The entertainment staff was amazing. Kayce, Michael, and Amanda put together a ton of great activities. The water show with the fire was the best show I have ever seen at a sandals
Had a lovely 2 weeks, we stayed in the sunset bluff rooms, they are lovely and modern and a quiet area.
There is lots to do if you want to join in or just have a quiet time. There are lots of sun beds at the pools and the beach, no issues at all.
The food was good, we booked through the club lounge who were very helpful. There is the cafe in the square when you can grab ice creams.
The beach is stunning.
All the staff we fantastic, very welcoming. A special shout out to Stacey and Lawrence who work at Bayside, they are amazing at there job always service with a smile. Also so Alexa who worked the bars, pools and beach, she is a real credit, always brought us drinks never had to ask she knew what we liked.
Thank you for a great stay.

The resort is phenomenal, the employees are beyond helpful, smiling and greeting you everywhere. We also did a scrub and massage in the spa and it so inviting and relaxing. Other guests also are friendly. A tropical vacation to unwind and relax.
We had an absolutely incredible stay and can't recommend this resort enough! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.
The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds, amazing pools, breathtaking views, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a Sunset Bluff room, and it was absolutely worth it. Waking up to the ocean views and watching the sunsets each evening made our trip even more special. The food and drinks were fantastic throughout our stay. Every restaurant offered delicious meals, and there was always a great variety to choose from. The cocktails were equally impressive and were the perfect complement to relaxing by the pool or beach.
A special thank you to Charmantha, who truly made our vacation unforgettable. She served us the most delicious coffee each morning at the café and also took great care of us at the pizza restaurant. She was always so friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and her genuine kindness made every interaction a pleasure. Team members like Charmantha are what make a great resort exceptional.
Overall, we had an amazing vacation and left with wonderful memories. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway with excellent food, drinks, accommodations, and outstanding service. We can't wait to come back!

The entire experience was great from food to atmosphere. The dive certification and dives I took was outstanding. Miguel was a fabulous teacher and dive master to show us and teach us the locations to dive at. It was a great experience :)
