Beaches Sandy Bay ReviewFollowing massive renovations early in the millennium, this ocean-bordering resort evokes Georgian-inspired colonial Jamaica. Spread across 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of lush landscaping, it fronts 305m (1,000 ft.) of white-sand beach that's just a bit less wide than the one in front of its counterpart at Beaches Negril, recommended immediately above. Unlike many Negril resorts, which cater to couples or adults only, this sprawling property caters to singles, couples, and, especially, families with children. The resort is positioned less than a mile from the Beaches Negril , so as such, clients of either of the two resorts often, without charge, use the facilities of the other. Loaded with facilities to divert and amuse children, the resort is laid-back, casual, and less animated and rah-rah than its larger and more "Americanized" Beaches counterpart down the road. This one tends to attract higher percentages of Canadian and European clients who appreciate the relative calm and the decreased emphasis on nightlife options. Since meals are included, it comes as good news that the hotel employs many talented chefs to maintain restaurants that feature both Italian and Caribbean fare -- there's also a beachfront grill. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
