My husband and I went to Sandals for our one year anniversary and here are our thoughts!Airport arrival: The Sandals desk at the airport was large and they were very welcoming! The transportation to the resort was spacious and well-air-conditioned.Check-In: The Club Sandals check-in was seamless. We were welcomed into the Club Sandals lounge and they called our names individually. We had someone privately walk us to our room, show us the resort and where things were in the room.Room: Although we didn’t get our first-choice room, our assigned one had a better location, in our opinion (closer to restaurants and pool instead of the beach). Sandals also compensated us for the unexpected room change.Pools & Beach: The pool was fantastic! We enjoyed that there wasn't an open or close time for the pool so we would often go down and night swim in the lit up pool. The beach was smaller than expected; if you’re looking for a large beach, you might be disappointed.Service: Generally good, but poolside service was limited to butler suite guests. Other guests had to go to the swim-up bar, which had only 1-2 bartenders so it would take awhile to get a drink. People were very friendly and always willing to help.Food: Above-average resort food. The variety of restaurants was great, and most didn’t require reservations, except for two (which we missed due to dress code, men make sure to bring LONG pants!). We appreciated the option of sit-down breakfast restaurants instead of just a buffet. Room service wasn’t very good, so we used it only a couple of times.Excursions: We had an amazing excursion, which included swimming with sea turtles, exploring caves, and wild flamingo sightings. Our tour guide was fantastic and informative. We also went golfing on the course right next to the resort (walking distance). It was $145, which included club rental, a cart and rider—a great value for an ocean-side course. We regret not booking the shopping excursion with the resort ($50 pp) since taxi costs were much higher ($100-200).Atmosphere: The resort was very laid-back and catered more to an older crowd. If you’re looking for nightlife or lively entertainment, this may not be the place for you. However, the relaxed vibe suited us perfectly!Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend it for those seeking a low-key, relaxing getaway!
