Stuff You Should Know

The room rates fluctuate more dramatically than a soap opera plot - book smartly or redirect to our other nine Jamaica recommendations. The bathrooms are stuck in a 90s makeover that wasn't kind the first time around. But that beach? Pure Caribbean centerfold material. The verandahs are bigger than the rooms, which is less oversight and more divine intervention. Pro tip: Request the Beach Wing unless Sandals Resort is your preferred view. And yes, some guests have returned 32 times - a devotion that makes marriage look commitment-phobic.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

From Formal Finery to Barefoot BBQ

Two dining personalities vie for your appetite: formal restaurant where dress codes still matter (collar enforcement in the Caribbean feels delightfully anachronistic) versus Teddy's beach BBQ where sand between toes is considered seasoning. Food scores a diplomatic 6/10, but the bonfire makes everything taste better. Complimentary cocktail parties offer liquid courage to ask other guests why they've returned for their 23rd visit. Afternoon tea serves tradition with a side of mediocrity, but the setting suggests you shouldn't care. Plus, the beach bar staff will happily enable your lounger-based lifestyle with prompt drink delivery.
