We, family of four with 14 and 12 year old boys, just returned from 5 days at Beaches Sandy Bay May 25-29 and everyone had a great time. This is our second trip to BSB and, in my opinion, there are three reasons to go to this resort: the awesome beach, the great staff who make every effort to learn... More

My family and I recently traveled to BSB with my sister in law and her twins. All of us loved it!! What made it amazing were the folks who worked there. Everyone went above and beyond the call of duty. We found the food delicious and the drinks yummy. The beach was beautiful and we had a blast snorkeling. The... More

My wife and I were at BSB for my daughter's wedding on May 5th, 2012. We were there for the week. The staff did a wonderful job with the wedding details and it went off beautifully. Above and beyond that, the staff were by far the friendliest, most accomodating resort staff I have ever known. Within a day, they knew... More

My husband and I just returned from our 9th trip to Beaches Sandy Bay. So many folks have asked us throught the years..."Why do you keep going back to the same place everyyear?" Our repsonse is "Why do we need to go somewhere else, when we have found a place that meets and exceeds all vacation criteria? The food is... More

My wife and our two children stayed here for my brother ilaw's wedding. Unfortunately we took the cheaper route and chose to stay at sandy bay versus negril with the other wedding party. I was told by the travel agent and from the looks of the pictures on the website that there wasn't much of a difference between sandy bay... More

We just got back from Beaches Sandy Bay. Simply said it was the best vacation. This was our second time to the resort and we would come back every year. The beach is absolutely beautiful. The staff are great. Winston at the grill is the best. The kids looked forward to seeing him everyday. He has the best personality that... More

Was a smaller resort which made it easier to get around with a 2 1/2 year old. Sometimes smaller is better! Somehow even staff we hadn't met, knew my daughters name. All staff very friendly from...
