We%26#039;re planning on staying at a Sandals resorts in Jamaica but we%26#039;re having a difficult time choosing one. We%26#039;re leaning towards the Sandals Caribbean but there are so many choices. Any recommendations?
Sandals Resorts in Jamaica?
Sandals White House is great, its really nice down there, the food is great, the staff are wonderful and friendly people, even though I work for Sandals, I was at Whitehouse for some days working and they really treat people good. Sandals Mobay is also a nice place the food is good, the entertainment is also great, and yes you can take the shuttle to any of the Sandals you want to go, you can stay at one and play at all, if you stay in Mobay the shuttle service is free for other sandals in mobay, however if you want to go to another property out of mobay you may have to pay a small cost. As for Sandals Royal, not sure if you will like the food, its more for the Royal type of people, what I meant is that its more quiet and a little reserve, so if you are that type of person you can go there. Overall sandals is really good and also the Beaches properties. Beaches Negril is great, the waterfall is nice, and they have a lazy river there all you need to do is stay one place and it moves you right around. If you need anymore information about Sandals you can email me Lorrett_Simister@yahoo.com
Reply:Whitehouse is the nicest property although furthest from Mobay airport. You can use all the facilities, so I would consider the cheapest one and take the shuttles to the other resorts.
Reply:Please stay away form the Sandals Caribbean resort! Go to Whitehouse (we%26#039;ve been three times!!) - it%26#039;s absolutlely beautiful!! Sandals Negril is nice too and they%26#039;ve just redone part of the Sandals Dunn%26#039;s River.
Sandals Caribbean and Sandals Inn are VERY SMALL and defintely not as nice. One of those two, I can%26#039;t remember which one, is not even on the beach -you have to walk across the street.
We%26#039;ve been to Sandals Royal Bahamian, Sandals Antigua, Whitehouse, Sandals Negril. Liked them all, but Whitehouse is the best.
Reply:watch out for pirates arghh
Reply:We just got back from Sandals Dunn%26#039;s River Resort in Jamaica 4 days ago. I%26#039;ve also been to the Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica. I would highly recommend Dunn%26#039;s. We took some videos and posted them to sandalsvideos.com

Sandals Resort Honeymoon?
My fiance and I are honeymooning at the Royal Bahamian Sandals Resort from in July 2008. Can any give me tips or pointers for travelling here, and any opinions you have on this resort, or other Sandals Resorts?
Thanks!
Sandals Resort Honeymoon?
Sandals in Negril is the place we go every year. If RB is as good you will have a wonderful time. Food, drink, SCUBA, beach, gardens are all great. My only problem is the rude guests that treat the staff as if they are lesser then them. They don%26#039;t realize that Jamaica time is different than NY time. Have you had a chance to go to tripadvisor.com? If not, you should. There you will find comments from people who have been there. You%26#039;ll have a wonderful time I%26#039;m sure.
Reply:A lot of times people dislike the sandals resorts for their honeymoon mainly because it is highly processed and very targeted toward families. Invariably your crowded with swarms of kids and stressed parents.
Take a look at the fiji resorts before booking many times you can get 5-7 days in a privately fiji resort for less than $1000 and it%26#039;s the real paridivce.
Here are a list of fiji resorts to check out on Adventure Brat

Reply:My husband and I went to Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica in August. We had an amazing time. Since then we went to a Couples resort and it wasn%26#039;t as nice. The resort was better than the pictures online. The food was very good. Lots of choices. They have room service so we ordered some snacks when we were hungry but wanted to stay in the room. they had a Paris Cafe where we got some deserts and coffee drinks.
They have plenty of bars and the drinks were great. You could get what ever you wanted.
The rooms were very clean. We had a concierge and they arranged everything for us. The beaches and pools were great. They had several pools and we went to different ones each day.
We also got massages which were pretty good, but not the best I have ever had.
this was a very quiet resort. Snorkling was neat. the people were great. I highly recommend Sandals.

