We had not been to South Coast in a while It used to be our favorite. Well it still is! What a great week with Omar and Al as our butlers. They exemplified great service and how it should be done. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We have been to numerous other Sandals but the staff here are the best! There was some beach work being done but we didn’t mind. The restaurants are top notch and accommodating to requests. We can’t wait to go back. Great resort O’Brien. 😉 Read less

My wife and I had the absolute best time at South Coast. The food was amazing at all the restaurants that we had the time to get to on our relatively short time there. Lorenzo at Neptune's bar was so enjoyable to be around that we came back every night. We tried Snuba instead of snorkeling and the instructor made it such a memorable experience that we are going to get scuba certified before our next trip so we can go even deeper. On our final full day on the resort, we reserved a cabana on the beach and our butler took such good care of us that we didn't want to leave! We booked our next trip before we left. Can't wait until we're back at a Sandals resort in the Caribbean. Read less

This was our first experience with a Sandals resort. We were looking for a spring getaway and a coworker suggested we try Sandals. We have been fortunate to travel to many of the top resorts in the Caribbean and Sandals was a deal! We checked out all the resort options and chose South Coast. We were worried that we might be the oldest guests, but that was not the case. It was full of people that appreciated the relationships they were in. Lots of handholding! We chose to stay in the Rondival cottages! Probably one of the nicest rooms we’ve stayed in! Truly impressive! Another perk that comes with those cottages is butler service. We won the lottery with ours! We were assigned Tiffany and Alicia! OMG! They spoiled us rotten! They went above and beyond! Truly had the biggest impact on our stay at Sandals and would be a substantial reason for a return visit! The staffing at the resort was quite pleasant. Smiles and greetings from all. There were two others, besides Alicia and Tiffany, that need a shout out: Careca at Giuseppe’s and Kevin? The jerk chef at Bayside. The food was good and various options kept it interesting. The bars and cocktails were plentiful, there were activities if you wanted to be busy. If I had to look for something that could be improved, I might suggest that they provide the rooms with a daily info sheet of activities, themes, etc. The other thing that was a bit annoying was the sales push for future visits to Sandals resorts.

We are still at the resort and have 5 full days left before our departure...where do I start there are so many negatives that have dampened our holiday. Aside from the constant building works that is currently going on which we were advised by Sandals UK would be unobtrusive but have a digger working along the beach most days and dumper trucks loading and offloading is hardly unobtrusive. It rains for an hour or so most afternoons which is ok, but all the cushions are just left out in the open meaning there is very little outside seating available in the evening as the cushions are still very wet. (SSC management if it rains have the staff bring the cushions under cover please) Also if it rains during the afternoon some of the restaurants use this as a reason not to open the outside areas for evening dining??? Why One of our biggest disappointments is there is no Lobby Bar which you would find at most other Sandals resorts and the seating at Neptunes/Pool bars is either very uncomfortable hard stools or wet cushions and plastic glasses so we end up back in our room after eating at the restaurant. We went to book the snorkelling trip at the dive centre today and were met by a very unhappy and unhelpful lady who advised that because one of us wanted to only swim and not snorkel they would not be allowed on the boat and so decided not to go by myself...I mean really what kind of service is that. Sunbeds are very hard to obtain as they are all taken by Butlers and 'bed hoarders' at 5.30am so you are left with beds in the least desirable areas of the resort. On the positive side the restaurants are mostly very good and the majority of the staff are very friendly and helpful and the cleaners do an excellent job, it's the hotel management that need to get a grip and run the hotel as it could and should be run.
