Sandals Resort for Honeymoon?

Has anyone gone to the Sandals Resorts for their honeymoon? I%26#039;ve heard the packages are all inclusive. Was it worth the package price and did you enjoy yourself? How much was your package for you and your husband/wife?

Sandals Resort for Honeymoon?
I think it%26#039;s the luck of the draw. I had a friend who just got back from their honeymoon at the Sandals St. Lucia and didn%26#039;t really enjoy it. The person who claims how luxurious must be a Sandals representative! I%26#039;m not saying they didn%26#039;t have a good time, but they felt a little awkward the entire time. They mentioned the food not being all that great, but that there was PLENTY of it. The room wasn%26#039;t really clean, mold on sink and tub. You can look at tripadvisor and read reviews, lots of people complain of bugs and mold.





Might be great for a couple in their early 20%26#039;s and who aren%26#039;t expecting too much and aren%26#039;t making enough money to pay for something a little nicer.
Reply:they are truly all inclusive! and luxurious! and you will feel spoiled and pampered! its a grand idea for a honeymoon! let them know its your honeymoon and they may throw in some little extras!


the only extra funds you will need will be for souvenirs or taxis and purchases made outside the resort!


happy wedding!
Reply:My good friend went to Sandals Royal Bahamas for her honeymoon. She said it was a fun vacation and everything was included BUT she regretted not doing something a little bit nicer for her honeymoon. According to her, the Sandals she visited was somewhat dirty and rundown. (Maybe they%26#039;re not all like that, I don%26#039;t know.) She said it seemed more like a spring break destination than the place to go for a romantic honeymoon. She paid $3500 for 1 week.
Reply:I LOVE Sandals resorts... have been to three in Jamaica, and, yes, they are TRULY All-Inclusive.... meals, drinks, activities, and no tipping! Once you%26#039;ve paid the trip total, you%26#039;ll only have to worry about money for souvenirs. The trip will cost you anywhere from 1800-4000, there are too many variables, such as where you%26#039;d be flying from, the time of year, and the room category you select.
Reply:We went to Sandals Ocho Rios in Jamaica.





It really is all inclusive. No lies. The only things that aren%26#039;t included are tours and spa, which they say upfront.





We paid $2800 for a week. It was the best time. There is plenty to do on the resorts, lots of activities and sports. We also did three tours which cost about $400 total. The rooms are large (we had the lowest grade room), the staff was friendly and helpful, you don%26#039;t tip anyone which is so great! The food is good and there were a variety of places to eat.





Now it isn%26#039;t super luxurious or modern as someone else pointed out, but everything was clean, the food was good and people were friendly. I didn%26#039;t think it was like a spring break resort at all, but it was more geared towards fun rather than luxury or fine dining.
Reply:My husband and I spent 7 days at Sandals St. Lucia and 7 days at Sandals Antigua for our honeymoon, and went to Sandals Royal Bahamian for our one year anniversary. I loved all of them. We are planning a trip to another resort, possibly Jamaica, soon.





They really are all-inclusive, down to the drinks. There are a couple of things that aren%26#039;t included, like the spa, but they are very upfront about that. There are plenty of things to do, we have yet to get bored at any resort! With all the other people being couples, it was very easy to meet people, and also easy to just spend some alone time together. We also received several gifts for going there on our honeymoon. We had a beautiful basket on the day we arrived, little special things along the way, and we received a very nice set of luggage.





I highly recommend it!
