🌴 Where the sunsets are stunning, the cocktails flow freely, and the worries? Left at the airport. ✈️

Tucked away on Jamaica’s untouched southern coast, Sandals South Coast is an adults-only, all-inclusive haven that feels like something out of a daydream. With heart-shaped overwater bungalows, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical surroundings, this resort blends luxury with serenity in a way that’s simply unforgettable.

Let’s take a look at what makes this resort so magical—from my personal stay to what YOU can expect when you visit. 🌊💕

💤 Rooms & Suites – One-Of-A-Kind Accommodations

Whether you're booking a Rondoval Villa, a Swim-Up Suite, or going all out with an Overwater Bungalow, you’re in for a next-level stay that redefines relaxation and romance. 💕

🛏️ I recently stayed in a Long Beach Club Level Room, and let me tell you—I’m still dreaming about it:

King-size bed with plush linens
Walk-in rainfall shower 🚿
Tranquility Soaking Tub on the balcony (paired with a fruity drink and a fantasy romance novel = actual heaven) 🍹📚

🌊 With water flowing around and beneath many of the rooms, the gentle sound of the waves becomes your personal soundtrack.

During my stay, I also had the chance to tour the gorgeous Rondoval Villas and the iconic Overwater Bungalows—and WOW. ✨

They are NEXT. LEVEL. LUXURY. Private, serene, and ridiculously romantic. If you're looking to level up your vacation or honeymoon, this is the place to splurge.

📸 Trust me, your Instagram won’t be ready for this much awesome!

🍽️ Dine Around the World – Always Included

You will not go hungry here. With 9 incredible restaurants, Sandals South Coast is a foodie’s paradise.

Here were a few of my faves:

🍣 Sushi on the Sand – Fresh sushi, ocean breeze, and a front-row seat to paradise.

🌶️ The Jerk Shack – Authentic Jamaican spice! Ask for it extra hot if you're feeling bold.

🍛 Eleanor’s – Elegant West Indian flavors and romantic vibes.

☕ Café de Paris – Afternoon crepes + Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee? Yes, please.

🥐 Room Service Breakfast – Because robes, pastries, and ocean views are the breakfast trifecta.

✨ All meals, snacks, premium drinks, AND wines by Robert Mondavi are included. Yes. Really.

🌊 Activities & Adventures – Included & Unlimited

You can go full adventure mode or do absolutely nothing. Both are perfectly acceptable here.

On the Water:

Kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, snorkeling
PADI® certified scuba diving (included!)
Glass bottom boat rides
Waterskiing, wakeboarding & more

On Land:

Day & Night Tennis, Pickleball, Bocce, Beach Volleyball
Lawn Chess, Shuffleboard, Croquet (yes, it’s a vibe)
Silent discos, live music, beach parties 🎶

🌺 Red Lane Spa: I booked a massage here and… WOW. Best. Massage. Ever.

Tip: 18% Spa gratuities are automatically added to your bill, but my therapist? She deserved ALL the stars and an extra tip!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🌅 Sunrises, Sunsets & Soaking It All In

Sandals South Coast is uniquely positioned so you get BOTH overwater sunrises AND sunsets.

☀️ I made it to a few (okay, some) sunrises, and they were worth waking up for.🍹 But sunsets? That was a daily ritual. I’d grab a drink and just watch the sky do its thing.

Trip Report: My Relaxing Escape 🧳

✨ Arrival at MBJ: I pre-booked Club Mobay and breezed through customs in under 10 minutes. HIGHLY recommend.

✨ Transfer Time: It's about 90 minutes to the resort, but so worth it once you arrive.

✨ Check-In: Greeted with a towel and a tropical drink. My luggage was waiting in my room before I even got there. Chef’s kiss service.

✨ Entertainment: Loved the beach parties, live music, and easygoing relaxing atmosphere.

✨ Bonus Love: Resort cats! Well cared for, friendly, and totally adorable. 🐾 They won't bother you unless you call them and show them love - which I of course did!

🌟 Final Thoughts – Pure Caribbean Magic

Yes, the transfer is a bit longer…But what’s waiting on the other side? Absolute bliss.

Sandals South Coast is peaceful, luxurious, and wildly romantic. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just need a well-earned reset, this is one of my top resort picks for a reason.
