Stay away from Sandals!
timothysQ1237IU on Jan 22, 2023
The worst experience of life!!! Do Not go to Sandals!!! First of all they had no running water! So after a long flight and thousands of dollars spent on the room, I could not even shower or wash my hands. And they butler was useless and nonexistent, do what am I paying for??? I could not reach the butler but that’s who they said to contact if there was a problem! So what I suppose to do??? They give us a new room after much resistance. And the new room has water but is a worse room with inferior view. So the we go dinner where I order a medium rare ribeye and is under cooked and raw. The steak was tough as well! The soup was so hot I burned me mouth! So we go back to room for room service and the butler refused our request for food. I told them I wanted to transfer to another Sandals and a new butler but was ignored. So what I am paying for??? Then I wake up in the morning and go to breakfast where I am accosted by a manager and a security man. I am told I have to leave the property immediately! What???? I am like are you serious??? Unbelievably they were very serious. So I proceeded to my room which was open with five employees inside going through my bags! I am like what is happening??? They Said I was evicted and they were removing my items from the room! Then It got worse! The Jamaican police show up at my door with guns on! Unbelievable! I booked a dream romantic getaway for my fiancé and I, and now I am being forcibly removed from my hotel by Armed Jamaican police! First of all Sandals breached the contract we had, and then my violated my civil rights! Unbelievable! How can a company like Sandals do this to an American citizen??? I am going to have to sue Sandals for my refund? The worst vacation ever!!! If you want to come to Jamaica stay away from Sandals! They are crooks! They lie in their marketing, it is nothing like the commercial, the resort is rundown and the service was horrible! There are so many better places to stay! I can definitely recommend much better accommodations with people who treat you right and truly respect you and appreciate your business!
Not quite up to scratch for 5 stars but lovely staff
Y2CLL (London, United Kingdom) on Jan 22, 2023
We’ve been to a number of all inclusive hotels and maybe unfortunately experienced some amazing ones which makes others we visit feel like we’d rather be somewhere else for the money! Lots of reviewers love this place but I imagine many are repeat Sandals visitors and may not know what other standards exist perhaps? The resort was small (our preference) with the benefit of a very short bus (easily walkable if there were pavements) to the Ochi Rios where there were more choices for food. The Ochi is bigger and had a more party vibe so it was nice to return to the relative tranquility of our resort but we’d rather that wasn’t the benchmark! The resort is dated, as expected from others reviews, and while some of that is charming it’s clear the place hasn’t had much investment to even conceal chipped woodwork and cracks. Our room was small and quiet, facing the sea as requested but had open slat windows to the shower and wardrobe which allowed noise to enter the room from the corridors (there were no insects to worry about). There was a smoking area close to the room and sometimes the room smelled of smoke also. The rooms and gym, bar areas sometimes smelled of damp too. I can understand the tropical weather but I suspect the lack of investment over the years has paid a price. There were building works ongoing at the property with no prior warning. The noise varied each day but we wouldn’t have minded if we’d known in advance. It also led to the already limited restaurants being shuffled around so the French was in an old piano bar area inside upstairs. Our biggest gripe at the end of the holiday was the early pick up for our flight. For what was a 1.5-2h journey they wanted to pick us up at 2.30pm for a 8.45pm flight. If you wanted a different option you had to sign a waiver. This felt extreme, I appreciate the traffic can be challenging but we got to the airport 5hrs before our flight and had to sit on the floor for 2hrs before the check in opened. Thats just not 5 star service! The staff were really nice and friendly but sometimes the service slow - eg we waited 30m for eggs Benedict on a few mornings, beach bar doesn’t open until 10am, Sushi restaurant (in the Ochi) took a long time for our order to be taken and food to arrive, overall the food quality was ok but nothing really wow, so while nice, the level of service and quality of food wasn’t up to 5 star levels in my view. The wow factor of the resort was how lovely the staff were, especially the beach pool staff - they were outstanding - remembering drinks orders, providing little surprises and just the right level of friendly without over crowding. The room butlers were ok, personally I didn’t see the point - a good front desk could do away with that service but do keep the beach guys they were ace. There were lots of sun loungers so no worry in where to sit or if you left the hotel and wanted to come back later. The sun sets off the beach so only the piers have sun late in the day is something to bear in mind given the cliff edge style of hotel. Overall however if this is supposed to be the best Sandals has to offer we won’t return as there is better out there offering greater value in my opinion, appreciating there are lots of fans of the company of course so maybe just not for us which is ok.
