My wife and I have been home just a week, and we already booked a week for next March. South Coast is our favorite Sandals resort. After having spent approximately 28 weeks at various Sandals resorts, I can say that we have never spent a bad day at any Sandals and that includes 2 hurricanes. South Coast is a large resort, always being updated, and has a beautiful long private sandy beach for those who might want great (did I already say private?) swimming. Special shout outs: Chef Winston. While briefly escaping the kitchen to visit tables, My wife inquired why she sometimes cannot get her favorite Jamaican food, namely ackee & saltfish. Winston immediately arranged to meet her the next morning, 8am,at Eleanor's restaurant. Of course, he was prepared for her with a glorious plate, as promised. A class Sandal's move if ever there was one. Others deserving special notice were Tonnelle in the Loyalty Dept. (We're heading for Barbados on Easter Monday.) Gary for a great aqua-size workout. Crystal from Red Lane Spa, 90 minutes of heaven. Shane, the manager who doesn't let problems even have a life. Shavia, from Entertainment, who makes the most pleasant pool side "Stop-N-Chats". If you happen to be one of those people who search for something to complain about (you know who you are) South Coast may not be the place for you, in fact nowhere is. Stay Home. Read less

We just returned home after an amazing honeymoon! We stayed in the Rondoval and have never felt more spoiled. Our butler team Kevin and Recardo were absolutely amazing! The kindest individuals and really made us feel special! When I wasn’t feeling well one of the nights, Recardo checked on me several times to ensure that I was recovering well. Kevin made us laugh and both of them provided an excellent service! The restaurants were amazing and I’m still not over the sushi or the lobster from Schooners. The water sports were so much fun and the pool atmosphere was awesome! The entertainment team were really involved and almost had me talked into water aerobics but I was wayyy too relaxed! O’Neal in photography was so awesome and my husband probably could have hung out with him the entire trip! Jolesia was also super sweet and loved getting to talk with her. There was also a guy that walked the beach serving drinks that always had the biggest smile on his face. I didn’t catch his name but he wore a bucket hat and was so friendly! It was an awesome time and the Rondoval was perfect for a honeymoon. The plunge pool and lawn chairs were perfect every morning while we had our breakfast. Some foods that I will miss are: fish in foil, coconut shrimp, sushi, surf & turf, room service nachos and the jerk chicken!! Side note: my husband really enjoyed the peacocks and now wants one at home. We also really liked that each restaurant offered a signature drink! The cucumber from Schooners is amazing! Read less

We absolutely loved everything about Sandals South Coast. The property is pristine and the food was excellent. We were in the Italian Village and the rooms need a little love but they were still beautiful and clean. Definitely would recommend this resort!

My husband and I spent a week at the Sandals Southcoast the week of 2/10/24 - 2/17/24. Pro's: 1.The staff at the resort were all super nice and friendly, very inviting atmosphere. 2. The food was fantastic. 3. One of the best things we noticed at this resort, was that there were hardly any locals on the beach trying to sell you stuff, which was a pleasant surprise. We've been to other Sandals resorts where we can't even go to the beach because they harass you so much. Con's: 1. The beach has a lot of seaweed growing in the water. I would recommend water shoes if you plan on swimming in the ocean. 2. Music by the main pool was extremely loud and not age appropriate. It was mostly 40's - 60's age range and they were playing 'young' music. They need to learn to read the crowd. 3. Not enough chairs by the pool. If you didn't get up by 7am you could not find chairs. 4. There was construction going on down by the quiet end of the beach. 5. No bathrobes in the room (only provided for the club level room and above) 6. Mattress was SUPER firm (which may be a pro for some) 7. Pillows were terrible (in our opinion) 8. My husband was not allowed into Eleanor's restaurant because he didn't have a button-down shirt on and the next night we went to Schooners (another restaurant that had a button-down shirt policy) and the man sitting next to us had a tye-dye t-shirt on.
