Quote: This is an adult, couples-only, all-inclusive resort, and the guests were almost exclusively couples on their honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary. Sandals has a sister chain of resorts, Beaches, for those couples once they start families. A great bonus to booking with Sandals is a free transfer to the airport, and the resort has plenty of shuttles, so there is little or no wait to leave the airport. Upon arrival at the resort, we were greeted with champagne, a little gift bag of shampoo and lotion, and a schedule of available activities for the week. Tips are included, and the staff is not allowed to accept them, so you can just put your wallet in the safe and forget about it all week. We stayed in a Royal Village Luxury room with a garden view. It was not one of the more expensive rooms, but it was nice to walk out into lush gardens, and we were only a minute's walk away from the breakfast buffet. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the duck at the Baccarat and the entertainment at Kimonos. Dinner is formal at most of the restaurants, with the women usually wearing dresses and the men wearing business casual (a little dressier than the khakis and polo shirt you can get away with at other resorts). At least one restaurant is open at all times, with Cricketers Pub being the late night option.

Quote: Stayed at the Sandals Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. Great resort... excellent service and very relaxing. All inclusive price was reasonable and very convenient. If you want to get away and relax... this is a great place to go.

Quote: Wife and I just visited Sandals for first time. To sum up, some reviews below are still accurate HOWEVER there is now a noticeable attempt by staff to be cheerful and helpful during our entire visit. Also they're cleaning public areas all the time. From prior reviews, it seems mgmt has thrown the ""be awesome or be replaced"" gauntlet down there. For the price, this experience was one of the nicest we've had in a long time. THE GREAT 1. Into our rooms right at 3p 2. All pools and saunas were clean, swim up bars nice, bartenders were beyond friendly & jovial. Other guests clearly knew these guys from prior visits, so turnover seems low. 3. The Island sets this place apart. Short Ferry from pier, pool out there was great. 4. Beach activities fun and well organized (volleyball, horseshoes, etc). We met other couples, some of whom we recognized and socialized with again later in the evening. 5. Nice daily newsletter listing weather forecast and activities, ie waterside trivia, beach sports, comedy shows, live bands and theme nights, etc. Also included phone extensions for restauants and hotel staff. Made it easy to plan our day. 6. Breakfast restaurants and buffets offered nice selection and seating. 7. At night there were romantic loungers with personal fire pits on beach. Some folks brought down wine & champagne from rooms, others just ordered from bartender. You could actually fall sleep on the comfy loungers all night and I think some folks did. SUMMATION- You're spending 3-4k on Bahamas, not 50k on French Riviera. If you have the flexibility to know a few things will not be perfect (out of 100's of small things you're using and counting on each day), you won't be disappointed. Great value and experience for the $$.
