Frommer's Review

If you like a resort where everything's paid in advance and you virtually live in a walled compound with lots of organized activities, this might be for you. After years of refusing to admit homosexual couples, Sandals is now open to all, regardless of sexual preference. On one of the island's best beaches, the resort offers eight different room categories, most of which are medium-size. Some of the more romantic ones offer four-poster beds and ocean views. Typical amenities include small patios and plush mattresses. If you want honeymoon privacy, opt for a cottage suite (because of its octagonal shape, the staff calls it a rondavel) opening directly onto Dickenson Beach.

A quintet of bars and restaurants serve everything from Tex-Mex to sushi. Il Palio's Italian specialties are particularly good, and the beachfront restaurant is another excellent spot for meals.

Facilities:
5 restaurants; 5 bars; 5 outdoor pools; 5 whirlpools; 2 tennis courts; fitness center; spa (spa services not included in all-inclusive rate); watersports; laundry service; rooms for those w/limited mobility
