Sandals South Coast Jamaica was my favorite trip my husband and I have gone on. This resort outdoes themselves. The resort is gorgeous. We stayed in a Rondoval suite. It was so romantic and quiet. I think we had to have had the best butlers at the resort, Tevar and Kevin. Tevar must have the energy of 10 men. He brought us things before we could even ask for them. All with an amazing fun and friendly attitude. Kevin and Tevar both set us up with poolside coolers and saved chairs, brought us lunch, snacks, drinks, and escorted us to dinner every night. How could you ask for more. They just went above and beyond. The staff sang to us on arrival and at our Anniversary dinner. The food was great. My favorite was the breakfast curry chicken and potatoes. Everything was great. Thank you South Coast for a wonderful trip. Read less

We just returned from a five night stay at Sandals South Coast and are already counting the days until our 2026 visit. This was our third Sandals resort, and it ticked all of our personal travel boxes as two 40-somethings seeking a primarily peaceful retreat with opportunities for fun/socialization if desired. The Long Beach balcony room (LB1) was incredible; spacious with a separate living room/kitchenette and bedroom/bathroom, a huge three headed shower/indoor and outdoor soaking tubs, and an impressive balcony with ocean views and sounds. Our Sandals friends we met this trip were frequently admiring the balcony feature of our room category. It was perfect for in room dining or evening champagne. The second best thing about our trip was our butler team Tavoy and Khani. These two met our every need and in short order learned to predict what we needed before we even asked. Both of these young men are impressive gentleman and hard workers. They are also friendly and outgoing and by the end of the trip felt like family. These two features alone; the room category and our specific butler team are why we rebooked the same exact trip in one year. We know Sandals has other properties to offer, but why mess with perfection? Other pros of the resort are: (1) its layout; the large size offers secluded, quieter spaces and fun, boisterous places depending on your mood (2) the Long Beach pool was lovely; again, quieter but with great bartenders, drinks and entertainment. Jahmone is hilarious! (3) the food was the best Sandals food we’ve had so far (previous trips were La Toc and Emerald Bay so we assume it is supply chain differences); there was also a ton of variety; we didn’t get to try all restaurants in only five days (4) bar hours were fantastic; other Sandals resorts’ bars seemed to close earlier and there seemed to be periods of time where it was harder to get a drink but not at South Coast. (5) the grounds are immaculate; crews are constantly working; everything is meticulously clean inside and out (6) the staff are incredibly friendly; most everyone greets you or smiles at you (less than 5 folks seemed not as friendly as what seems to be the standard) (7) the Loyalty office was great; Cristen was a tremendous help with the rebooking process. Finally, in full disclosure, parts of the resort we did not partake in included: (1) entertainment; we just prefer quiet evenings is all (2) the beach; the water was not clear and between urchin warnings and friends being stung by jellyfish, we stuck to the pool. Overall, Sandals South Coast is the perfect Sandals resort for us, and we cannot wait to return in June 2026. Read less

The beautiful landscaping and the beautiful people really make this place special above and beyond any expectations we could have had! Thanks so very much to Shinnell, Tracy, Obrien and Jevoy (+many more I can’t remember names) who really went out their way to make us feel like family….. but also like royalty. I can’t say thank you enough to the extremely hard working and professional Sandals staff, especially the housekeeping and restaurant folks who pampered us and really showed real Jamaican hospitality. Special shout out to Chuck and the boys at the Martini Bar who handled a flood of drink orders everyday and every night but always got the drinks right on! Can’t wait to experience this type of hospitality perfection again soon, but just know that Sandals Southcoast sets the bar very very high. Read less

Our 8 day stay in the rondoval Swim-up Butler Villa with Private Pool Sanctuary was amazing. Kevin and Jamoy were the best butlers waiting on our every need, from booking our excursions to providing us with a private anniversary meal on the patio. They would stop by with drinks, food and snacks as if they could read our minds. We have booked another stay and will be requesting Kevin and Jamoy again as our butlers. Sandals South Coast is a relaxing and gorgeous place to stay whether you want to lounge or do everyday activities. We did both having couples massages, a sunset catamaran cruise, horseback riding in the Caribbean Sea as well as relaxing in our private pool or the lazy river pool. The only downside is having to leave and wait to return. We splurged and had mobay which allowed us to relax in a lounge at the airport while waiting for the transfer to Sandals and also while waiting for our return flight home,we also did the private transfer and our driver Jason not only gave us an informative ride he stopped along the way for us to get some authentic food and drinks.

How do I begin to describe this wonderful resort? I will try, but I don't think I can it justice ! We had a few big milestones this year so we really splurged this time. We have been to SSC quite a few times (even back when it was Whitehouse LOL.) We opted for a private car ride to and from the airport. Martin was great and we made it thru a good rainstorm safe and sound. Upon arriving @ the resort, the sun came out and we were taken to our room.As I mentioned, we decided to splurge and we opted for the Over the Water bungalows . OMG, the room was everything we hoped for and more! Our butlers were Rayon (aka Crayon) and Stephen. They were a great team and no request was too much. Breakfast on the patio, dinner watching the sunset from the patio- I think you get my drift- we were spoiled rotten ! Also, your private cabana just steps from your room is a great touch. The room had a mini kitchen,very nice coffee maker (lattes etc.) etc. The glass floor was so neat at night-watching the various fish (especially the large tarpons) . I will comment storage for clothing seemed a little limited-there was a closet and a few drawers in the closet- no dresser though. I am sure we overpacked but we always do!! The food was excellent as always. Lunch was always a hit.From the pizza @Guissepes to the food trucks, you could not go wrong (nor hungry!) We loved the Jerk Shack and the shrimp tacos @ the Taco truck. We can't forget Schooners for their burgers and the great views at lunch as well. Dinner was also a big hit. FYI, book your reservations to Schooners as soon as you arrive. The food was great (the pepper shrimp yum) and the evening views are not to be missed.Davina @ Schooners was wonderful along with rest of the great staff. All the restaurants were very good and we had no complaints at all! We did also have facials at the spa. Our facials were great and the ladies were very knowledgeable about skin care. I am sorry to say I believe one of ladies was Venencia but my husband has forgotten his ladies name. They both were wonderful and we would do it again. Please forgive the spelling!(Hey to Bent!) We did book again @ the loyalty desk with Odaine for our next trip. Be sure to book an appointment to see him if you are coming back. We found he was very busy and an appointment makes sure you don't have to wait in line(also a few discounts while booking at the resort.) Don't forget to ask for you military discount if it applies- a nice discount! We also had a private car back to the airport and Robert was great. We hated to say good bye to our new friends and our old friends(Hey Joy and Kamar) so soon but we are already looking forward to our next trip. In closing, I hope this is helpful and just know you will have a wonderful time and thanks for reading all this!! Ricky and Robin Lanphere Read less
