Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club Review

Although this resort is for anyone—including singles and couples—it's best suited for families, whose children enjoy supervised activities in one of five kids' clubs divided by age, from infants to teens. Some rooms have pull-out sofas, and there are also connecting rooms for large families. Children under age two stay free, and special rates cover children under age 16 sharing a room with a parent. The all-inclusive program here is extensive (including golf and a golf school) and includes activities for all members of the family as well as nightly activities. Some rooms were redecorated in 2011 with a contemporary, natural chic look.

    Stayed at Beaches Boscobel during Hurricane Dean. Staff was professional, emergency plans were well executed. All in all, food was great, drinks were great. Yeah, someone offered marijuana, but no pressure. The only negative was the Rude Americans demanding to go home immediately (even heard it's "Life or Death!!". That was quite embarrassing for me. Locals were hanging out near the pier, but all were friendly and offered low pressure sales in their little shops, no biggie. Due to the hurricane, we were unable to get out of the resort for additional activities, but since Sandals has given us a completely free second vacation (hurricane warranty), I'm sure we'll be back to soak in all the rest. Have to say we loved it. The locals were so friendly. I actually enjoy soaking up local culture both good and bad.
