FYI: We stayed at Beaches Sandy Bay 4 days and Sandals Negril for 4 days. Most of this review will focus on BSB. Although the property of Sandals is more elaborate and couple-oriented, we preferred the size and friendliness of BSB. Guests at Sandals kept to themselves and were sometimes snobby. We ran into many Sandals guests like ourselves returning... more

I really don't understand the negative reviews. Sandy Bay was FANTASTIC!! I arrived and found flowers, as well as a cheese and cracker tray in my room. The staff was AMAZING -- many recognized me when I would walk up and multiple times a day they asked how my vacation was going and if anything could be done better. There... more

Beaches Sandy Bay 06/02/08-06/09/08 Just another relaxing trip back to BSB before our kids REALLY grow up! We chose BSB again since we all agreed in 2005 that this was a very good place to sit back, relax, and regroup. The resort is small in comparison to the other Beaches resorts that I have either been to (only Beaches Negril)... more

We stayed at Beaches Sandy Bay for a week and it was lovely. Upon arriving and getting our bags at the airport we found ourselves in our very own Sandals/Beaches section to await transportation to the hotel where there was a soda machine, beer and coffee available. I thought that was a nice touch. The airport porter brought our bags... more

I was pleasantly surprised with my recent stay at Beaches Sandy Bay! My wife had booked the hotel and she kept saying Beaches so I thought it was the big brother to our hotel. When she gave me the confirmation and Isaw that it was Sandy Bay I looked up some reviews on Tripadvisor and became a little nervous at... more

Me, my husband and our 2,5 y.o daughter stayed at Sandy Bay Beaches in July 2006. I picked this resort because it’s kids oriented and I wanted my daughter to have fun. She used to be so fond of Sesame Street that I thought she would really enjoy all the characters this resort is filled with. And my expectations were... more

I don't know how Beaches became # 1 for 12 years in a row, it is a HUGE RIP-OFF. My wife, my 2-yr old daughter and I just completed a 7-day vacation at Beaches Sandy Bay & Negril, Jamaica and we were VERY DISAPPOINTED !! People beware, this IS NOT what it's portrayed to be. It was an all-inclusive trip... more

The resort is great for a nice, relaxing vacation. I took my teenage daughter to Beaches Sandy Bay as a way for us to get away and relax without thinking constantly about the pressures of every day life. The staff here is wonderful. From the moment you're greeted with a drink and personalized service (I do so adore not having... more

Just returned from Sandy Bay. No problems with the flight on Air Jamaica or check in at the Beaches desk at the airport. The drive to the resort was quick and safe. Check in was a breeze thanks to Christopher at the front desk, who after a cool towel and a drink wisked us to our room. The room was... more
