Had a great week! Just got back. Our trip was planned seamlessly using Kim Parris with Unlimited Destinations. Since this was our first trip out of the country, she did an amazing job helping us plan all the steps of international travel. If you need someone to help you with Sandals plans, I recommend Kim highly. Our private transfer driver Mervin with Bradshaw Tours really took good care of us. The roads are rough in places, but he did a great job getting us to the resort and then back to the airport safely. Butlers Jamoy and Patrian really made our trip special. They were downright awesome! Everyone should be so lucky to get them. We truly had the trip of a lifetime! Read less

Rajae is a fantastic fitness instructor. We thoroughly enjoyed his classes. We took almost every class that he taught. He is very knowledgeable and provides a very good workout. I look forward to coming back and doing his classes again.

Amazing location, staff was excellent - very accommodating and welcoming. Lots of activities, or you could choose to to chill. The road over to the resort from airport was sketchy, not sure why that isn't addressed (I've been on smoother cow paths) so it took like an hour and 40 minutes, but once there that all went away!!

The road over to the resort from airport was sketchy, not sure why that isn't addressed (I've been on smoother cow paths) so it took like an hour and 40 minutes, but once there that all went away!! Make sure you get up early to save a good spot at your pool or beach of choice. Food was good - the restaurant variety wasn't bad and again, staff was very accommodating! Rooms were comfortable and clean - having a ceiling fan really helped. Overall a great trip to celebrate our anniversaries! Read less

We had never been to a Sandals resort and couldn't understand why so many people raved about them...until we visited for our 10 year anniversary. We just got back about 2 weeks ago from the Sandals South Coast in White House. It was absolutely amazing. The rooms were so clean and well-kept. No complaints on this front. The FOOD! The food was just incredible. The sushi was fresh and authentic. I had one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. And the Jerk Shack was just delish - both the fish and the chicken! Ashani "Chop Chop" was so fun and friendly, and always made our time there enjoyable. Shout out to Shake in the gift shop. He was so friendly and helpful. Just loved going in to obviously shop, but see his smiling face. Riley from the front desk was also extremely helpful. The entertainment team was also a lot of fun and very engaging. There were soooo many more staff members that made our trip amazing, but I wasn't the best at getting everyone's name. But thank you to all that made our stay here incredible. I would come back every year if I could. Jamaica is one of the best islands we've ever visited. Definitely take the day trip in to Negril to see 7 Mile Beach, and to visit Rick's Cafe. You won't regret it. Read less
