No one can describe the Sandals experience better than our guests. Below are real, unedited testimonials submitted by guests after returning from their Sandals vacations.
Sandals Emerald Bay
It's our fourth honeymoon!! 3 years ago my husband and I honeymooned at Sandals Grande St Lucian. Ever since then we have been fortunate enough to stay at 4 additional properties, Sandals Whitehouse, Royal Caribbean, Grande Emerald Bay and Grande Riviera and play at countless others. Sandals offers resorts with cutting edge rooms, fine dining, breathtaking gardens and pools and most importantly has the most wonderful, kindest Staff members working for them. I truly believe that the Sandals family is one of the main reasons why we and many other couples return to the Sandals Resorts year after year. Sandals is the place to go if you want to experience luxury in paradise! As they say in Jamaica.... Once you go, you know!

Sandals Royal Caribbean
There really are no words to describe the memories that we took with us from the week we spent at Royal Caribbean.When we came back we actually felt that Jamaica will always feel a little bit like home to us. We actually missed the amazing people that worked there. They almost immidiately felt like our friends rather than employees. I think of that vacation and can\'t help but smile.

When we decided to do a destination wedding, Sandals was our first and only choice. We had such an amazing time at the resort. The room was PERFECT! The staff was AMAZING! We were Wow\'d at every turn. We immediately made plans to return, the first chance we could. Our wedding could not have been more perfect. The weather was wonderful, the flowers were perfect, the officiant was great, and the staff bent over backwards to ensure our satisfaction. If I could, I would recommend a Sandals vacation to anyone who wants a worry free, Luxury included vacation where no need is left unattended! Thank you, Sandals, for the best vacation of our lives!!

Sandals Grande St. Lucian
St. Lucia is a beautiful island full of friendly people, and the resort mirrors this. The Grande is well groomed resort with a tropical paradise feel. The staff made us feel at home from the second we stepped out of our taxi. They helped us with every request no matter how small, and walked us through steps that led up to our wedding. They truly gave us a wedding and vacation that is unforgettable.

We loved this resort!! It was the best vacation we have ever had together. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The resort was clean and the staff was amazing!! We spent most of the day lounging in the main pool by the swim up bar. My husband also water skied, and we went sailing, and snorkeling. Every night there was entertainment. We even attended a wedding of a couple we met the day we arrived. It was so much fun we are going to another sandals resort this summer!

This was our first trip to a Sandals resort and we were blown away by the level of service and how well everyone was treated. It didn\'t matter if you were in the smallest room or the largest, whether you had a butler or just handled everything yourself, the service was superb. We can\'t wait to come back and spend another week at MoBay.

We stayed at the Sandals Royal Bahamian & had the time of our lives! The resort was absolutely beautiful, especially the offshore island. The staff was always so friendly & made us feel like we were part of the family. We enjoyed eating at all of the restaurants, especially Baccarat, where the food was amazing & the wait staff were superb! We were able to take part in some really fun activities like making our own tie dye t-shirts & learning Bahamian drinks in the mixology class. We loved going snorkeling at the offshore island & saw many beautiful fish, urchins, starfish & even a stingray. We also renewed our vows while there & the beach, calypso music, flowers & staff made it day to remember. We can\'t wait to return to the Royal Bahamian!

Wow! It has been 8 months since we took our honeymoon at Sandals Antigua and we still talk about it almost daily. In fact we are trying to plan an anniversary trip there in August again. Vannessa, our Butler, was amazing and made the week unforgetable! We fell in love with Antigua and would never go back unless it was to stay at Sandals. Thank you to all the excellent staff there, we will never forget that trip! Thanks, JP - Denver, CO.

Our stay at Sandals was a great experience. The entire staff was wonderful and took care of our every need. We loved the all inclusive aspect that is offered by Sandals and felt very relaxed knowing we were not expected to pay for food and drinks or to tip for services. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. We hope to return in the future.

