All, I encourage you to make your own opinion and I'm sure there are people that have wonderful expereiences at them.
I did at 1 of 2 hotels during a stay at Sandals on an island, However the 2nd hotel just really detracted from the overall experience.
Take my feedback with a grain of salt but see it below.

Personal experience with Sandals. they offer a lot of things but don't always deliver. I had an issue with the TV in the room and they acused me of unplugging the cable. the room allowed for room service from the restaurants took 2 days to get the menus. when asked to speak to a manager they avoided me for 3 days including setting up an appointment and then no showing.
The in room massage team came with "free gifts" and charged me.
when told I'd get a free upgrade I was charged for it.
They advertise a shopping trip to the town and then when asked they just said oh no we don't do that.
The other fun thing was that they took my lugage at check out and wouldn't turn it over to me until AFTER I signed the final bill.

But the food quality was good overall,
The staff depending can definately operate on "island time"
there were good parts, but given the trip was my honeymoon the little things added up in my book.

I had a great time a few years ago at Sandals Ocho. I just booked Sandals Caribbean Cay today after seeing this deal for November 2027. It was $89 to hold the room for 21 days.

At what price? Nobody is mentioning prices, but everything I'm seeing is not any more affordable than booking a 5 star luxury hotel and spending $100 per person per day on food.

There is no one price to post. They're all over the place. There are three tiers of service and it depends on the location. Mine was $3,607 for two people but there are others for 2-3 times that amount at the same resort.

Wife and I do Sandals once a year. We dive, so the no-cost diving makes it well worth it. Really depends on resort. This is just our experience, and I'm sure people have different opinions, but figured I'd try to help out if I can.

Caribbean Cay (formerly Royal Caribbean) was our favorite. Was a little smaller, chill, lots of shade on the beach, good diving, friendly staff.

Negril was our second favorite. Easy access to Beaches if you want to go to another resort. Really nice workers, great dive staff, really nice big beach with tons of shade. Good food.

We've done Ocho Rios a couple of times, but there are kinda two parts. One on the beach, one across the street and you needed to take a bus on to the other side. Bit of a pain if you're mostly beach, not pool, people.

Royal Bahamian really good diving, almost no shade. Great restaurants. We only went once, since no shade is kinda rough if you're there in July/early August.

Least favorite was Antigua. Dive boat was "full" a few days and couldn't dive, never happened any other place. All beaches in Antigua are public, so you constantly have people coming up to you asking you to spend money. It was not relaxing. Pools were nice, if that's your thing, but beach was just constant harassment.


One other tip. If you're flying into/out of Montego Bay, sign up for "Club Mobay" before you go. You'll skip the line at customs, someone will hold your hand through the process of getting into the country. Then when you leave, you'll hang out in the Club Mobay lounge, which is all free food and free drinks, until its ready to board. It's generally worth it, but sometimes you'll find there is absolutely no line coming in... so doesn't feel THAT worth it. However, Sandals tends to bring you back to the airport a good 3-4 hours before your flight, so the extra time in the Club Mobay lounge almost always makes it close to worth it.

Did you use their dive gear or bring your own? How is the gear they provide? Not having to bring all your own gear is a huge plus.

We've also been to Jamacia many times.

I agree with your points and how you've ranked the resorts for Jamacia.

We've been to Ochi once (too big and spread out for our liking).
Negril twice - best beach and we really liked this resort
Royal Caribbean twice (now Caribbean Cay) and we were scheduled to go just as the Hurricane hit last year but Sandals was awesome helping us rebook for no cost to Dunn's River. We're going there in November and only heard good things so far.
We visited Montego Bay once and it was nice but never spent any time other than dinner there.

Additionally, we've been to a couple of the Beaches properties in Jamaica:
Beaches Ocho Rios - Closed now but was showing its age
Beaches Negril - VERY nice. Would go back and was great for the extended family and all the cousins that were with us.

We'd go back in a heartbeat to Negril and I'd love to try Caribbean Cay once it gets back up and running.

All in all, we've been really happy with the organization. People operate on Island time and that is sometimes frustrating for people used to a more fast pace. While we know the price may be a little higher, it is really nice not having to take money with you anywhere on property. No tips (with the exception of butlers and spa staff if you choose). Service has always been great in our opinion.

P.S. We don't personally dive but we eat and drink pretty darn well Wink

We dove at Negril and Barbados. All equipment was provided and in good working order. Great dive staff at both. We found the dive sites at Barbados a bit lackluster compared to Negril, not resort's fault! However, at Negril you just wade out from the beach to the boat, whereas at Barbados you had to take a 1 hour plus bus ride to get to the boat, then get your gear and get going, then 1hr back. So the dive takes up a lot of your day. Good question to ask when booking. Our only two dive experiences so far, but would definitely book at sandals again just for the dives. Overall quality of the resort (food, beach, pool, etc) was excellent, no complaints.

I can't see anything at Caribbean Cay under $6k, but I'm guessing that's because of the time (April) and length of stay (7 days).
