"It isn't the most glamorous, or the most upscale, of the Sandals resorts, but the chain's management makes it their flagship." Full review

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.
Concierge
"While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."

Star Service
"This resort may come of as a bit dated in comparison to Breezes, Sandals and the pair of Couples hotels on the beach, but it has a bit more elegance than its sibling Riu Tropical Bay." Full review
