Nice property. Food was pretty good. Ocean gorgeous. Even though we stayed at Sandals, the Royal Sandals is so close you easily can get confused which property you are on. We chose the regular Sandals for the better ocean view from our room. It’s easy to grab cabs from the resort. While we did not visit the famous caves or the Mount Gay factory, we heard lots of people talk about how amazing those tours were. My reason for 3 stars: I left solid gold hoop earrings and a pricey swimsuit and shared exactly where in the room they were left. I called immediately after I left. Then two days later. Then a week later. Then two weeks later. Each time I was referred to Customer Relations. I’ve emailed them, and spoke to representatives who all “annotate” our calls in their “system.” They repeatedly tell me someone will be in contact with me. It’s NEVER HAPPENED. It’s been 3 weeks. I find it Very sketchy that it just magically disappeared. I find it VERY poor service that after 3 weeks and multiple calls to the property and to customer relations there has been No Reply.
