Amazing resort. Well kept. Rooms are updated and nice. Staff is friendly. We will 100% return. Already booked our next trip. Rayo and Cooper are the most outstanding butlers, and made this trip so much more special. Kim, in the loyalty lounge went above and beyond to help us find the best deal on our next vacation.

There were so many great things about our trip to this resort, but I wish I would have known some of the negatives ahead of time. The food quality and service was really hit or miss. Our check in was past 4, so we couldn’t book reservations at any of the reservations required spots that day. We went to the walk in spot and it wasn’t very busy. It took 20 minutes to get drinks and over 2 hours to get our food. 4 tables who were sat after us received their food before us. When the food came out not all of the dishes were correct and it was ok quality. Fast forward on our trip, food service was much better at the reservation restaurants and quality was much better. Thai = some dishes were a bit bland but some were phenomenal. French = everything we tasted was great. The pub of all places which we didn’t even realize until the last day served food was GREAT (and the fastest)! Bartenders throughout were friendly and pretty fast. Sometimes they seemed to get annoyed with making shots. We weren’t ordering them non-stop, but still they weren’t thrilled. The entertainment team members were great! Tasheka, Happy Feet, and Dr. Smooth - you guys were great. Shout out to Marsha for slipping a mini- silent disco for us! We obviously came to this resort expecting and wanting a couples resort that wasn’t a rave party, but we weren’t expecting it to be quite so low key. The fire show and the one love show were great! We went over to the Montego Bay resort for one of the days to play pickleball and hang out. The pools at both are very small compared to resorts we are used to, but the layout and modern style of the Montego Bay is more youthful. Royal Caribbean is a bit more dated and needs some repairs and maybe a little modernization in some spots. Would we go to Sandals again based on our experience? Yes? But, if you’re 20-40, I would consider some of the other resort chains we’ve gone to first for the price we paid for this trip. If you’re looking for a quaint, romantic get away with phenomenal views and great overall service, I would however recommend this to be added to your short list!

Do yourself a favor and book a different resort . Communication is horrible here from the moment you step in the lobby and speak to the greet staff . In addition to being poorly trained and informed much of the staff is not friendly , particularly the bar and server staff . We spent time at the sister resort and it seems to be a much better ran resort it definitely had better entertainment , nicer hospitality staff . The transportation people were also helpful there . Just a much better vibe left me wishing we had booked there instead of royal .

We traveled last week for 5 nights with our 2 adult children and their significant others. That meant there were 6 people reading reviews in advance, needing coordination with meal fables, etc. We decided to try the Butler level category for the first time, hoping it would ease our coordination burden. WOW. I will get to Sherry Ann and Roland in a minute, but first the things we read online in advance that had us worried. Construction: Yes, the overwater bungalows were all being refurbished, but it had zero impact on our trip. Construction Noise: I guess if you really were paying attention, you might hear a random hammer or machine, but we were in the building closest to the construction and it was not an issue. Private Island Pool closed: Well, it has reopened and made for a nice “new” spot to enjoy mid way through our trip. Beach is Small: Yes, and there are not as many people at this resort as other Sandals, so there was always a beach chair available or someone (even beside the Butler) who were happy to help with towels and chairs at the pool or beach. One of our party had a food allergy. EVER SINGLE TIME we sat down, the server asked “Any food allergies?” And when we said yes, they immediately gave a menu rundown of what was okay and what to stay away from. And when food for 6 was delivered, they would confirm which of us had the allergy. So professional! Now, for Sherry Ann and Roland. They had carefully studied our pre-arrival preferences (such as pre-order of a birthday cake for my Daughters Birthday), helped us pivot reservation plans when we decided at the last minute to change (again, for 6!), made sure I was never far from a cold water or Red Stripe no matter where we were on property, and suggested some new drinks that were always a treat! Finally, the best example of great service - We planned to go to the Reggae Sumfest music festival in downtown MoBay, which was great. Sherry Ann coordinated with our taxi driver to have lawn chairs in the taxi waiting for us to use when we were picked up! My kids have made up a song about Roland and Sherry Ann after we left that is sung to the tune of Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry” (“No Roland, No Cry. No Sherry Ann, No Cry”). We were laughing so hard on the bus back to the airport. I would be remiss not to mention the so very many more that made our trip great but I’m not great with remembering names - The lady shuttle boat Captain to the Island was as skilled of a boat driver as I have ever seen, the bartender with the bucket hat at the island who poured drinks as if he had 4 arms, the Chef in white coat at the Jerk Shack that shared her secret recipe for the Hell Fire jerk sauce, just to mention a few. Thanks for taking care of my family. We have rebooked and will see you all in December 2026.

