Your Travels

Resort Experience:

This trip was lovely. We had such a wonderful time as a family and made so many great memories! Eventide 4BR Villa, room 1014 was great! Beautiful space and great location. The small/single bunk room and bathroom is very small and very difficult to climb into top bunk. The window faces the “hallway” and the hall lights shine brightly through the window onto your face all night as the shades do not cover the window well. The mattress is very uncomfortable, but the pillows are amazing! Our air conditioning stopped working one night after burgers had left. Maintenance never came that night and acted very annoyed when we called to ask for help. Same thing happened the next day. Our safe wouldn’t open one day. It took hours for maintenance to come help and my dad missed part of our dinner reservation waiting for them. The butlers did a great job of securing our spots on the beach and pool each day, making it special with champagne and juice a few times. They were both very nice and fun and friendly. Follow through with butlers, room service, photo shop etc was mediocre. It took 4 days of asking for 2 pots of coffee at 6am (there were 10 people) for them to finally bring 2 pots on the 5th day. Photo shop and butler both promised a photographer to be present at live cooking and it never happened. Water for CPAP machine was not there as requested on at app ahead of time. Asked for it upon check in and it never came, so my brother in law could not use his machine to sleep the first night. Pillow top was requested for pull out ahead of time and upon check in. It was never delivered or put on the bed when it was made. Reservation was to be made with one butler for glass bottom boat and it was never actually made. They did compensate with private boat tour. We were told this would be a 2-2.5 hour tour to Ricks and to snorkel. When we got on the boat they told us no, it was a 1 hour tour and snorkeling only. Lots of little things that we were told would be done, and just never followed through with. As I stated before, this was an amazing trip, but for the cost of $30,000 and a trip that was considered my parents “last trip” as they are not in good health, I feel everything should have been close to perfect.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Beth is always amazing and attentive. I shared her contact info with the people I sat on the plane ride home with. Everyone needs to use her!

Resort Experience:

Saint Lucia is a beautiful volcanic island. We opted for the helicopter ride to the resort to save on travel time and start with an excursion. It was Welcome home week for returning Sandals Selct members. The Grand went all out! The first night was the returning guest dinner. The tables were set up fancy like we were going to a tropical wedding. The had a good buffet with oysters, crab legs, shrimp and much more. Live entertainment and we sat with some great guests. The second day I partakes in the paint and sip and we enjoyed the sunset catamaran trip all for the special weeks activities. Lots of dancing drinks and enjoyed meeting all the staff. Day 3 we went on a private boat trip with our new friends. This included sulfur mud bathes, waterfall, lunch, and 2 snorkel locations. The final day of the party was at the beach. They had a live band, desserts, rum tasting bar, and drink stand. The surprise was a fire show at the end. If that wasn’t enough fun we went to the Friday night street party with our new friends. We took in the Saint Lucia culture and had a blast! We also did the Island Routed dune buggy tour of the North coast. We saw a golf course that Micheal Jordan played at a few weeks prior!

I enjoyed the spa one day, scuba diving was amazing, and Joe rented a jet ski and went golfing. This resort is top notch. Every employee that we met was so friendly and welcoming. The grounds are pretty and well maintained. I’d steer people away from the rooms closest to Pigeon island as we heard complaints of noise from locals.

I highly recommend Welcome home week. I can’t believe it’s taken us 10 trips to figure this out. Can’t wait for our free week in Saint Vincent! Thank you Beth for taking great care of us once again!

Resort Experience:

Our trip was absolutely amazing! We met some “forever” friends at the resort. We took advantage of the all inclusive golf and golfed 4 out of the 7 days we were there. We also participated in all of the welcome week festivities.

I had two complaints. The resort is in need of some remodeling and a facelift. Second, the resort cancelled some of the afternoon activities with no communication, and they cancelled the white night/ headphones party on Friday. There was zero communication for the cancellation and even some of their staff had no idea the white party wasn’t going to happen!

VibeGetaways Experience:

The service Beth provided was great! She was very informative and had all of of our documents to us in a nice packet and in order.

The ONLY reason I will no longer use Beth or Vibe Getaways is because I am now a travel advisor and will be booking my own trips. Thank you for everything you did for me on this vacation!

Resort Experience:

Our wedding was nothing short of magical! Every detail was perfect. The resort was gorgeous. I couldn’t have asked anything more!

VibeGetaways Experience:

Beth @ VibeGetaways was absolutely AMAZING! She was super responsive and engaged, and pulled a few miracles! I look forward to working with her in the future!

Resort Experience:

As always we really enjoyed our time at sandals. We were able to unplug and really enjoy ourselves. We always love staying at Sandals, and will for sure be back.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Incredible! Denise is always so helpful.

Resort Experience:

The resort experience was very good. There were a couple of dining experiences where the service could have been much better, but the host or hostess made up for it. We also felt the water sports could have offered a few more amenities as advertised, such as glass bottom boats.

90% of the staff were very nice and went out of their way to make your experience memorable.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Our travel agent Beth Wisowaty (Vibes) was outstanding! She went above and beyond what we would have expected. She answered every question we had, even those that would have probably aggravated anyone else. Beth also helped us reschedule our vacation to a later date and was helpful in bringing the cost down to what we had originally planned. She is definately someone I would recommend to others planning a Sandals vacation.

Resort Experience:

Excellent. The people were amazing and welcoming. The service was top notch! There was something to do each night. We made great friends there.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Great!

Resort Experience:

Overall trip was a solid 4.5 out of 5 or 9/10. Food was definitely some of the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive, the resort was beautiful, the beach amazing, service was impeccable. Only recommendation to Sandals is to change their beach and pool seat reserving policy and the pink gin rooms need a bit of a refresh.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Wonderful, no issues and everything was made clear by Erin.

Resort Experience:

We had an excellent trip. The food was amazing and the resort was so peaceful. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Totally recommend this resort

VibeGetaways Experience:

Excellent

Resort Experience:

Overall, the resort was wonderful! The people of Jamaica make the trip for sure. The view from our room was stunning, the butlers were really attentive, and the food variety was really great. We do wish that many of the restaurants open only at night, we’re also open during the day, to give a variety for the lunch hour. We also wish that the shuttle ran to Sandals Ocho more often than just at night. The entertainment was a bit repetitive for the week that we were there, but all in all these small items that could’ve been a little bit better didn’t overshadow how beautiful the resort is and again how wonderful people are.

VibeGetaways Experience:

Beth with VibeGetaways was hands down one of the biggest blessings we had in planning this trip. We’ve never used a travel agent before, but Beth came recommended from a family friend. From helping us keep things organized and top of mind as we were heading into our honeymoon, to the recommendation of club MoBay, and downloading the customs app for returning, both our entries into each of the countries went unbelievably smooth and quick. It took a big weight off our shoulders having those in place, especially given it was my first time out of the country. We can’t thank you enough, and will surely be in touch in the future when we plan to book another Sandals or Beaches trip, and if other family and friends need a travel agent!
