This was our 5th stay at Southcoast, the grounds are beautiful. You never feel crowded, lots of room on beaches and at anyone of the 3 pools. We stayed in a newly remodeled Longbeach swim up room. Room was very comfortable, excellent improvements to room design, storage for clothing etc. Restaurants were hit or miss, our favourites were Eleanor’s,… Read more
This was our 5th stay at Southcoast, the grounds are beautiful. You never feel crowded, lots of room on beaches and at anyone of the 3 pools. We stayed in a newly remodeled Longbeach swim up room. Room was very comfortable, excellent improvements to room design, storage for clothing etc. Restaurants were hit or miss, our favourites were Eleanor’s, Schooners, Jasmine and Bayside (breakfast and lunch). Neptunes and Giuseppe’s were less than favourable. Overall I would say our stay was 8.5/10. Staff were by far the shining star of our stay. Read less

We had a wonderful vacation at Sandals South Coast. The resort is beautiful and the staff were amazing. The minute we stepped off the bus from a long travel day. We were welcomed so warmly. All the food was delicious and drinks or tasty. Let me see you see it now. Shamar and Sandre were amazing butlers!

The housekeeping staff was very friendly and took care of our needs. The concierges in the Club were helpful and friendly. The pools were nice and clean and the perfect temperature. The beach was clean but with the sea grass so thick you really can’t go out past waist deep in the ocean. Good restaurants, good bar service. The girls at the Loyalty lounge are always nice and friendly. We will be back next year for our 5 th trip”home”. Read less

Shout out to Kevon for great aqua fit classes in the main pool. The class was held Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Let's get Tuesday and Thursday on the schedule for 5 days per week moving forward!! It was a lot of fun and a great workout. I believe back in the day it was Monday thru Friday.

My wife and I enjoyed our eleventh trip to Sandals South Coast and have already booked our return for next year. We went scuba diving every day. We had previously completed our certification with Andre Pusey and worked with him on almost all of our dives. He always makes people feel welcome and demonstrates knowledge and professionalism. We recommended several couples to try Discover Scuba diving and work with Andre. We were delighted to dive another year with Carlton, Byron and Everett. We worked with our awesome butler team, Jermaine and Leon. They arranged for the lunches we craved after diving to be brought to our room or direct to the dive shop when we had training. They fixed whatever little issues we had without a second thought. Ophelia took beautiful photos of us at sunset. She has a great eye and a creative vision for photos. Ask for her to take the best pictures on the resort. We loved the food. We ate at Sushi on the Sand twice (excellent waiters both times: Rakeem and Ramoy). Ramoy arranged for special rolls from Chef Gemlord -- so good. Looking forward to another visit in 2025. Read less