We had the butler elite experience with Clive and Recardo and they made this honeymoon the most perfect week ever!!

This resort was me and my wife’s honeymoon of choice and we couldn’t be happier about it!! From top to bottom it was perfect!

We had an amazing time and would like to commend those who have made our stay so special. From the beginning Lotoya (loyalty manager) welcomed us and made us feel at home. Casseana from redlane spa did a spectacular job with my hair and makeup for our vow renewal. Tevar and Kevin took great care of us at the Rondovals helping a lot with our wedding day. Kemar (Manager)was a life saver helping press my wedding gown after I burnt my hand. O’Neill from the photoshop took amazing photos and is extremely humble. The resort chefs and servers have been amazing with my allergies, Enrique and Tedroy went out of their way to make sure my meals were safe. Lastly, Radcliffe and Annika have been very kind and helpful with our room. Our butlers Stephen and Rayon also went above and beyond making our stay at the bungalows perfect. Highly recommend the resort and the staff.

Sandals South Coast is AMAZING

We spent a week at Sandals South Coast in July 2025. We had been to a few other Sandals previously and had good experiences. This was by far the best of the Sandals we have visited. The staff was phenomenal! We cannot say enough good words about them. Our butlers Alicia and Tiffany were outstanding. Shemar took us out on the Hobie Cat and showed my husband how to sail - he was so kind and helpful! The restaurant chefs met with me, as I have food allergies/intolerances and they were wonderful - meals were delicious! The breakfast buffets could not have been better!! Every restaurant had kind and attentive staff - Juleyanne at Bayside was a beautiful hostess!! Our room was spotless! The beach was beautiful! We could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back! Well done Sandals South Coast!!

Can’t Wait to Go Back—Loved Every Second!

We stayed at Sandals South Coast for our anniversary and had such a great time. The resort is absolutely beautiful—huge property, quiet beach areas, and some really good restaurants (especially loved Eleanor’s). If you’re booking, I highly recommend getting the private transfer instead of the shuttle. We made the mistake of doing the shuttle when we arrived, and it was pretty stressful. The private ride on the way back was smooth and relaxing, and our driver, Nikolai, was so kind and knowledgeable. We did a vow renewal while we were there, and I can’t say enough good things about Chevelle, our coordinator. It actually rained that afternoon, but she handled everything so calmly and made sure the ceremony still felt special. Khalia at the front desk also helped us out during checkout and was super friendly—just one of those people who makes things easier. We’ll definitely be back. Already missing it.

Francois, This artist’s voice is nothing short of breathtaking — effortlessly blending the raw soul of reggae with the power of gospel, the smoothness of R&B, and the lyrical sharpness of dancehall. Whether performing an intimate acoustic ballad or a high-energy anthem, their vocal range is controlled, expressive, and deeply moving. There’s a richness in their tone and a clarity in their delivery that can only come from natural talent honed through years of dedication.

Fantastic trip! Highly recommended for that special couples getaway

Thank you Sandals Grande St. Lucia for a wonderful 25 year Anniversary trip! And thank you especially to Nell at the front desk who went over and above the call of duty to help me with some very important special requests. She helped make the stay extra special- five star Customer Service. I also want to send a big thank you to the performance staff. All of the performers were so friendly and kind! The breakfast staff every morning was amazing. Love the pools, the bars, the service, the beach, the fantastic snorkel trip to the Pitons Nd the mud bath was so special. We even took the free van over to the other resort and ended up having an evening there and enjoy enjoying it. Can’t wait to go back again!

A wonderful experience in paradise, my weekend vacation was very well spent.

