We returned to South Coast for our first time since 2006 when we stayed there initially. It was fun to see how much things have changed or some areas have not changed at all. I had always said Sandals Whitehouse had been my favorite All-Inclusive resort and after staying there again (with the name change to South Coast) I can confidently say, it still is my favorite!! We stayed in Longbeach in one of the new 1-bedroom butler suites. The room did not disappoint. We loved everything about that room. This was our 10th trip to Jamaica, seventh time at a Sandals property. We have never experienced having butlers before. We didn’t really know what to expect with them. Our butlers did fine, Shamar and Ackeem. We are fiercely independent people so having a butler really wasn’t for us, but in the future if we treat ourselves to the 1-bedroom suite again, we will be a little more familiar when to call on them and when we’d just rather go get our own drinks/food. Every single staff member we came in contact with were all super nice!!!! It was impossible for me to remember everyone’s names but Alicia really stands out. She was every where on the resort mingling with people and picking up trash where needed. Tenille was always super sweet. Our server, Lisa, at Schooners was also great. We had asked for her to be our server for our candlelight dinner on the beach but unfortunately it was a downpour of rain that evening so we just ended up going to Eleanors for the evening meal. Overall the food was fine…nothing spectacular but nothing bad either. My husband’s favorite meal was from one of the food trucks where he had fish tacos. My favorite meal was at lunch as well when the butler brought us deep fat fried shrimp with a sweet chili sauce. We always enjoyed our breakfast at Bayside as well. We only ate at Bayside one time for lunch and wish we would have ate there a few more times. Our trip from the airport to the resort took about an hour and 45 minutes. The first half was really rough but the second half was nice and smooth. We only signed up for Club Mobay on arrival. On our last trip to Jamaica we had it both on arrival and departing. We were very glad we had it on arrival this time, as we arrived with 3 other planes. But departing, we’d rather not have it. We enjoy people watching in the airport and the cost for departure is more than we spend on food/drinks while waiting for our flight. The only downside for us going in October to Jamaica was the heat and humidity. Definitely the hottest and most humidity that we have had in all of our trips there. We generally travel in January but I wanted to spend my birthday in Jamaica and not wait until January. Read less

Southcoast is hands down one of my favorite resorts. Staff was great! Food good. The location from the airport is the worst part. The roads are rough and it’s a long trip. If you are strictly beach people this might not be for you. While the beach is long and offers amazing views, getting into the water the seaweed is thick and not easy. The pool… Read more

15 October to 25 October This trip was a split stay. The following review covers both portions. Our first five nights were spent in the Dutch Village - as we still call it. The room was lovely though we prefer tables and chairs in the balcony rather than the soaking tub, which is most uncomfortable. Sailing is our priority. Unfortunately, the boats are in need of some love, though two boats had new sails. The Getaway was out of commission for the entire trip. The Water Crew continues to be amazing. All of them! All the time. In all weathers. Attentive, joyful and beyond helpful. The Reggae Cruise on Soul Rebel is a must. The Reunion Luncheons at Jasmine’s and Sushi on the Sand were lovely: great food, Attentive staff and great conversations. Breakfasts at Schooner’s lunch at the Jerk Shack and dinners at Eleanor’s. Terry is a masterful chef. The second half of our stay was in the Italian Village. Ting - the fluffy grey cat known by many names - greeted us each morning. The folks at the Craft Village were welcoming. I even learned to make a coaster- with much guidance. The primary reasons we return to SSC are the sailing and the people. We had wonderful conversations with O’Brian the General Manager and look forward to his touch on this resort. Alyssia tends to the matters at hand without blinking. The following list is woefully incomplete, but we cherish Koil, Ric, Oliver,KenRoy, Rayon, CashWayne, Brown, Javon, Maxlin, Robinson, Jay, Kimberly, Jeff, Jekyl, Felicia, Trician, Shaneil, Trevia, Marlette, Cleon, Izodale, Carla, Fabian, Marlene, Tameika, Shaneika, Alesthia, Shawnna Lee and so many more. The kind gentleman at the Craft Village said of our return trips. “Your soul is buried in the sand in Jamaica.” Thank you for replenishing our souls. Read less

The Resort was positively Heaven. Traveling from the airport to resort and back was a bit scary during to Road conditions. Other than that it was a great trip!
