It is time to get traveling again after this quarantine craziness! We finally ran off to Jamaica and we couldn't be happier. We love Sandals resorts, much like Disney, there is a consistency in maintenance and quality of service that is unparalleled in the travel industry. We know we will be in a clean, safe environment throughout our stay. This trip we chose Sandals Royal Caribbean. Sandals has two resorts five minutes from the airport in Montego Bay and this was important to me on this trip because of the pandemic. A bus ride across the island would just add more opportunities for concern.
Sandals Royal Caribbean is the smaller of the two resorts. The common areas and many rooms on the resort have been remodeled and the new brighter woods and aesthetics show. This resort allows exchange privileges with Sandals Montego Bay. So you pay to stay at one and can take a complimentary transfer available every hour to the other resort where you will be extended the same privileges of a person staying there. This means you can use their bars, pools, and restaurants with no need to provide any proof. Since the beaches here are private, only Sandals guests are on the property.
Great new addition, large swings overlooking the ocean We got to see an engagement at this spot and I swear the Sandals employees were just as excited!
One unique facet of this resort that Joe and I love is the private island. This is a quick five-minute boat ride from the beach to the Sandals island. The island has its own bar (of course) and a few quiet beach chair spots throughout. There is a Jamaican Jerk Shack for lunch and a delicious Royal Thai restaurant for dinner. The boat transfers back and forth every 10-15 minutes.
I sat in the shade and read a book for the day, an employee checked in to bring drinks throughout the day.
We celebrated 25 years of marriage in these crystal blue waters, let us know what anniversary we can help you celebrate! dillontravels@gmail.com
