Fodor's Expert Review Sandy Bay Beach Resort

Norman Manley Blvd., Negril, Westmoreland, Jamaica

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This family-friendly resort is not as expansive as its sister property, Beaches Negril Resort & Spa; however, it's more economical and gives families full privileges—from the water parks to the restaurants—at its more expensive sister resort. There's even a free shuttle between the properties. You can find a wide variety of rooms here, from two-level suites with kitchenettes and living rooms to standard rooms sized for a family of four. As at other Beaches resorts, Sesame Street characters roam the grounds here and are available for special bookings such as breakfast and tuck-in service.

PROS

  • moderate price
  • great location
  • airport shuttle
  • extensive children's program

CONS

  • smallish pools can get crowded
  • meal option somewhat limited