The hotel was amazing, great service, great staffs, I had a wonderful experience. The view was amazing, the restaurants each had their unique aura about them, they were all beautiful. The pools and pool bar were great, the bartenders there were all hardworking and amazing. I had a wonderful experience meeting a few of the staffs present. I met Nicketta from Tuscaninis restaurant who was amazing, she had an amazing personality and made me feel right at home. She was so welcoming and warm, very hard working and determined to make us feel so welcomed. It was also my pleasure in meeting Cynthia from house keeping, she was very courteous, warm welcoming and kind to us. She made us feel right at home. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jamie who is the retail manager who was so very welcoming to us. He was a breath of fresh air, he pointed out so many things we could partake of and also made us feel so at home. He was gentle and sweet, I loved coming into contact with him, he made our stay more memorable. Denver who is a bell man was wonderful to us, he was kind and very helpful. He was very informative and sweet. CJ at Gordon's restaurant was also very accommodating and very nice, he was helpful and attended to our needs. So was Phillip, great service from these two. The service there was excellent as well. Sasha from Dinors was great,also courteous, helpful and kind. All was amazing and very nice and welcoming. We felt right at home. Everyone we came across was very nice and helpful. A great experience indeed.

Thankful

Unbelievable experience at Sandals Grande St. Lucia

My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Sandals Grande from July 7th-July 14th, 2025. From the minute we entered the hotel, we were sang to (LOL) and received the best hospitality service I have ever experienced in my life. The nightly entertainment was excellent. Nelville “the devil” and Deasia went above and beyond as entertainment hosts the week we stayed. Ton of activities to do daily and the staff checked in several times to ask us if everything was going well. It was unlike anything myself or my husband had ever experienced. Great food options-portions were not too big-so you could still drink and not feel full. I would like to come back in the future-it was the ultimate trip. Every person who works at the hotel had nothing but smiles and great attitudes the entire time.

Stunning resort. Fabulous food. Fantastic staff. If you’re thinking of going. DO IT 😎

Having stayed at many of the Sandals resorts I can say without question that this one is the best. Sandals 2.0 at its best. The resort location is both dramatic and beautiful. Nestled in a valley surrounded by lush forest and sheer hills it’s a pleasure to see. The grounds are kept beautiful by a team of gardeners that never seem to stop. The rooms are very modern and very clean. Turn down service is offered in the room that we stayed in every evening. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had. Some of the restaurants are very similar, in the fayre that they offer, to other Sandals resorts but the standard is on another level. In particular Buccan. This restaurant offers local dishes, much of it cooked over fire. It did not disappoint. It’s a sharing experience so you will be sat at a table with other people. We were fortunate enough to have some great conversationalists or our table. Fantastic experience and lovely staff. Other restaurants of particular note was Scrimshaws: We had some fabulous food in the evening and the a la cart breakfast was very good. The service was excellent. Alika & Onasha went out of their way to help when I asked for something the kitchen didn’t have. They went above and beyond to make the start of the day feel very special. Ariel was another fantastic lady who was always smiling and happy and made the experience a great one. Parisol is a restaurant near the beach and offered a great view for both breakfast and dinner. The staff were friendly and always made our visits feel special. In particular Kamelia and Russelle at breakfast. We also had Joy look after us at dinner one night and she made our dinner feel very special with great service. Gatsu Gatsu was always our go to restaurant to start the evening off. Some of the best sushi I’ve eaten. We were made to feel very welcome by Jeffery and his team including Zoe, Shevina (Chevy) and Levi the Chef. The Three Jewels (rum club) was another favorite of ours. The two bar men, Lionelle and Atu, were just amazing. These guys could entertain at the same time as making some incredible cocktails. They literally didn’t stop all night!! The Jerk Shack was pretty good too. The food was great (recommend the jerk pork) and we were always lucky to be looked after by Orlandra. She was just brilliant. Enough about the restaurants. The resort has lots of different pools to choose from. The main pool was always lively and lots going on. The cabanas were very good but always booked up, however, from July 1st 2025 the resort began charging for their use and suddenly there were lots of cabanas available. The heart shaped pool was excellent if you prefer things a bit more laid back and chilled out. Although the bar is further away, the pool service for drinks was excellent. We had a room category that meant we were offered the chance to arrive at the resort by boat. If you have that option I would definitely recommend it. I would also make you aware that we waited for nearly an hour and a half before we left the jetty to get to the resort while the staff waited for more people to arrive. Not ideal and I nearly asked to get a taxi to the resort it took so long. Once we were underway the experience was a good one. The evening entertainment was also very good and better than some of the other resorts. All in all this resort hits all the right spots. Great staff, amazing food and very good service You will not regret visiting this resort. Sandals 2.0 is just outstanding

Sandals St. Vincent, one word..AMAZING! You gotta go. Big AL says so!!

