We like to travel, there we said it! we like all-inclusive resort so we do not have to worry about anything. Sandals is still our favorite and after having visited 9 resorts we have a few tips that will help make your trip a little easier and a little better
Enjoy the coffee, they use Jamaican Blue Mountain and it is amazing.
You have multiple pools in addition to a little thing called the Caribbean sea so check them all out. They will have different vibes and sometimes better bar tenders. Quiet pools, loud and active pools, and an amazing ocean.
Before you get here book your excursions. This way you get the best choice and you can plan it into your relaxation.
There Red Lane Spa’s are very awesome. The couples massages are so romantic we recommend them.
Water sports are included, including kayaks, paddle boards (can you stand up and stay up) and hobie cats as well as lessons on how to use the equipment. As a friend assured us ‘they gave me a 5 minute lesson I can sail, now.’
We have always found the food to be very good (except the bean soup at a French restaurant, it was pureed green beans)
The food is all you can eat. If you want more just ask. A friend got 2 lobster tails with an extra lobster tail.
Oh and if you have not been to a Sandals when you are done eating you just get up and leave. Our first meal at one we waited for someone to come with …..do not know but finally we just got up and left. It felt very odd, and luckily it did not cause us to do the same when we got home.
Check out all the places to eat including the Jerk Shack and Ice cream (make sure to try a rum raisin with a shot of rum over top)
Bring a straw, they now use paper straws and topical drinks just are not as good
Try these drink favorites
__ Dirty Banana
__ Pina Colada with a dark float
__ BBC
__ Yellow Bird
__ Sake Cruise
__ frozen Bob Marley
__ Purple Rain
……….so many drinks
A few items you should bring
Sunscreen, sunscreen and more sunscreen
Giant binder clips (or towel clips)
Always bring a pair of pants, some restaurants require them and sometimes it may get a little cool at night (75) On our first Sandals we did not know about the dress code and had to go and buy pants at a department store in Jamaica.
