This is by far our best holiday through Club Class Concierge. The best hotel we have ever stayed in, even better than Vegas last year. Next year we are off to the Maldives

I just want to point out some things. Basically this is definitely not a five star ultra all-inclusive hotel, for what you expect from Sandals, this does not live up to your expectations.

Submitted By: woodruffgray
Well, the centre was gorgeous beyond belief. It was our honeymoon but unfortunately the centre as described in the brochure was not ala Carte and it was not all branded drinks as it displays in the brochure. To make up for this people are fantastic and the coastline is paradise.

8/10
