Best Sandals Resorts - based on reviews

Determining the best Sandals resorts in the Caribbean can be difficult. Sandals has 13 hotels to choose from on various islands including Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Bahamas and Antigua. If you are planning a perfect vacation for you and a loved one to holiday at it isn't easy. Sandals all-inclusive resorts are a popular destination for couples looking for a wedding or honeymoon destination. If you're like me, I want to know which one is the best, so I won't waste thousands of dollars on a disappointing experience.

The best Sandals resorts are going to be best determined by analyzing reviews from thousands of travelers who have stayed at each property. Unlike some lists where the best Sandals resorts are based on one person's opinion, or some supposed expert, unbiased reviews are the best way to get an honest, unbiased, objective rating and ranking.

I am sure Sandals dislikes having their properties rated and ranked, but as a consumer looking at all our options for a great Caribbean vacation this is necessary.

What I did here was use the same metric as I have used before in comparing Sandals vs Couples Resorts, ranking the top 10 all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and ranking Iberostar's resorts and others, check my archives to find more.


So after much research, here is how all the Sandals all-inclusive resorts rated and ranked....

1. Royal Plantation

2. Whitehouse

3. Carlyle Inn

4. Negril Beach Resort & Spa

5. Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island

6. Sandals Montego Bay

7. Sandals Halcyon Beach

8. Sandals Grande Saint Lucian Spa & Beach Resort

9. Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort

10. Sandals La Toc Golf Resort & Spa

11. Sandals Emerald Bay

12. Royal Bahamian

13. Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa

There you have it, now you know which Sandals resort is best. As you can see from the numbers I had to split some hairs to get a ranking but some of these resorts are pretty much even in terms of reviewers ratings. One thing that is clear is that Sandals best resorts are on the Island of Jamaica, the resorts on the other islands are fine resorts, but just not quite at the same level as the Jamaican properties.



If you have read my ranking of the best top 10 all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean you'll see that Sandals doesn't have any properties in the top 10, which says a lot because the Royal Plantation is an amazing luxury resort (check out the video). Incidentally, you'll see a banner link on the right of the screen to the Royal Plantation and a great special they are currently running with 65% off and 1 free night. Enjoy the all-Butler experience at Sandals Royal Plantation in Jamaica! If you want the best Sandals has to offer, the Royal Plantation is far and away Sandals best resort.

Check out the Royal Plantation's special offer and book your best Caribbean vacation ever!

Sandals owns Beaches family resorts also and here I have ranked the Beaches resorts.
