Which Sandals Resort in Jamaica Is the Best? Let’s Find Out!
One of the most common questions we get at Destination Fun Travel is: “Which Sandals Resort in Jamaica is the best?” The truth? It depends on you—your travel style, your preferences, and the kind of vacation you’re dreaming about.
Sandals Resorts are adults-only and focus primarily on couples. Every room features a king-size bed, creating the ultimate romantic escape. But each resort has its own vibe, location, and highlights. So before diving into the details, we like to ask a few important questions:
-
Are you more of a beach or pool person?
-
How long do you plan to stay?
-
What’s your ideal budget?
-
Do you prefer laid-back independence or being pampered at every turn?
These answers help us match you with the perfect resort—and determine whether to recommend a concierge room or a butler suite, depending on your budget and service preferences.
I’ve personally visited every single Sandals and Beaches Resort, and I’m excited to give you an inside look at each Sandals Resort in Jamaica.

Great deals at Sandals 7 resorts! Check out these over the water bungalows at Sandals South Coast in Jamaica!
🌊Sandals Montego Bay
Closest to the airport, this resort is perfect for shorter stays. While its original swim-up bar is more nostalgic than iconic, it’s still a beautiful beachfront resort with high energy and gorgeous views. Guests love to toast the planes as they fly overhead—a fun tradition!
🏝️ Sandals Royal Caribbean
Also, near the airport, this resort shares exchange privileges with Montego Bay. But its standout feature is the private island, where you’ll find overwater bungalows and tranquil vibes. A perfect blend of elegance and exotic!
🌊 Sandals South Coast
Formerly Sandals Whitehouse, this peaceful retreat is about 90 minutes from the airport. Nearly every room faces the beach, and while no beach in Jamaica is officially private, this one feels like it is. South Coast is also home to breathtaking overwater bungalows—one of my personal favorites!
🌴 Sandals Negril
Situated on Jamaica’s famous 7 Mile Beach, this resort is great for beach lovers who enjoy a bit of adventure. Guests can stroll down the beach to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville and take a short drive to Rick’s Café to see the legendary cliff diving.
💧 Sandals Dunn’s River
A newer addition to the Sandals family, Dunn’s River features modern luxury and amazing room categories. Located near Ocho Rios, it offers great access to excursions like Dunn’s River Falls, bamboo rafting, and the Blue Hole.
🌺 Sandals Ochi
This large and lively resort has two distinct sections: beachfront and hillside butler suites. It’s a fantastic value and one of the best ways to experience Sandals’ butler-level service at a more accessible price point. This lively resort offers fun around every corner!
👑 Sandals Royal Plantation
An all-butler, all-suite resort with a boutique feel. While the beach here is smaller, the personalized attention is unmatched. Ideal for those who love elegance, quiet, and five-star service.
