  • I really loved it. They have so many restaurants to choose from (I think like 10-15). I thought it was beautiful and the people were so nice. The only thing I caution you on is that this particular Sandals was HUGE. So much so that you had to cross a main street to get from one side (Manor side with main pool, 1/2 restaurants, and many rooms) to the other side (Side with beach, 1/2 restaurants, and many rooms). They have a shuttle that picks you up from the hotel lobbies and drops you off at the other side and they were usually very quick...so it really wasn't that big of a deal for us. Plus, we had a butler and they would drive us in a golf cart to the lobby. If we didn't have her, it might have been a bigger deal because some of those walks were pretty far. I would suggest...if you love the beach and that's where you want to be stay on that side of the resort. Otherwise, the Manor side was awesome and the pool was amazing.
