantic. Now, let’s talk service: the butler team is a game-changer.

It’s located on the incredible island of St. Lucia, which has been called Little Hawaii for its natural beauty; it’s set on a peninsula along a beautiful beach with calm, clear water that’s perfect for watersports; it has romantic overwater bungalows and beachfront Rondoval suites; you can golf here; and you also get access to two other Sandals resorts on the island. In this Sandals Grande St. Lucian review, we’ll tell you why we love it and what the drawbacks are (spoiler: there aren’t many). Getting to Sandals Grande St. Lucian This is perhaps the only negative we can find about this resort—it’s 90 minutes from the airport. The roads are good but winding. We booked alternative transportation because we tend to get motion sickness, and we really enjoyed the ferry ride to the resort and the helicopter back to the airport. Both are great ways to see the island. However, most people find the complimentary transportation from Sandals to be fine. Rooms and Suites at Sandals Grande St. Lucian The most famous suites here are the overwater bungalows, so we’ll give them their own section. Overwater Bungalows at Sandals Grande St. Lucian These romantic suites are set over the Caribbean and give you direct access to the water from extended sun decks.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a beautiful and peaceful island, and this resort really shines. The resort is 40 minutes from the airport via Sandals’ complimentary transportation. If you get motion sickness, take a Dramamine before your flight lands. Then, on the way to the resort, you want to sit on the left side of the vehicle. This way you can see the horizon and watch the beautiful views of the island as you make your way to the resort. If you book a Butler suite, you will have the option of taking the ferry.

Sandals Royal Plantation Location Sandals Royal Plantation is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. It is about 90 minutes from the main airport in Montego Bay, but there is a closer airport in Ocho Rios. While there aren’t as many international flights to this airport, that is changing. There are now nonstop weekly flights from Miami to the Ocho Rios airport, which is 20 minutes from the resort. Regardless of which airport you use, you’ll get a complimentary round-trip transfer.

Sandals South Coast has lushly landscaped grounds and a secluded feel, making it feel romantic and “away from it all. ” The beach here is the best of any Sandals resort in Jamaica, in our opinion—a 2-mile-long stretch of soft white sand along calm turquoise water, and plenty of lounge chairs to relax in.

We’ve visited all the Sandals resorts and we liked both of these locations, but our favorite would be Sandals Negril. However, they both have pros and cons. Sandals Negril was our favorite Sandals in Jamaica (there are 7) until Sandals Dunn’s River opened; it has a gorgeous beach and great sunsets, as well as access to nearby Beaches Negril. Sandals Montego Bay has lots to do plus access to Sandals Royal Caribbean; it’s very close to the airport so there can be some noise, but you get to start your vacation more quickly. This article will compare Sandals Negril and Montego Bay so you can decide which is best for you. Sandals Negril Pros and Cons               Pros: Gorgeous beach with white sand and clear, calm turquoise water Most rooms are beachfront and you can stay just steps from the sand Amazing sunset views Great beachfront restaurants and bars too Laidback vibe Access to Beaches Negril Cons: The drive from the airport is about an hour and a half The beach isn’t private, so there are vendors Sandals Negril: Our Opinion Sandals Negril is our second-favorite Sandals in Jamaica. We love the setting on world-famous Seven Mile Beach, which is really beautiful. During our visit we loved being able to snorkel right off the beach, and we saw some incredible sunsets.

It features premium and luxury level rooms, which are the entry level accommodations at Sandals, while Sandals Royal Barbados only has the higher priced club and butler level rooms and suites.

Located on Seven Mile Beach, Sandals Negril is in a perfect location to view sunsets from the western shore. Booking, Flying, Arriving Booking direct through Sandals with flight options included has always been my preferred way to book. The Sandals Resort website is very easy to use and has a great layout for selecting the best room option for you and your significant other. I’ve found that Sandals often offers discounts seasonally that can impact the prices significantly; I try to always book with a discount to keep the budget in line- why not save a few dollars?   We flew into Sangster airport in Jamaica, which is about 90 minutes away from Sandals Negril, which is daunting after a long flight, however, Sandals has a specific lounge for arrivals and we were transported quickly and easily by shuttle to the resort.  The roads are well-maintained and pretty clear after you get through Montego Bay. On arrival, check-in was a breeze, we were kindly escorted to our room. The Longshore Beachfront Grande Luxe Club Level Room with a balcony tranquility soaking tub. This room was perfect for us and fit within budget at less than 6000 USD in total for the full week!

