Best Sandals Resort for Relaxing
If you search for the most relaxing Sandals resort on Reddit, you’ll find recommendations for Sandals Halcyon Beach, Sandals South Coast, Sandals Grenada, Sandals Royal Plantation, and Sandals Emerald Bay. Unfortunately Sandals Emerald Bay is now closed for renovation, as they are turning it into a Beaches resort.
We find Sandals Halcyon Beach, Sandals South Coast, and Sandals Royal Plantation to be the most relaxing of those suggestions.
Sandals Halcyon Beach, St. Lucia
The smallest and most intimate of the three Sandals resorts in St. Lucia, Sandals Halcyon Beach is very peaceful. 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.
There are 6 restaurants and 7 bars to choose from here. This relaxing Sandals resort also offers you plenty to do when you’re in the mood, including complimentary watersports and land activities; access to all the amenities, activities, restaurants and bars at the other two Sandals resorts, Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Halcyon Beach; golf; and plenty of excursion opportunities to explore stunning St. Lucia.
Sandals South Coast, Jamaica
Secluded in a nature preserve, Sandals South Coast is set on a pristine private beach and surrounded by tranquil nature. Due to its location, you’re not really close to many excursions, so it’s the perfect resort for those who just want to hang out and relax. There are 9 different restaurants and 7 bars to choose from.
This romantic resort also features the iconic overwater bungalows, so it’s a popular choice for honeymooners. And of course you have the usual complimentary onsite activities for when you do feel like doing something. The main drawback to Sandals South Coast is the long (90-minute) drive from the airport, over winding roads. Pack medication if you tend to get motion sickness.
Sandals Royal Plantation, Jamaica
Set in Ocho Rios, Sandals Royal Plantation is the smallest Sandals in Jamaica with just 74 suites. It’s also an all-butler-suite resort, for the ultimate in luxury. The beaches are private and beautiful, and the atmosphere is tranquil and elegant.
Enjoy 5 different gourmet restaurants and several bars including Jamaica’s first champagne and caviar bar. There is a full range of onsite activities available, as well as complimentary golf. You also have access to everything at nearby Sandals Ochi, the largest Sandals resort, if you get in the mood for a livelier vibe. And there are plenty of fun local excursions nearby if you want to explore the area.
