All of the 17 Sandals resorts in the Caribbean have Wifi, and even better, it’s included in your rate.
But is the standard wifi any good?
The strength of the signal can vary depending on where you are in the resort and which resort you are at.
The first time we visited Sandals resorts, we found the complimentary Wifi speed to be around 5 Mbps, which is good enough for most uses but not for things like streaming video. When we visited the Jamaica resorts again in 2024, we found the Wifi had been upgraded and was now about 20 Mbps, which is enough to do almost everything online that you might want to.
Each time we visit the Wifi seems to be getting better.
Using the Free Lobby Wifi
One thing we have noticed is that the wifi in the lobby is better that the wifi on the rest of the resort. So if you need to download a movie or something that requires more data, head to the lobby to make it happen.
We are unique in that it is our job to help people plan thier vacations. I usually find a place to work from in the mornings on resorts with good Wifi. For example, Blum Coffee or the lobby piano at Dunn’s River.
Is Wifi free at Sandals Resorts?
Yes, Wifi is free at Sandals Resorts. Basic Wifi is part of the all-inclusive package, so you can get access in both your room and the public areas. However, while the basic Wifi is good enough for calls and going online, it may not be enough for streaming services.
Should you upgrade to premium Wifi?
Premium Wifi at Sandals is an option for an additional charge. In our experience, it is not worth the extra cost.
