For my husband and I’s 14th anniversary, I decided to take him on a trip to Sandals Jamaica South Coast. I picked this location because I wanted a hotel that offered over-water bungalows and was not such a far flight as going to Bora Bora. I did lots of research and found Sandals Hotel Resorts.
Sandals offer various locations, but only Sandals South Coast, Sandals Royal Caribbean, and Sandals Saint Lucian offer the over-water bungalows. I chose the South Coast location because it is slightly further out of the airport, giving it more of an intimate destination. Sandals Caribbean is about 15 minutes from the main airport, and you have access to the other Sandals hotels in the area if you stay there. That is the one plus side to the Caribbean location because you get the benefits of all three of the nearby resorts. But, I like that South Coast was more secluded with a 1-hour scenic drive to get there.
I consider this hotel one of the best places where you can de-stress, relax, and reignite your and your partner’s connection. I recommend its beautiful beachfront views and perfectly landscaped courtyards inspired by Dutch, Italian, and French architecture.
Sandals Jamaica South Coast is also known as Jamaica’s #1 All-Beachfront and All-Oceanview Resort. It is located within a 500-acre nature preserve and is the only resort in the Sandals Whitehouse Jamaica area. Sandals is also an Adults-Only Resort. Its top-notch views and lavish amenities are a Caribbean charm that makes for a perfect venue for weddings, honeymoons, or even a romantic retreat for couples.
