“Butler service was ELITE with Roland and Sherry Ann”

Oct 28, 2025Marc J

The resort was very nice and upscale. We had a beachfront ground floor room with butler service. Our butlers were Roland and Sherry Ann and they were awesome. We ate our meals in our room. The butlers got us food from any of the restaurants at the resort and set it up for us in our room. Roland made sure we had chairs and a spot on the beach and island each day. He set up a cooler full of beverages and brought us any drinks from the bar and food from the cafe that we desired. Breakfast was great every morning. The blue mountain Jamaican coffee was exceptional. My wife and I booked Sandals Royal Caribbean for our honeymoon and it was a great choice. Roland and Sherry Ann went out of their way to make our stay and special occasion the best with their attentiveness and service. I highly recommend Roland and Sherry Ann at this Sandals resort.

“One of our anniversary moments!”

This was our first time in Jamaica, and we had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. All the staff are awesome and helpful.

“Best experience EVER!”

Oct 25, 2025Ronnie C

This was our first Sandals trip and it did not disappoint. The short drive from the airport to resort was perfect and put us at the pool by 3p after checking in which was seamless. We had a butler suite in the Clarence building. Butlers Kavoy and Chad are the best. So kind, funny and always eager to help. Loved they had our chairs and coolers set up wherever we wanted to be that day. The little things like having the tub filled in late afternoon after returning from pool or beach, the surprise lunches or snacks at the pool or beach was so appreciated, made our dinner reservations too. We really didn’t have to think about anything. All the restaurants had really good food. We didn’t try the Indian food. The resort is very walkable. Short walk to wherever we were headed. Not many stairs and had elevators. Housekeeping was excellent. The grounds are beautiful. Entertainment was good every night and ended by 10-10:30. We could not hear it in our room. We booked again for next year!
