Sandals South Coast All Inclusive - Couples Only

The property offers exceptional service with friendly staff and excellent rooms, including balconies and over-the-water bungalows. However, some guests noted high-quality windows and doors for safety.

Another wonderful trip to SSC Dec 6-14, 2024. Booked 3 return trips while on site! Ride: The ride is usually about 90 minutes. Yes it’s on winding roads through the mountains which is something to consider if you’re prone to car sickness. We book Sandals private driver. In the past we have taken the provided transfer and it’s great too! We have also used random services but that’s hit and miss with the car. I’m just immunocompromised and try to avoid any extra exposure to illness. On the way back to the airport, I take the provided transfer as I’m not as worried now that my vacation is ending! Our ride there this time was in a very small BMW, I’m only 5’2 and had no legroom behind the driver. I don’t know if they are using smaller cars but this was the first time I’ve felt cramped. This was really one of the only down sides to our trip. For the expensive ride, there should be some comfort as in the past. The driver brings some beer, wine, and snacks for the ride. Our trip this time was about 3 hours due to rush hour and rain so if that bothers you, try for an early arrival to MBJ. Room: We always book the Silver Sun Beachfront One Bedroom Butler Suite - IB1 (in the past it was referred to as the Italian village). This area is near the majority of restaurants! The room is as described on the website. My favorite room is 1428 on the corner. I believe 1328 and 1228 would be the other corner butler rooms that would be good. We like this because we are 7:30ish dinner people and not ready to go out for our night at 5:30 when the sunsets. Depending on the time of year, you cannot see the sunset from your balcony without these corner rooms. In December we could have seen it without a corner room. You can call about 2 weeks before your trip and request a room or better yet a group of rooms you would prefer however there is no guarantee of specific rooms! Remember there really isn’t a bad room and a short walk outside to the beach or even better Latitudes bar offers amazing sunset views! Restaurants: Everyone has different tastes so this is all subject to opinion. I do recommend trying the drink specific to each dinner restaurant! Breakfast: This trip we just chose the buffet everyday (after room service coffee) as my husband prefers this quick option. It was great with a good selection. I was able to get poached eggs with hollandaise sauce placed on my self toasted English muffin so that was nice! My favorite dinner spot is Sushi on the Sand and I say this as “not a real Sushi person.” The appetizers are THE best on the resort. All the sushi I’m brave enough to try is wonderful. Ask for the off menu Dynamite roll and Volcano roll, you won’t be disappointed. Also, nobody there makes it awkward when you decide to order more food—so fill up on Sushi, it really can be done! Ha! We usually go here at least twice. You can just go for appetizers too before dinner. We love seeing Jeffery and Ramoy—our favorite servers there! Sometimes you can catch them d
