My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon and would give the resort a 3. We spoke to many other couples who had honeymooned around the world and other places would make your honeymoon feel much more special than this resort did. If you have experienced other all inclusive beach resorts, you might be disappointed in your experience. The... More

My Husband and I just got back from a week at Sandals Emearld Bay and I have so many great things to say about this place! We stayed in a Oceanfront Beach Villa and had two Butlers (Sajneesh & Garth, who surpassed all our expectations). Yes, we had to wait about 30 mins for our room to be ready, but... More

My husband and I just got back from a week at Emerald Bay. We had a blast, but it was hard not to compare this resort to the two times we stayed at Montego Bay in Jamaica. It's not really fair to compare hotels in two different countries, but there were too many simliarities not to do so. Our first... More

We just returned from out honeymoon. We booked the Coco Plum Walkout and it was even better than we imagined. Our butlers Sheldon, Adam and Valentino are wonderful people. They take their jobs seriously, and as I imagine living and working in paradise ain't so bad for them. They booked everything we needed for us! THANK YOU! This was our... More

When you first get off the shuttle and walk into the lobby, your jaw will drop. The view is absolutely beautiful. I will always remember the moment I stepped on the property.

We just returned from a great week!! We did spend the extra money for Butler service and it was great for getting prime locations on the beach and pool. The food overall was good...something for everyone. We enjoyed the Italian and French restaurants twice during our stay.

We spent one week in one of the beachfront villa suites for our honeymoon. We loved our stay there! It was a butler room, which we splurged on because it was our honeymoon. It ended up being a good decision. Our butlers, Sajneesh and Garth, were amazing!!! They really went above and beyond to make our stay great. They were... More

Views/Beach The views were amazing. Even though it was windy while we there, the water was still very blue. The beach could get a bit dirty with trash washing on shore; however, the staff did a good job of keeping it clean. Butlers To start, we did not use the butlers very often. When we did use them, they were... More

We are regular Sandals guests and we needed a break from the hustle and bustle of living. We didn't need lots to do. We simply needed to relax and unwind from a stressful life. This was the ideal place for it. Simply eat, sleep, relax and reflect...... I absolutely LOVED the beautiful beach. And, the golf course is challenging but... More