Sandals Grande Antigua
My wife & I just returned from our second trip to Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa. We spent two weeks at this beautiful resort & it gets better every time. The resort it’s self gets better every year as the gardens grow & the colors are great. As a photographer it’s nonstop shooting great shots around this beautiful property. One of the best highlights of this resort is the people that work there. Managers like Gerald Christ, Matthew Cornall, Nicholas Bersma, Donovan Dobson, (Main pool bar), Althea, Cherise G., Carlos, Teandra, & (Restaurants) Kenelm, Garth, Patrick (Baby Shack) & Kenny. All these people & many more help make your vacation one of the best times of your life. The food is five star at all restaurants on the property & being a large resort there are many to pick from. Even after sending two weeks you never get tired of trying a new dish. There are many smaller pools & one very large pool that have many lounge chairs & lots of umbrellas. The pools are very clean & the hot tubs are hot. All the pools are quite with very low soft music paying in the background. Great spot for having a snooze! The beach is great, white sand & great for long walks with the warm ocean water meeting your feet. All in all this is the best resort we have found & will keep coming back to enjoy the people, resort & the island.

Simply amazing!! The staff were all gracious, attentive, and kind. The food was well prepared, and well presented. The water sports was too fun, the scuba was excellent as the staff made the scuba trips easy and safe. We really enjoyed the “Scuba with the Sharks “trip. Our room was well maintained, the in-room bar was stocked daily, and the staff always greated us with a smile and kind words. The drinks flowed from morning till night, great dancing, all-n-all, no complaints. We booked our next Sandals vacation during our stay, can’t wait.

Sandals Grande St. Lucian
The Island of St. Lucia and the Sandals Grande St. Lucian is a place that my wife and I will always remember. The island truly is \\\"simply beautiful\\\" and without a doubt, Sandals Grande St. Lucian fits in perfectly with the surrounding views. The resort had a beautiful beach, tons of activities and fantastic restaurants. Guests have the opportunity to either jump right into the middle of the action or can easily find many places to relax and enjoy complete peace and quiet. My wife and I have stayed at three (3) Sandals resorts thus far. We always talk about St. Lucia. Go to this resort and visit that safe and friendly island.

Asolutely the best resort experience ever. We have been to the WH four times and are already booked again for number five. The beach is the best, we love the remote/privacy nature of the WH, you can\'t beat the three large pools, and the many restaurant choices are great. Our rooms have always been great and the sunsets are second to none!

Even though each resort has its own special place in our hearts for us, I believe this has been the most special to us. We went for our 21st Anniversary and each day was so relaxing and memorable. The Staff is warm and try very hard to make sure your stay is the most enjoyable. Our room in the Bay Roc Villas was very nice and right on the ocean so we were lulled to sleep each night be the sound of the waves and each morning by the sounds of little songbirds. The Red Lane Spa is one of the best and I highly recommend making sure to have some massages and facials! Our Butlers were very attentive and made sure we were comfortable each day. The restaurant staff made sure each meal was enjoyable. Each day was very magical and we cannot wait to return!

Having traveled to many islands and resorts, I find that most are the same aside from locale and decor. The one thing that sets Sandls GOR apart from the rest is its service. I specifically remember a house keeper named Curtis who was called to our Villa because my husband was sick. What could have been a very embarassing situation was handled with grace and discretion by a man who actually whistled and sang as he cleaned for us. Second to the service is the great food, atmosphere and beauty of the grounds. I was very pleased and am returning next year.

Sandals Montego Bay absolutely exceeded our expections! The grounds were lavish and perfectly manicured. Flowers were saved to be used for table and bedroom decorations. Every staff member was polite and helpful, far above what we've encountered in the service industry at other locations. We enjoyed the daily beachside entertainment and games, as well as the nightly shows, games, and performers in the lobby. The watersports personnel were fantastic! We never had a wait for equipment and often we felt as though the beach was our private retreat. We enjoyed the small sailboats that were taken out by experienced staff. The water was clear, calm and warm. My husband was able to snorkle and scuba dive while I recieved pamering in the exceptional spa. Every area was clean; it amazed us how every empty glass and plate was whisked away by staff almost as soon as they were set down. Our favorite meals were in the Pub; the mashed potatoes and Sunday Pot Roast was simply terrific! There is as much or as little to do at Sandals Montego Bay as you would like. We spent our days lounging in the sun, enjoying snacks and beverages on the beach, and playing in the sparkling water. Other adventures were available for those who wished to do something beyond the resort. Management was visible interacting with guests, making each guest feel important. We enjoyed watching the many beautiful sunset weddings that took place on the beach. The photographers were very attentive to capture special moments of my husband and me around the resort. We have already made reservations to return next summer to celebrate our 24th anniversary.
