Our 2nd trip to South Coast was just as amazing as the first! We stayed again in the OWB because we had to have our favorite butler again, Rayon! He is our main reason for returning again besides the beautiful view from the OWB. Rayon goes above and beyond to make sure his guests receive the best! Even if you do not request anything he comes up with something and that extra care and effort are what make him stand out and make us want to return to see him again and again! We already booked our 3rd trip for next year! His personality is cheerful and fun but always professional. We miss him greatly on his days off! If it werent for him and our other friend Makare we would be off visiting other Sandals properties. We have been to Jamaica Ochi, Grenada, St Lucia, Barbados and Antigua. These 2 make vacationing fun and we can't wait to see them both again! South Coast restaurants are ok. Jasmines, Schooners and Giuseppe's were our favorites. Wish there were a few more new options. OK. Jerk Shack is #1. We order from there every single day, twice a day! The returning guests dinner was not the best and felt drawn out. We are thankful for our Diamond achievement and gift. Entertainment in 2023 was way better than 2025. Not sure what happened. The South Coast property is beautiful. A bit slippery when pool tiles are wet, but otherwise gorgeous. The Beach Party is fun, but more seating is required so everyone can stay, see the show and enjoy the food. All employees met us with a smile. You get what you give so be kind always and enjoy your surroundings! Visit LaToya to book your return trip like us! Read less

We had the most amazing honeymoon stay here. It was our first time in Jamaica and at a Sandals resort and it will surely not be our last!! We cannot wait to come back to Sandals SouthCoast🩵 All of the staff members at the resort were so thorough in making our stay luxurious, relaxing, stress free, and most importantly FUN! My husband Luke and i want to give a special shoutout to our bartender and now friend, Monisha. We met Monisha at the Latitudes bar and was won over originally by her service and then was kind enough to get to know us, which made our stay feel like home. She was so sweet, and personable. We looked for her smiling face everyday this past week and it warmed our hearts to see her waving hello and checking in with us around the resort. It was honestly sad to say bye! As well as Dickardo, he made our stay so much fun. Amazing service and the best drinks! But not only that, he took the time to chat with us during his down time and it was so nice getting to know him and laugh with him. Our brother from another mother ❤️ Shoutout to Damone, Sean, and Kenny for their amazing service and dedication to making our stay so fun and memorable! By day 2 of our 7 nights we were walking around feeling at home! We thank our servers, hosts, and chefs for making our dining experience out of this world!! Felt like royalty each restaurant we went to. We booked a couples massage and Amoy and Crystal were so amazing. Our whole experience at Red Lane Spa was so relaxing and a state of Zen. Special shoutout to our housekeepers, she was the sweetest soul and our room remained spotless, smelling fresh, our fridge stocked, and always had clean towels! We cannot say enough about how appreciative we are for this beautiful resort to have made our stay so amazing. BOOK SANDALS SOUTHCOAST FOR YOUR NEXT STAY! Read less

This was our first visit to Sandals and it exceeded all expectations. We stayed in a Rondaval and the accommodations were first rate. Our Two Butlers LaToya and Melesia made the stay incredible. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and handled details like dinner reservations, day trips and making sure our beach spot was ready every day. Food and drinks were outstanding as well. The only negative is we could never stay anywhere else but a Rondaval in the future. Worth every dime. Read less

Entertainment staff and service staff on Southcoast were great however, the view our first day was of the pool cleaning equipment, even though our swim-up pool was dirty enough that we felt uncomfortable swimming in it (they were just storing the equipment there, not actually cleaning our pool). The walls were green and the bottom had a lot of debris on it. Pictures are attached. I hate complaining, but finally on the 3rd day of our trip I requested the pool get cleaned. It was, more than 24 hours later, but the “pool is closed” sign remained our entire last day of the trip. There was no point in us having booked a swim up pool because we really couldn’t use it. The day I complained, they offered to move our room when one became available the next day, but at that point we would only have had 1 day left, we didn’t want to pack up our entire room just to unpack it again for 1 day. The first day we were there, the large hot tub in the main pool of our building (Longbeach) was only 3/4 way full and was not turned on. Also, the gym facilities were closed, the cold and hot plunge in the spa were the same temperature (cold) and not maintained at all and the steam sauna on the mens side was not usable. The mattress was very hard, (seems like they are hard spring mattresses, not memory foam but the pillows were great). The satelite TV was useless (I understand it’s an Island, but really no point in the TV even being there) and the free wifi really only allowed IM’s and phone calls. You can purchase Premium Wifi but it’s not included. Overall, relaxing time and great people, but these specific elements of the resort were very disappointing for the amount of money we paid. It was double what our typical yearly Caribbean vacation costed with the very same amenities that actually work well and are well maintained. This was our first time staying at a Sandals resort. It’s hard to imagine booking with them again. Read less