I am a loyal Sandals Customer for years and I absolutely love this brand. I only have 2 Islands left to visit, St.Vincent & Turks and Caicos. Well this trip is St. Vincent for 7 days, and where I always get asked which Sandals/which island is better, I honestly love them all for different reasons. And Sandals, they way they handle their business at all of them, makes it really hard to not like all of them. St. Vincent is flat out GORGEOUS!! It is nested between the mountains and lush greenery. The mountains actually have an active rainforest, no worries, other than the normal Carribean light showers off and on (dependent on season), the rain never came down to bother us, but I looks so beautiful to see it. Our room - excellent (Beachfront Villa Butler Suite with media room and private pool). It actually has more than that (too much to type)😩😍. The resort and all amenities (including pools, especially one of the longest pools I’ve seen, longer than an Olympic size). The food and restaurants AMAZING, the Staff and Butlers AMAZING, the entertainment department, staff, and shows AMAZING, the Scuba and all the Scuba crew AMAAAZING !! I’m coming back FOR SURE! You need to book this trip! -Big AL (room 2102) 👍🏽😎

I will admit that this getaway was planned to fit a multitude of requirements. Having a balanced perspective, allow me to explain that this review is for a more season traveler who is looking for a resort experience. With this being the newest Sandals Resorts and meeting all of my requirements - I took the plunge. And once again, Sandals did not disappoint with its location. However, please keep in mind it is an hour drive from the airport (your driver can make the time fly - which you may or may not have control over) Service, staff, room and amenities were fine. 1. Public Facilities: The facilities were some of the best I have seen. Staff were constantly reviewing the grounds in what I can only describe as 'Disney level concern'. There wasn't areas that felt neglected, worn or overlooked. The lobby is open and gives a wonderful view of the pools and beach area. Sandals staff greeted us with near song in their mouths and warmth in their handling. The greeting room as was actually quite large and accommodating even though there were multiple parties checking in. As I indicated, ALL grounds were about as immaculate as can be expected. And the aroma reminded my wife and I of fragrance garden. An added benefit was lack of feeling overrun my mosquitoes or biting flies. Now this is the raining season so the in speaking with the executive staff I was advised the property was at about 40% capacity. Thus, the property never felt crowded... but it wasn't a ghost town either. As you walk past the lobby - your able to see the various pools, bars, cabanas and buildings. In additional the the main pool, there's a heart shape pool as well as smaller pools and hot-tubs. I observed the staff checking the chemical levels of the pools and it showed their level of care as each pool hut-tub was always clean and pleasant, not overly chlorinated or cloudy. Of course, Beach towels are provided upon request and are plentiful. Walking the property provides the views of the mountains of St. Vincent as the resort is clearly built into a large cove. This does allow for some beautiful views. The beach is well maintained small bay. This gives you the advantage of avoided large waves and permits watersports of kayaking, Stand Up Paddleboarding, snorkeling, and small craft sailing. Please do not expect crystal clear or blue waters or pink sand ... rather you're presented with a clean beach and waters that and inviting. 2. Private Quarters Our room was a top floor ocean-view. Remembering that the nature layout of topography means you have a cove ... you actually do have a ocean view past the bay. Moreover, the views of the mountainside were beautiful to see as well. The room was well designed with thought of wood cabinetry along a wall covering the wet bar, the closets, safe and storage areas. The bathroom was large with antique style soaking tub along with a very large walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. The balcony was well set back - the rain never came into too far even with the wind pushing it. The balcony also had a large soaking tub which beckoned us with relaxing sunset times. 3. Staff This is one of the few times and resorts where I could not point to a single individual who did not make every effort to make out time special. Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming. Smiles, service and concerns for our happiness were all that we were met with. They were opportunities to simply chit-chat with them and in-turn they took time to ensure are needs were being met. 3. Services Room service staff was responsive to the electronic system of whether we wanted service or privacy via a keypad and light set up (you select Privacy or Service). This worked well ... if you remembered to light up the 'Service' light when you wanted service as the staff would not even knock on the door in the 'Privacy' light was lit. The service was top notch and if you advised them, the staff sought to address your needs or issues. 4. Location As mentioned above, the resort is built into a cove. You're not next to other resorts or able to just walk off the resort and appreciate the local area or even the locals themselves. You're able to see as you're driven - you are pretty much secluded from the local neighborhood. 5. On-sight Restaurants/Bars: Scrimshaw - This is a traditional seafood restaurant though it may become your go to if you're not early birds able to get to the buffet breakfast at Sora. Parisol Beach Club - Was your traditional burgers and what not. It's bar was a good place to sit an sip on your beverages and it provides seaside views. Buccan - This is their family-style traditional Caribbean restaurant. It does require a reservation. We actually did not have dinner there (but based on the preparations of the Jerk Shack - we have no doubts the food would be tasty and plentiful. Imoro - This is where we quickly learned was the best salad and healthy green bowls and drinks. Their omelets made starting the day easy. Isola Pizzeria - This was a smaller lunch place. We quickly found out they make delicious hand made to order pizzas. Butch's Island Chop House - This is their traditional steakhouse. The atmosphere was upscale as expected. The food was prepared EXACTLY as we specified - Amazing. Not only did that surprise us, we could customize dishes mix and matching appetizers, entrées and deserts. As with their brand, kitchen too the time to consider the plating and it is actually better than what you'd expect. Gatsu Gatsu - This is their Japanese Sushi restaurant. Yes, the atmosphere was pleasantly muted and the food was well prepared, plated and tasted great. They had an excellent selection of saké and saké derived drinks. Sora - The is where the breakfast buffet is located and at night it is an Italian restaurant with great dishes providing pasta and pasta alternative dishes. Blum and Crema - are coffee houses with both ice cream and expressos a plenty. 6. Excursions None this time. However, I always scuba dive and Vanessa was a wonderful dive master to follow and she kept me smiling across all of my dives. Overall I will definitely state that Sandals St. Vincent pretty much exceeded our expectations. This should not be seen or considered as a 'budget location' - but the adage that you get what you pay for - means that you WILL FEEL that you spent your money very wisely.

We booked this trip to celebrate our 16th anniversary! Resort is beautiful and would definitely come back again. Scenery is beyond gorgeous, resort is set in the valley and you are surrounded by lush mountains, tropical plants and a gorgeous beach view. A couple shout outs to some excellent service members at the resort ! Alron- aka Batman. He took us on a private snorkel, extremely patient and very attentive. 100% recommend asking for "Batman" for all your Sandals excursions. Jerod with Island Routes was the man! Even though weather conditions weren't the best he still tried to makeoir hike to the volcano the best experience possible. So knowledgeable and polite! Shoutout to Daniel as well for getting us to and from our checkpoints ! Ken- Manager @ Sora Restaurant Randy- Waitstaff @ Sora Restaurant Randy and Ken were absolutely amazing! We had dinner at Sora the night before we hiked up to the volcano. Besides the perfect service at dinner, they offered to have breakfast delivered before all the restaurants were open and delivered it ON TIME. Highly recommend this resort, every aspect was amazing. Staff members at every bar, restaurant were super respectful, everyone said hello when they passed by! I sure wish all Americans could come here and learn how to be thankful and not entitled..Sandals again lived up to its brand. We will be back.

Definitely recommend Sandals St Vincent!

We had the most incredible honeymoon at Sandals St. Vincent! The resort was incredible. The food was delicious at every restaurant, the rooms were so clean and the entire experience was so relaxing from start to finish. What truly made our trip unforgettable were two amazing employees — Omali “the one and only” and Darri! Their friendliness, energy, and genuine care went above and beyond. They truly made our stay special.
