Sandals South Coast All Inclusive - Couples Only

When I tell you this was a trip of a life time I mean it! The entertainment team and staff were so friendly and made the experience. Shavia, Leon, Francois and everyone made it feel like a home away from home. Everything was incredible. We have never experienced the incredible service we got from the staff ever in our life and I can’t thank them enough. We do not have one bad thing to say. The activities they have everyday are so much fun and you get to meet so many people from around the world. They have an app that is so helpful. You can look at the restaurant menus, open/closing times, schedule of activities, a map of the resort and so much more. I was on the app everyday so we could plan our day. It was all amazing and we will be back in the hopefully near future!

Visited here last May. This a beautiful resort. Food in all the restaurants was fantastic as was the drinks. Service was exceptional. My personal favourite was the Sushi in the evening and Giuseppe’s at lunch time. A special mention for Tavia in the Italian who was the best waitress, very friendly and superb service. Our only blip on this trip was how long it took to check in when we first arrived, not sure why it took so long, but after that everything was so relaxing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we return.

Another wonderful trip to SSC Dec 6-14, 2024. Booked 3 return trips while on site! Ride: The ride is usually about 90 minutes. Yes it’s on winding roads through the mountains which is something to consider if you’re prone to car sickness. We book Sandals private driver. In the past we have taken the provided transfer and it’s great too! We have also used random services but that’s hit and miss with the car. I’m just immunocompromised and try to avoid any extra exposure to illness. On the way back to the airport, I take the provided transfer as I’m not as worried now that my vacation is ending! Our ride there this time was in a very small BMW, I’m only 5’2 and had no legroom behind the driver. I don’t know if they are using smaller cars but this was the first time I’ve felt cramped. This was really one of the only down sides to our trip. For the expensive ride, there should be some comfort as in the past. The driver brings some beer, wine, and snacks for the ride. Our trip this time was about 3 hours due to rush hour and rain so if that bothers you, try for an early arrival to MBJ. Room: We always book the Silver Sun Beachfront One Bedroom Butler Suite - IB1 (in the past it was referred to as the Italian village). This area is near the majority of restaurants! The room is as described on the website. My favorite room is 1428 on the corner. I believe 1328 and 1228 would be the other corner butler rooms that would be good. We like this because we are 7:30ish dinner people and not ready to go out for our night at 5:30 when the sunsets. Depending on the time of year, you cannot see the sunset from your balcony without these corner rooms. In December we could have seen it without a corner room. You can call about 2 weeks before your trip and request a room or better yet a group of rooms you would prefer however there is no guarantee of specific rooms! Remember there really isn’t a bad room and a short walk outside to the beach or even better Latitudes bar offers amazing sunset views! Restaurants: Everyone has different tastes so this is all subject to opinion. I do recommend trying the drink specific to each dinner restaurant! Breakfast: This trip we just chose the buffet everyday (after room service coffee) as my husband prefers this quick option. It was great with a good selection. I was able to get poached eggs with hollandaise sauce placed on my self toasted English muffin so that was nice! My favorite dinner spot is Sushi on the Sand and I say this as “not a real Sushi person.” The appetizers are THE best on the resort. All the sushi I’m brave enough to try is wonderful. Ask for the off menu Dynamite roll and Volcano roll, you won’t be disappointed. Also, nobody there makes it awkward when you decide to order more food—so fill up on Sushi, it really can be done! Ha! We usually go here at least twice. You can just go for appetizers too before dinner. We love seeing Jeffery and Ramoy—our favorite servers there! Sometimes you can catch them d

Sandal South Coast Review 2024 This is a review of our trip to Sandals South Coast from December 2nd to 12th, 2024. We stayed in the Rondoval room (RSUP), 4710. This was a trip we booked on property in Ocho Rios in 2022. This was our first time to South Coast but 14th time to Sandals resort and 6th Sandals resort we have stayed at. Travel to resort We travelled from Canada, using Air Canada. Our flight was a little delayed but the fight was fine. Getting through the airport is not hard. Just follow the rest of the people. If you completed the immigration form online, you just have to go to the kiosk, scan your passport and get your picture taken to get a form printed. You will proceed to the luggage collection then a customs desk. Brief questions from a customs officer then down the hall with your luggage then left to the Sandals lounge. We were able to get on a bus leaving in 10 minutes. Still enough time to relieve yourself (do it) and grab some snacks at the lounge. We got on a large bus that would hold 20-25 people but is wasn’t full. The route there is bumpy in places and the driver seems to want you to get to the resort as quick as possible. If you have a weak stomach, don’t sit in the back. It will take about 90 minutes to get to the resort. Room We are met at the resort by the staff with a cool towel and drink. Your luggage will be put to the side to be delivered to your room. We were met by our butler, Tevar or better know as “Poppa Smurf”, who took us to our room. He showed us around the room, gave us a phone to contact him or the second butler, Kevin. There was a bottle of champagne and some snacks in the room to celebrate our arrival at the resort. The room is large with a big soaker tub for 2. The shower has 2 showerheads for different spray. There is a large sink with 2 faucets so no waiting and a makeup mirror so either one can get prepped for dinner without waiting. There is a hairdryer included in the room. Standard type hair dryer. The room has a plunge pool that can be accessed directly from the room or from the patio. The water is cool but you can get adjusted to it. The patio looks out to pool that wraps around the entire rondoval complex. We have a table and chairs inside and outside so you can snack, read or drink. There were 2 lounge chairs that sit in the water and there were 2 floaters for our room. If you have this room, make sure you do the float parade with your neighbours. The housekeeper kept the room amazingly clean. Lots of towels and replenished supplies. Even the turndown service (around 6:30) kept everything looking great. We made sure they were highlighted on GINA. Butlers We usually book Club level but these rooms come with butlers. As I mentioned earlier, we had Tevar, Poppa Smurf, and Kevin, Grandpa Smurf, for our butlers. They took very good care of us. We are not big drinkers but they made sure we have lots of fluids in our room, as well as at our chairs. They had all our dinners booked before we

Stayed December 1-9, 2024 I have been a loyal Sandals customer but I have noticed a decline in quality in all aspects. This was our free week and we were greeted by having a tablet shoved into my hands and told to complete the is. No one ever linked my credt card to our room. On night 1 we slept on filthy sheets as we discovered 3 large blood stains on one of the pillows the following morning. Day 2 & day of returning guest dinner no housekeeping. Had to use dirty towels. Fridge never fully restocked. Swim up pool filthy with leaves. Staff never cleaned pool just pretending to do so whilst socializing with guest aka trying to sell ****. We were told at check in that we had reservations for Eleanor's and Schooners. This was never done as we discovered later during our stay. Food quality way down. Staff, not all but a good bit, not pleasant. Tipping happening in plain sight. So if you don't tip or don't have a butler your service is far from luxurious. My husband and I used the poolside cabana twice as we saw people coming and going using them as well throughout the day. On the second day we were told by a guest that a staff member directed them to tell us cabana would be unavailable the following day and placed on top of our belongings was a reserved sign. I do not come on vacation to complain. I come to rest and recharge with my dearest love. Southcoast was our happy place. We've vacationed there 5 times. We renewed our vows there on our 25th Anniversary. We celebrated New Years there. We were offered $250 in points which we did not accept. And for the first time we did not rebook. Disappointed is an understatement.
