The newest Sandals resort in Jamaica and the first major resort on the south coast, this property is one of the most upscale properties in the chain. The resort consists of several "villages" constructed with Italian, Dutch, and French architectural touches. The resort is surrounded by a 500-acre nature preserve and lies on a 2-mi-long (3-km-long) beach. Pros: great beach with no vendors; numerous dining options and an extensive all-inclusive package that includes airport shuttle; stylish accommodations in all room classes. Cons: some travelers won't like Disneyish re-creation of European styles; dining at other Sandals is available as part of package but there is no transportation to other properties due to distance; Whitehouse area can be bug-ridden and hot.

Not one single negative thing to say. Service, food, and luxury comparable to Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons.
It is in the remote south coast part of Jamaica and you will face a hair rising ride--but it's worth it because the resort does not suffer from the negatives that the resort rich North Coast of Jamaica suffers from i.e., beach vendors, crowds, etc.
Each staff member was spectacular--it takes a lot to impress us--this resort exceeded in every way.