Why we love Sandals Royal Caribbean Located close to the airport Great variety of food Friendly and attentive service Beautiful beach resort perfect for relaxation Why some people do not like Sandals Royal Caribbean It's too quiet There is jet noise from the airport Located in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Sandals Royal Caribbean is a great choice for couples who want both relaxation and activity on their beach vacation. It’s a smaller resort with a mellow vibe, but you also have access to everything at nearby Sandals Montego Bay, which is more lively. Since it is smaller, people feel more friendly and the staff feel more attentive to each guest. Even after a short conversation, they seem to remember me, making me feel at home. There’s also a really cool private island here, with beaches, a pool with a swim-up bar, an excellent Thai restaurant, and luxurious overwater bungalows. And I can't go without mentioning the Indian restaurant, Bombay, which always leaves me craving the Goan Shrimp Curry. We talk more about the food here. We also love the variety of rooms, with even the most affordable rooms being high quality. More on the rooms here. Arriving at Sandals Royal Caribbean Since this is one of the closest Sandals to the airport, it’s super easy to get here.

We’ve been to every Sandals resort and definitely have our own favorites. Our top pick used to be Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas, but it is currently being renovated into a Beaches resort. Here are the Sandals resorts with the best beaches, in our opinion and many others’. Sandals Barbados and Royal Barbados Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados are situated along the picturesque Dover Beach in the St. Lawrence Gap area, which is renowned for its soft white sands and tranquil turquoise waters.  When you think of a perfect Caribbean beach, this is what I The beach is fantastic, with calm and clear waters, perfect for swimming and water sports like paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling.   As with all beaches in Barbados, Dover Beach is public, which means vendors will be passing by trying to sell their goods, and people with jetskis and excursion options will be on the beach as well. The main complaint about Sandals Barbados is that there are a small number of beach chairs compared to the number of guests, making it almost impossible to get beach chairs without getting up early or having a butler. Sandals Grande St. Lucian, St. Lucia Set along peaceful Rodney Bay, the beach at Sandals Grande St. Lucian is a mile long and offers calm, clear waters... --- ### Pink Gin Oceanfront Honeymoon Penthouse Club Level Room Review - Published: 2025-03-22 - Modified: 2025-03-22 - URL: https://alwaysallinclusive.com/pink-gin-oceanfront-honeymoon-penthouse-club-level-room-review/ - Categories: Sandals Sandals Grenada is one of our favorite resorts and if you want a room near the beach then the Pink Gin building is going to be your best bet. The Pink Gin building is located right on the beach with several options for rooms. The Pink Gin Oceanfront Honeymoon Penthouse Club Level Room (HPO) is on the top floor with amazing views. Pink Gin Oceanfront Honeymoon Penthouse Club Level Room Tucked away on the top floor of the Pink Gin Block, this oceanfront penthouse retreat is designed with romance in mind — ideal for honeymooners or couples seeking a peaceful, elevated escape. In the room there is a king-size mahogany bed beneath vaulted ceilings, with marble floors and a contemporary design that reflects the laid-back elegance of Grenada. The best feature of the room in our opinion is the balcony with panoramic ocean views. While the balcony is fairly small it is big enough to provide a place to relax, unwind and take in the view of the water with the sound of the waves below. There is also a smart TV and in-room dining table perfect for a private breakfast with a view. Since this is a club level room it includes room service that is perfect for meals in the comfort of your room. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead and there is not a bathtub in this room.

You can wander the lushly landscaped grounds and go for long stretches of time without seeing anyone else. And it’s always easy to get a chair on the beautiful white-sand beach.

The island is so lush and beautiful, and Regency La Toc really makes the most of that with a hillside setting and a gorgeous beach. In fact, Sandals Regency La Toc was our favorite of the three Sandals resorts in St. Lucia. While we enjoyed our stays at all of the resorts, we especially loved the ambiance, the beach, and the pools at Regency La Toc. (FYI, when you stay here, you also get access via a free shuttle to the other two resorts, Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Halcyon Beach, so you’ll be able to enjoy them as well. ) Sandals Regency La Toc Promotions Make sure to check current specials before booking your stay at Sandals.

Current Promotions We also liked that Sandals Regency La Toc is the most affordable Sandals in St. Lucia. Additionally, we found the service here to be really good—very warm and friendly, and great drink service on the beach and by the pools. Some people don’t like La Toc because of its size—it is the largest of the three resorts, and is very spread out so there is a lot of walking. It’s also quite hilly so it’s not great for anyone with mobility issues. However, there are golf carts and shuttles that you can catch a... --- ### Sandals Negril Excursions - Published: 2025-02-20 - Modified: 2025-02-20 - URL: https://alwaysallinclusive.com/sandals-negril-excursions/ - Categories: Sandals A laidback beach-lover’s paradise, Sandals Negril offers great snorkeling from the shore among its included onsite activities.

