SANDALS WHITEHOUSE
This is the last Sandals to be built from scratch and has been open since Feb 10, 2005. I spent a week there last December and it was fantastic. This is the best beach of any Sandals and has the watersports to go with it. And with 1400 beach and pool chairs, you never have to worry about finding a place to relax. The beach is so large, there are plenty of places to lounge in privacy.
The food is plentiful, but the best place for lunch and afternoon snacks is Bluefields, for great jerk chicken, burgers, etc. It is on the beach at the French Village and offers great views of the water and sunsets. The patisserie is very popular for those after-meal treats such as fresh-baked cookies, pies, torts and more.
In the evening you can enjoy the sing-along piano in the martini bar as well as special nights such as carnival, when the Montego Bay Boys and Girls Drum and Bugle Marching Band performs. A real treat. Also, savor the delicious chocolate and coffee bar on Tuesday nights at 11p and on Fridays at 11p you can have fun at the seafood and martini tables set up in the main piazzi.
Many people think the isolation of Whitehouse is a drawback. Quite the contrary. The 50 acres of resort offer plenty to do and it's a real pleasure to have a 1/2 mile beach that is truly private. For those wanting to explore outside the resort, there are lots of interesting excursions such as visiting the Appleton Rum Factory, going up river on a camera safari to 'hunt' crocodiles, climbing YS Falls, river rafting and tubing and the newest attraction...the Canopy Tour, where you 'tour' the jungle across the tree-tops on a cable as you cross streams, gullies and beautiful scenery.
BEST BUY
Our recommended 'Best Buy' right now is the newly remodeled Sandals Grande Riviera...formerly Sandals Grande Ocho Rios. After a $60 million make-over, this resort is amazing. There are now 15 restaurants, remodeled rooms and suites, remodeled spas, redone beach club, firepits, etc. It's hard to describe all that has been done. I was just there for a week and was blown away. I've been to this resort many times and the changes are incredible...almost like being at a new resort. The best way to see this is to look at the resort on the website and see for yourself. Past guests will be very impressed.
There are presently several promotions in effect...from air credits to spa credits to complimentary excursions at select resorts. Since these change constantly, it's best to call us for all the latest offers.
