Sandals Royal Plantation
Beautiful and Peaceful. This was everything thing I needed it to be. It was restful, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. I'd definitely recommend Sandals Royal Plantation to anyone. The staff was amazing, customer service was 10/10 for me. It's not a loud place, and I loved that as I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The water sports were also great, I enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, but most of all, I enjoyed just lazing around on the beach and being catered to. I will definitely try to visit again soon.

Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa
We have vacationed at five Sandals resorts, and they are all very nice, but without question, Grenada is our favorite. The resort is a good size without being overwhelming. The food is some of the best. I can honestly say we did not have a bad meal. But the staff makes this resort over the top. Everyone is always gracious, helpful, kind, and friendly. They make this resort the best. Lisha is one of the best. Always service with a smile. Honestly, my list would be too long. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The pools are fun, and you can choose the activity level from relaxing to trivia bar games. We would highly recommend this resort for adult vacations.

Did someone say swim-up bar? Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa has not one but five, not to mention seven fine-dining restaurants and swim-up lagoon suites. What says ‘vacation’ more than diving into a pool and emerging to the sight of bartenders shaking mojitos? Sandals Negril certainly promises fun and frivolity.
Every suite at this resort is just steps away from Negril Beach, the oft-voted Best Beach in the World, mind you. Expect soft white sand, crystal clear water, and calm water, perfect for a leisurely swim. Negril Beach in Jamaica is seven miles of pure heaven.
Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa has some of the most luxurious rooms of the entire resort family, including two-story suites, Millionaire Honeymoon suites, and penthouse suites with butler service.

We had the butler service, and Tylar, Ria, and Vibert were truly so helpful, nice, and really made our getaway extra special and ensured we were taken care of the whole time!

Uniquely Beautiful. Our stay this January at Sandals Regency La Toc Resort was fantastic. First, the island of St. Lucia is beautiful, with peaks and shores and a tropical rainforest. Once we got to the resort, the Sandals team was super warm, friendly, and helpful.

Speaking of pools, Sandals Ochi remarkably has over 100 of them, not to mention 16 restaurants.

Sandals Ochi is adults-only, however, which is undoubtedly a plus where romance is considered.
Sandals Ochi offers a wealth of entertainment, including live shows, themed parties, cocktail evenings, and karaoke. You can also get a massage at the resort spa, book a snorkeling or scuba diving lesson, go sailing, or try your hand at kayaking.
At night, head down to Ochi Beach Club for a drink and a dance. There’s a fantastic swim-up bar where you can meet other couples or steal away to the firepits and open a bottle of champagne. At Sandals Ochi, it’s equal parts romance and fun.
Amazing vacation! Highly recommend! We had an incredible trip to Sandals Ochi! We loved the resort, the beaches, and the excursions! They had lots of fun activities on the resort (snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, cultural shows) and off the resort (luminous lagoon, blue hole, Dunn's Falls).

Like the guests of Sandals Royal Caribbean, the Royal Bahamian guests also get access to the secluded Sandals Island. You can also book incredible island tours through your butler or the resort’s concierge service. There are reggae catamaran cruises on offer and dolphin swimming tours, sunset cruises, island fishing, and shark diving, to name a few.
Sandals Royal Bahamian BEST VACATION EVER!!! I can not say enough about how great this place is! We had a gorgeous butler suite, and it was the best vacation experience ever! Our butlers, Sterling and Zally, took care of EVERYTHING, from setting up our perfect beach spot and making all the arrangements for dining to having sweet treats waiting in our room every night when we got back from dinner. Words don't even describe how wonderful they treated us. The food was outstanding, as was all the service. We will definitely be going back. I feel like they are family. Highly recommend!!!!

🏩 Which Sandals Resorts location should you book?
It all depends on what you want to do on your honeymoon or romantic getaway. So, use the ratings and reviews above to help you narrow down which Sandals Resorts to visit. You can also use the Sandals Resorts comparison tool to narrow your search by location, activity, and hotel features/amenities.
Rooms and suites at Sandals Resorts are classified into three categories:
- Sandals Luxury
- Club Level
- Butler Elite Level
Sandals Luxury rooms are Sandals’ entry-level rooms, Club Level rooms include room service, and Butler Elite suites include personalized butler service.
Irrespective of the level you choose, all guests enjoy the wide range of luxurious amenities such as unlimited gourmet meals and snacks at restaurants and bars, unlimited nonalcoholic and premium alcoholic beverages, daily refreshed in-room minibars, exquisite Robert Mondavi wines, and engaging water and land activities such as scuba diving, fitness centers, and greens fees at golf resorts. For a stress-free stay, all guests also enjoy evening entertainment, free WiFi, and airport transfers.
Each Sandals Resorts location offers a diverse selection of restaurants and activities. There are also many wonderful things to do in each Caribbean destination. As a result, we always advise a longer stay of at least ten to fourteen days. Thus, if you must choose between booking a more expensive room and staying longer, we always advise staying longer.
A Note on Sandals Honeymoon Packages
Each resort on this list offers a slightly different Sandals honeymoon package. So, make sure you read the details of your booking carefully before you confirm your reservation. While the majority of the resorts offer all-inclusive stays, some services are exclusively for guests of the top-level suites.
Final Thoughts on Best Sandals Resorts for Honeymooners