Sandals Negril excursions reviews mention Rick’s Café, the One Love Bus Bar Crawl, YS Falls, Mayfield Falls, Negril Blue Hole Mineral Springs, the Zimbali Cooking School, the Appleton Estate rum tour, deep sea fishing, and catamaran cruises among popular recommendations. We loved going to Rick’s Café, where you can see daredevils jumping off high cliffs as well as have a drink and something to eat. There are even lower cliffs that you can try jumping off if you want to. Dunn’s River Falls is about 3 ½ hours away so we don’t recommend taking excursions there from Sandals Negril. YS Falls and Mayfield Falls are good alternatives.

You can book them through Sandals, however, either on the website after you make your reservation or at the resort once you’ve arrived. We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, as the popular excursions do tend to fill up. Sandals Montego Bay excursions reviews by previous guests say that their favorites were the ziplining, catamaran snorkel tour, Rose Hall tour, ATV tour, Luminous Lagoon, bamboo river rafting, andAppleton Estate rum tour. We don’t recommend trying to do excursions to attractions near Ocho Rios, such as Dunn’s River Falls, from Sandals Montego Bay because they are a couple of hours away. Here is a list of Sandals Montego Bay excursions: Treetop Zipline and River Tubing Wonders of Negril Beach Break Bob Marley Culture and Dunn’s River Fall Experience Bamboo River Rafting and Horseback Riding ATV, Zipline and Bamboo Ocean Rafting Experience Good Hope Zipline, Tubing, and Rafting Experience Reggae Catamaran and Snorkeling Cruise Montego Bay Dunn’s River Catamaran Cruise Black River, YS Falls & Appleton Rum Experience Bamboo River... --- ### Sandals Ochi Excursions - Published: 2025-02-18 - Modified: 2025-03-23 - URL: https://alwaysallinclusive.com/sandals-ochi-excursions/ - Categories: Sandals One of the seven adults-only all-inclusive Sandals resorts in Jamaica, Sandals Ochi is not only the largest but also the most affordable of all the Sandals resorts.

At the moment, the Sandals website doesn't make this clear. In the FAQs, the website says "Because we wanted to make your vacation as romantic and relaxing as possible, only couples may stay at Sandals. " You will also notice all of the photos on their marketing material feature couples. At the same time, one of their taglines is "Sandals Caribbean Resorts for Adults". Another example is on the FAQ for Sandals Ochi where it says Sandals Ochi is an adults-only resort, specifically designed for couples.   This is actually how things work out in practice. While Sandals Resorts is geared towards couples and romance, any adults are welcome. One way that Sandals Resorts is geared towards couples is pricing, they are priced per person per night. Additionally, they only have king beds so if you travel with friends that may not work for you. Having visited every Sandals Resort, we mostly see couples, with a few exceptions for wedding parties or families with adult children. Some resorts are a better fit for couples, like Sandals Ochi, Sandals Royal Bahamian or Sandals Grande St Lucian. Until Sandals makes changes, Sandals resorts are mostly for couples and there are better alternatives if you are looking for fun as a family or group of friends. --- ### Sandals Resort Deals: How to Save on Your Next Luxury Vacation - Published: 2024-09-11 - Modified: 2024-09-15 - URL: https://alwaysallinclusive.com/sandals-resort-deals/ - Categories: Sandals Sandals Resorts are not cheap, but when you take advantage of the deals they can become more affordable.

They created Beaches Resorts, an all-inclusive brand for families. Sandals Resorts Overview There are 18 Sandals Resorts sprinkled throughout the Caribbean with 7 in Jamaica. The other destinations include St Lucia, the Bahamas, Grenada, Antigua, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Curacao. Sandals Resorts are designed for couples and adults-only vacations. These resorts are known for their romantic and intimate ambiance, making them popular choices for honeymoons, anniversaries, or couples' getaways. You don't need to be a couple to enjoy Sandals Resorts. It is normal to find adult families, bachelorette parties, or just a group of friends together. Each Sandals Resort has a different vibe. Some feel more modern while others have a traditional Caribbean decor. Some attract a party atmosphere like Sandals Ochi or Sandals Montego Bay, while others are quieter like Sandals Negril or Sandals Royal Caribbean. Beaches Resorts There are currently 3 Beaches Resorts in Jamaica and Turks and Caicos. The resorts are focused on families with amenities for kids and teenagers. The Turks and Caicos resort is much larger and the Ocho Rios and Negril resorts are smaller.

