We cleared customs and easily found the Beaches lounge. Skycaps took possession of our bags and, while the Beaches staff made a point of saying they weren’t associated with the resort, they were clearly working together (the skycaps work for tips). You don’t need anyone to take your bags to the minibus a few feet away but they really don’t... more

Well, for starters, customs at the airport in mobay was awlful. It took for ever to pass through. After that it was a half an hour before our shuttle would leave to take us to the resort. Mind you we're already 2 hours behind. Our driver decides to stop off at this shack for us to get out and get... more

I took my son to Beaches Sandy Bay for his birthday. We had a fantastic time. The hotel really made a big deal out of his special occasion. I definitely suggest that if you have a special occasion even a birhday that you advise them ahead of time. They made him feel very special. The staff are very, very gracious.... more

The Beach is what you will love about this place. Let me say that our party of four persons were upgraded from Negril Gardens (Grand Pineapple). We truly got more for our dollar, i.e. three to four places to eat, bar open till 3am. etc. But we love the small places with a great beach and awsome vibe. We did... more

This is a letter I wrote to the head of beaches: My family and I arrived at the Beaches Sandy Bay resort on July 2, 2008. All of our accommodations were booked through Liberty Travel. We were taken to room 5209. First, the room was very, very dirty. I walked across it barefoot and my feet were black. We had... more

My sister and I just returned from a 5 night stay at BSB and it was a HUGE disappointment. I, like many others, read the reviews - good and bad - but still decided to book this vacation because I know every resort may have a SMALL issue here and there and because I trust the Sandals product. My husband... more

Me and my best friend stayed at beaches Sandy Bay, we were very impressed by the welcome that we received on arrival, (great rum punch!!). We were then taken to our room which was a good size, looking over the sea. Which was a stone throw away. The only thing i could say about the rooms it was in need... more

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at Sandy Bay. Our family, including 7 grandchildren, was there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. I was a little anxious about booking there after reading some of the negative reviews. There were so many more good reviews than bad so we decided to go for it. Having just been there, I don't... more

FYI: We stayed at Beaches Sandy Bay 4 days and Sandals Negril for 4 days. Most of this review will focus on BSB. Although the property of Sandals is more elaborate and couple-oriented, we preferred the size and friendliness of BSB. Guests at Sandals kept to themselves and were sometimes snobby. We ran into many Sandals guests like ourselves returning... more
