Sandals resorts

Are they worth the $$$? Looking for a nice place to spend a week in the Caribben this spring without spending 10k. Can anyone suggest a similar resort experience with a smaller price tag?

Are you wanting to incarcerate yourself in resort within another country?

Looking to relax 3-4 days ( beach, drinking, etc) and spend the other couple of days exploring the area.

We have had two great experiences with them. Some will complain that they are the McDonald’s of all inclusive but I tend to disagree. They do a great job of letting you get away from it all to relax without the fear of the unknown.

Sandals in Nassau is nice

The food sucks. Otherwise it’s okay.

TripAdvisor has a traver’s choice awards they are given out every year, there is an all inclusive category. It is selersted by region, it is a good place see how they rank. The nicer the place the older the crowd...

Look at Secrets Maroma Beach in the Riviera Maya of Mexico.

My first and last visit to a Sandals felt like Spring Break South. Much better values and atmospheres in the Caribbean.

Sandals are cheesy. Food is avg at best.

I don't want knock them too much, but I think if you do your research you can do alot better. I went to a Sandals for my honeymoon and I regretted it. Drinks are watered down, food is OK. I was at Sandals Jamaica but thought I might as well be in Sandals Mobile, Alabama with some Bob Marley playing in the background.

I did Sandals in the Bahamas for my honeymoon and didn't think the food was that bad. It wasn't great, but not horrible. And I mostly drank beer during the day and wine at dinner so didn't experience watered down drinks. And the guy at the pool bar always put a rum floater in the Mrs's strawberry dacquiris.
That said, you can do a lot better for around the same price.

yeah concerning the drinks, if I asked they would make it however I liked. But if not one of the mixed specialty drinks were usually not strong.

sandals can be pretty pricey. I wasn't a big fan of the food. we went to the Omni in cancun 2 months ago. it was much cheaper, quicker flight/transport from the airport, and the food was much better. if you want something nice but still very affordable, I'd look there.

I’ll speak to the one the wife and I went to, the Grand St Lucian. Simply put, you get what you pay for. You can do Sandals where you have a private house and wait for nothing and sit wherever. You can do Sandals where it’s a mad dash to put your towel down and claim a chair.

I was planning on a sandals resort for my honeymoon but luckily someone talked me out of it and into couples resorts, specifically couples swept away. Food was very good as were the drinks.