We've been to Sandals over 20 times and have created a packing list for you to make packing easy. Essential Items When packing for a Sandals Resorts vacation, it's important to bring along all the essential items to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Here are the must-have items to include in your packing list: Clothing When it comes to clothing, pack for the activities you plan to enjoy. Bring comfortable, casual clothes for daytime activities and dressier outfits for evening events. It's also important to pack for the weather, so check the forecast before you go. The Essentials: Lightweight shirts and shorts Sundresses or skirts 1 or 2 pairs of pants for men's evening attire for the restaurants dress code. At least one collared shirt for men for dinner When you are deciding how much clothes to bring, here is an idea of what a typical day at Sandals looks like. Wake up and go to breakfast Change into your swimsuit and clothes for swimming At lunch, Men will put a shirt on to go to a restaurant and Women will put on a cover up to go to lunch. Return to pool or beach Go shower and get dressed for dinner. As you can see, on a typical day you aren't usually wearing your normal clothes much, so they don't usually get dirty.

Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, Jamaica has a private offshore island with a secluded clothing-optional beach area. It's important to note that only a specific section of the island is designated for clothing-optional sunbathing, not the entire island or main resort. After taking the boat to the private island, the clothing-optional part of the island will be to the left of the dock. There is a small sign indicating where the nude beach is. None of the other Sandals Resorts have a nude beach. Sometimes women will go topless at some of the resorts but it is fairly rare. In general, management will only say something if other guests complain.

When you look at everything that is included it starts to make sense why Sandals is so expensive. Accommodations Your choice of accommodations at Sandals will decide how expensive your vacation will be. Sandals resorts usually have more affordable basic rooms similar to any hotel room, but then go up to very luxurious suites. The most expensive is going to be an overwater bungalow, but relatively few people ever stay there or can afford to stay there. Other suites that are very expensive are the rondaval suites and suites with private pools. The swim-up suites are a good balance between getting unique amenities without paying for the top-dollar suites. The more expensive suites are expensive since they are usually larger, so the resort could have more less expensive rooms in that same amount of space if they wanted to. Additionally, the more expensive rooms are usually recently renovated. One other thing that will make a stay at a Sandals Resort more expensive is the level of service. Club-level rooms and Butler suites have additional perks and benefits that come with them, so naturally they are more expensive. Food & Drinks At Sandals Resorts all the food and drinks are included in the stay, and that comes at a cost. From your morning coffee to late-night snacks you never have to think about cost when it comes to ordering. The only thing I can... --- ### Sandals Barbados vs Royal Barbados - Published: 2024-08-31 - Modified: 2025-03-23 - URL: https://alwaysallinclusive.com/sandals-barbados-vs-royal-barbados/ - Categories: Sandals - Tags: Barbados We recently visited Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados and wanted to share the differences. In short, the Sandals Resorts are side by side and they operate as one resort. The only difference is going to be your room and with that comes the price. Sandals Barbados is an older resort so the rooms are generally cheaper. There are also luxury rooms available, which means rooms that the rooms have fewer amenities like robes and room service. At Sandals Royal Barbados all the rooms are either Club-level or Butler Elite Level Rooms. The other main difference is the area. Most of the rooms on the Sandals Royal Barbados side of resort are further from the beach. So if you are deciding between Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados, it's mostly in the rooms where you will see the difference. We liked our experience at Sandals Royal Barbados more because it was more secluded and we had a swim-up suite with a butler. But a lot of people do not plan on spending a lot of time in their room and are willing to save money there.

In this article, we’ll tell you all about the Sandals dress code for men and women so you know what to pack. Sandals Dress Code Quick Take The Sandals dress code is pretty simple. It’s relaxed during the day—think shorts, sleeveless or short-sleeved tops, sundresses, and of course, bathing suits—and either resort casual or resort evening for dinner at night, depending on the restaurant. Sandals Dress Code: Daytime During the day, guests at Sandals Resorts tend to wear “resort casual” clothing, but other than a few specific guidelines there isn’t a set dress code. Bathing suits should be covered up when not at the pool or on the beach, and shirts and shoes are required when in a restaurant. Daytime clothing at Sandals will depend on what you’re doing, from bathing suits for swimming or lounging on the beach to exercise clothes for the fitness center or tennis courts to shorts and t-shirts or tank tops for hanging out. Flip flops are great all-around shoes, as are flat sandals. For excursions off the resort, you may want some nicer casual options like linen slacks or sundresses for exploring the town, or activewear for more adventurous activities.
