Beaches Sandy Bay
Hotel Information: Born in Jamaica, the Beaches chain of resorts caters to families and kids with myriad activities available day and night and facilities designed for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. With the exception of one resort evening dress Italian restaurant, this 20-acre resort is laid-back casual and features open-air facilities cooled by ceiling fans. Tipping is not permitted.
Amenity highlights: Graced by almond and palm trees and furnished with lounge chairs and thatch shades, a 427-meter (1,400-foot) beachfront that runs 61 meters (200 feet) deep in places provides ample sunbathing and fun-and-games space on sand fine as sugar and nearly as white next to the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Complimentary kayaks, windsurfers, Hobie Wave sailboats, Sunfish sailboats, and snorkeling gear are available. Waterskiing, banana boating, and scuba diving and snorkeling excursions are also complimentary. A huge trampoline raft lies just off shore. An expansive main pool area includes a raised deck containing a 10-person ocean-view spa. A second, good-size pool lies in a quieter area. Both offer swim-up bars.
Insider tip: Dinner at the resort's Italian restaurant enforces resort evening dress code: dress pants for men with collared shirts, casual-elegant dress for women. No sneakers, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, swimwear, flip-flops permitted. Otherwise, dress is resort casual: nice shorts or jeans, covered swim wear, no bare feet.
The majority of meals and activities at this resort are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for most meals and activities (scroll up to the All-Inclusive Details section for more information).
Beaches Sandy Bay All Inclusive offers 128 rooms and suites. Styling and décor include tiled floors; lemon-colored walls; bright splashes of primary color; potted tropical plants. Most rooms have tub/shower combinations but some rooms have only showers.
