The food at South coast was sub par. We made reservations for Schooners for 8:00 Pm and we were not seated until 9:15. The resort was not crowded at all. On our way back to our room there was a strong raw sewage smell coming from running water out of the resort into the ocean (see pictures taken the next morning ) . The odor was very strong. We will not be going back to South coast Read less

I want to give the highest praise to our butler, Clive who made our stay absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect — from anticipating our needs to making thoughtful recommendations and always being just a message away. The way he decorated our Long Beach room for my husband's 50th birthday and prepared lunch for us and our guests was truly the best. His professionalism, warm, funny personality, and attention to detail made our vacation seamless and stress-free. He truly elevated our entire experience, and we are so grateful. Thank you for the outstanding service! Marcellus & Anethia Norris Read less

Just returning from 5 nights at Sandals South Coast. Would like to start with recognition for our beach cabana butler Melisa, she went above and beyond with service, very friendly and took time answer a lot of our questions about the island and culture. The beach cabana experience was fantastic, butlers get you drinks quickly, special lunches (battered and fried lobster was spot on) and food from any restaurant on the property! I had wings from way over at Neptune’s for a snack and just made for an enjoyable beach day. Also, impressed with food quality overall, for an all inclusive it was above what I have experienced at other resorts. Stayed in the Longbeach building, room was nice but limited patio space and seating. I know those tubs are a big deal but honestly how many people actually use them versus a nice patio table and chairs? Big issue with water pressure during the day. 8am, 1pm, multiple days it slowed to a trickle that would not suffice to rinse hair. Spoke with another couple and we were not the only ones with this issue! Beware of the beach/water-sports crew! There were one or two really great guys but the rest seem to be very proficient at not working. I water skied and had to be a little insistent for them to get the boat untied and out doing its job. We were watching the captain napping on the pier one day. Worst experience was second day skiing I forgot to leave my sunglasses in the cabana so after a few red stripes I trusted them with a couple water sports employees who were hanging out at their “desk” on the beach. Skied for 15 minutes, when I came back everyone was gone and my glasses with them. It took me 30 minutes and had to chew on 3 different people to get my Oakleys back. Dumb to leave $200 glasses with them but the vibe of the resort seemed to be very trusting, I never saw the guys again that day. Funny it was in the middle of the afternoon, people were waiting to take kayaks and stuff out and the water-sports guys (and my glasses) were completely MIA. Ask for management and most employees will jump pretty quickly. I hate having to be that guy and most resort employees were very dedicated to customer service. Not sure I would return to Sandals, lot of positives but a couple hard megatives, also brutal septic smell btw longbeach and starlight buildings. Read less

My family had the pleasure of vacationing at Sandals South Coast! We stayed in the Rondoval Swim-up Butler Villas with Private Pool Sanctuary. The entire stay was amazing. The rondovals were extremely spacious and accommodations were exceptional. The private swimming area and access to the secluded river pool was a special feature for us. All resort staff were incredibly helpful and worked to meet all of our needs. There are many restaurants that are guaranteed to meet everyone’s food preferences. The real highlight for us was the butler services provided. My sister and her husband joined my husband and I, so we had access to four fantastic butlers. Alicia, Mel, Tiffany, and Latoya did a fantastic job ensuring all of our needs were met and we could truly enjoy our vacation. They scheduled events for us, set up special décor in our rooms, got us set up each day at the beach/pool, booked all dinners and excursions, and made sure we always had plenty of our favorite drinks and food. Their main focus is that we were able to fully enjoy every minute of our vacation. It was one of our favorite vacations, and we would highly recommend the resort. Read less
