Need Sandals feedback

I am trying to decide on a honeymoon destination.  My finacee and I have looked at Sandals and like the all-inclusive aspect and the activites but are having trouble picking a resort as their are SO many to choose from!  We are looking for a great beach, cool room, good service and a little nightlife.  We thought the Antigua resort looks nice but I'd love to get feedback from anyone out there whose gone to any of the Sandals resorts.  Please help us narrow down our search!

    H and I have been to Montego Bay and Antigua.  Montego Bay was awful.  Antigua was pretty nice.  The resort was beautiful and we had a good time.  I have full reviews of both on Trip Advisor.  If you want the links, PM me and I can send them.

  • we spent two weeks at Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica and loved it. it kind of is what you make it. if you want to be by yourselves the whole time there is certainly enough privacy. but if you want to participate in activities (they have different beach volleyball tournaments, games, scavenger hunts, etc every day) or the nighttime theme parties dinners (beach bonfire, white night, karaoke, etc.) there is always something going on. plus there are always the pools, snorkeling, water skiing, etc. to do.

    we were totally happy with the service, activities, and restaurant selection. i constantly hear that sandals is overpriced, but TBH we loved it so much that i wouldnt ever risk staying at another resort to find out. its worth it to us.

  • We went to Royal Bahamian and it was fantastic!  Great dancing and music in the pub everytime, great other couples to become friends with and the private offshore island was priceless, could have spent everyday there.

    Plus you're just a short cab ride away from Atlantis which is a sight to be seen.

  • We are getting married next year and we are planning on doing a Sandals honeymoon.  We are friends with two couples who have been on Sandals honeymoons, one in St. Lucia and one in the Bahamas and they both LOVED them!  They had the butler service and said it was the greatest thing ever.  We are having a really hard time decided which Sandals we would like to go to.

  • We've been to the 3 Sandals in St. Lucia. Of the 3, we preferred the Grande. We are going to Antiqua in 2012 and heard the beach is the best out of all the Sandals resorts.

  • We booked the emerald bay for our HM. Before deciding I had read tons of great reviews.
  • We are considering the Sandals in Antigua. The island looks amazing.
  • my aunt and uncle LOVE sandals whitehouse...they've been twice and have nothing bad to say. Also, they only stayed in a luxury room, so if you are planning to get concierge or butler, I'm sure it would be even better for you!
  • We just booked Sandals Antigua for April of 2011 - I'm so excited!!! I think any of them would be fine - you'll hear positive and negative things about all of them - so I'd just check out the details for each of them and make a decision based on details that are important to you... length/price of flights to get there, commute from airport to resort (I have heard bad things about how long it takes in St Lucia), the pools, the beach, available excursions outside of the resort, how new or old the resort is, number/kind of restaurants and bars... lots to consider!

    Have fun & good luck! :)

  • We are going to Sandals Antigua in May 2011 and are VERY excited!!! Like pp have said, youll hear good and bad things about all of them, but I think overall any sandals you decide to go to will be great!
