Fodor's "Four miles (6 km) east of the airport, this elegant resort consists of Jamaican-style buildings arranged in a semicircle around attractive gardens." Full review
Star Service "This upscale hotel challenges the pre-eminence of the paramount pair here, Round Hill and Tryall, with service that is just as prompt and polite, and dining gets better every year." Full review

Repeat guests often request the Ocean Junior Suites thanks to their up-close-and-personal ocean views.
Star Service "This hotel is more sophisticated and reserved than its lower-priced siblings, Sandals Inn and Sandals Montego Bay, and the only one that comes with its own private island." Full review

If updated accommodations are important, request those in the Clarence building or the posh St. James River Suites.
The Telegraph7.0
"The private island's brand new over-water villas are what set the Sandals Royal Caribbean property apart from the six other Sandals resorts in Jamaica." Full review
Frommer's "The Sandals private island just offshore is done as an ersatz slice of the Orient...Asia-meets-South Pacific, with Balinese-style thatched beach cabanas, a lagoon pool, and a Royal Thai restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet "The lobby of couples-only Sandals, done up in Georgian accents, really lays on the nostalgia for the British Empire." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Delivers a sleek jetsetter vibe...this Sandals is known for its roaming on-site peacocks, sunset catamaran tours, swim-up suites, personal butlers, and importantly, a truly all-inclusive rate"
