Sandals South Coast, Jamaica was the perfect honeymoon destination! The resort was absolutely beautiful and so well-maintained. The pool area was fantastic, and there was always plenty of shaded seating available by the beach we never had trouble finding a great spot to relax. The restaurants were excellent! Only two required reservations, and even during our stay in July, we never had to wait for a table at the others. The sushi restaurant quickly became our favorite fresh and delicious every time. A helpful tip for future travelers: try not to plan anything from 12–2 PM, especially during the rainy season. It did rain almost every day, but only for about 30 minutes, and then the sun would come right back out. It never disrupted our plans and honestly helped cool things down in the middle of the day. The staff at South Coast was the highlight of our entire experience. Every single team member went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The bartenders and entertainment crew were especially amazing full of energy, fun to talk to, and always ready to help. Huge shoutout to Lorenzo, Kenny, Willis, Dickardo, Shavi, Dennis, and Richard — they truly made our stay unforgettable. The resort felt incredibly safe, and the entire property was easy to navigate and felt very private and peaceful. We also had a small mix-up with our private dinner on the beach (completely our fault), and the staff still went above and beyond to make it right we were blown away by their kindness and willingness to accommodate us. This was our first Sandals vacation, and after this experience, we honestly don’t think we’ll go anywhere else in the Caribbean. Sandals South Coast set the bar incredibly high — we’re already dreaming of going back! Read less

What a beautiful laid out resort! It did not feel crowded because the resort is so spread out. You can always get lounge chairs on the beach as there are so many areas and you do not have people right beside you. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional, caring and attentive staff! A big shout-out to Jodiann at Jasmine’s!… Read more
What a beautiful laid out resort! It did not feel crowded because the resort is so spread out. You can always get lounge chairs on the beach as there are so many areas and you do not have people right beside you. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the exceptional, caring and attentive staff! A big shout-out to Jodiann at Jasmine’s! Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our vacation truly exceptional. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and made us feel so special. Jodiann genuinely deserves to be a manager — she has all the qualities of a great leader! We also want to recognize Terrence and Atiba at the pool bar. Their energy, friendliness, and dedication stood out every single day. They consistently went out of their way to ensure our drinks were served with a smile, and we saw firsthand just how hard they work. These two absolutely deserve to be recognized — and promoted! Your entertainment staff are incredibly talented. We felt like we were hearing the most professional singers from The Voice. They were always very friendly and ensure to get the entire crowd going!! Being a travel specialist myself and having a site inspection with Rihana from sales gave me an excellent insight to all the room categories available. She was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Now regarding the dining experience. There were enough food options to consider, and our favourite was Jasmine’s! Schooners by the beach has the most perfect location. One suggestion we’d love to share: having a snack bar or pizza bar open throughout the day into the evening would be a great addition. It would offer guests more flexibility and keep the experience even more enjoyable with more food options. The resort was kept incredibly clean and well managed, including all the wonderful gardeners that we encountered throughout our stay. We even got to visit the greenhouse and they were incredibly welcoming. From the moment we arrived at check-in to the moment we departed at checkout, our stay was a 5 out of 5!!!! Thank you Sandals South Beach for a memorable vacation!! Well done!! Read less