SANDALS Bahamas or ATLANTIS for Honeymoon???
Getting married in May 2008 and are looking to go to the bahamas for the honeymoon.. I really like what Atlantis has to offer but heard the prices are ridiculous. Sandals Seems much more reasonable and you get more for your money.. Just wondering if anyone had any experiences at either resorts and which you would suggest? Also If I goto Sandals is there a way to get to Atlantis if we wanted to spend a few days there?
SANDALS Bahamas or ATLANTIS for Honeymoon???
Go to Sandals Bahamas. Much nicer for a honeymoon. Atlantis is huge and not as private. I think you would get better food and service at Sandals.
Any body can go to Atlantas and have lunch/dinner or go to the Casino and stores. You can also purchase a day pass for the resort.
http://www.atlantis.com
Enjoy)
Reply:If you are wanting to go to Nassau then Sandals. It is much smaller and does not allow children. It is for adults so you don%26#039;t have to worry about 50 millions kids running around with parents who are not paying a bit of attention to them. Sandals is in Cable Beach. You can either take a taxi or a jitney to downtown or to PI.
Compass Point is an excellent place to stay also. All the bungalows have been redone and are very nice.
Reply:i would say screw those both! go to a smaller island and rent a house or a cabin at a sort small resort! i promise you will get to see the real beauty of the bahamas!
Reply:If you want the facilities of Atlantis but for less $, check out Comfort Suites - they used to have that arrangement, don%26#039;t know if they still do. The prices at Atlantis ARE ridiculous - you could splurge at the CS and still come out ahead, I%26#039;m sure.
Check out TripAdvisor.com for past guest reviews of hotels; it will give you an idea of whether it%26#039;s %26quot;worth it%26quot; to stay at Atlantis itself.
Reply:Congratulations!
Memories are created where ever you decide to honeymoon.
Atlantis:
1. It is a resort with lots of activities
2. It is located on Paradise Island which enables you to view gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, breathtaking marine life and island breeze.
3. You do not have to purchase food from Atlantis itself you can adventure to Nassau and find reasonable restaurants and the food stores. There are always choices never feel pressured to purchase anything that is not within your budget. Use the local concierge
Sandals: Located on the Cable Beach Strip
1. Very much a couples Oriented resort.
2. Access to beautiful beaches
3. Water Activities
4. Intimate Island Adventure
5. Quiet
6. All Inclusive which is a plus
*To get to Atlantis, you can use a Taxi or find out if Atlantis offers Courtesy Shuttles which can pick you up from Sandals
*Spend a few days at Sandals and a few at Atlantis and obtain the best of both worlds. I guarantee you, you will not regret it.
Reply:I think you would be much better off with going to Sandals. I stayed at Wyndham Resort (which was a resort away from Sandals) which was right on Cable Beach.
It would be more relaxing and intimate for your honeymoon. Plus you could always take a taxi to Paradise Island if you want to go club.
Atlantis is priced ridcoulsly. Not worth it at all.
Reply:I heard Sandals is always way a good way to go because they have all-inclusive package. I guess someone with more experience will tell you. Sandals also have resorts in Jamaica and St. Lucia (and maybe Barbados). Those are other options for you.
Reply:atlantis is absolutly amazing--- however, if you r trying to save money sandals isnt too far away. sandals is in nassau- and you would take a $1 or $2 bus to main street nassau and from there get on a boat to go over to atlantis on paradise island. it doesnt take long and you could spend the day there by purchasing a bracelet when you arrive- i think the bracelets are somewhere around $50----DONT TAKE THIS OFF--- you can go back the next day- or each day of your stay for free with this bracelet on and no one will find out ;) i was just there in april- couldnt afford to stay there, so i stayed at the wyndam near sandals and spent 2 full days hanging out at atlantis

Would these sandals be cool in college?
I hear that college kids like to wear Teva sandals in college, and these are somewhat similar. Would these sandals be good for a guy in college?
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/s...
Would these sandals be cool in college?
They are very common, worn by all ages for many years; they%26#039;re fine! Make sure you keep your toenails trim and clean; and use a pumice stone on your heels and rough spots. Girls can get grossed out if a guy has bad feet.
Reply:yuck! guys in sandals. no, sorry.
Reply:NO!!!!!!! They are the ugliest sandles EVER!!! I cant believe people accually wear them! DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!!!!
Reply:NO
Reply:Depends - is the college near the beach?
These are fine for casual at home or quick walk to shops but not so attractive for day wear at school.
Good advice about foot care - really trim nails and pumice feet if wearing sandles.
A pedicure is not gay and a guy with good feet (clean and neat) is HOT. It means he cares about the details!!!!

Reply:Man, if you%26#039;re worried about whether a pair of sandals are %26quot;cool%26quot; or not, then you should maybe re-evaluate your life a little. It%26#039;s doesn%26#039;t matter a toss to anyone what shoes you%26#039;re wearing, and if it does matter to them, then they are so shallow that you can safely ignore their pathetic opinions.

Sandals Resorts in Jamaica?
My wife and I stayed at the Royal Caribbean this past December and loved every second. There is always plenty to do, and the staff is tremendous. I cannot say enough about how well they treat everyone. From hotel management down to cleaning crew, they treat you so well.
The food was not the best I have ever had, but good nonetheless. The bartenders are great and we met so many other people from around the world that we still keep in touch with.
While there, we went over to the Montego Bay resort. It is much bigger than the Royal, but the Royal just seemed to be the best place of the two. The reason I say that is when you wanted to party, there was a party going on, but when you wanted privacy it was quiet. It is not a small resort, but it is not so large you get lost either. Probably why the entire staff can learn your name within 24 hours. Pretty impressive though.
Hope this helps.

Snorkeling at Sandals Whitehouse?
Plan on going to Sandals Whitehouse next week. OK, I know the reef is not as alive with fish as some other places, but would like to know the following:
1. If I bring my on mask %26amp; snorkle, is there anything to see close in, %26amp; will Sandals let you snorkel near the beach?
2. Will watersports let you %26quot;borrow%26quot; a PFD if you are not taking out a boat or going on a structured snorkeling trip?
3. How often during the day do they take you out to the reff to snorkle?
4. How long are the structured trips to the reef?
The reason I ask is the last 2 times we were at Sandals MoBay the snorkel boat was out of service and you had to wait as they split time with the glass bottom boat. They also discouraged you from snorkeling close to the swimming area.
When we stayed at the Cancun Riu, you could snorkle outside of the swim area, but they would not loan out PFD%26#039;s, so the only other option was the off site ($60.00 per person if my memory is right) snorkle/boat trip out to the reef.
Snorkeling at Sandals Whitehouse?
Just bear in mind that you are not allowed anymore to go snorkeling independently. You have to have someone from a professional agency or the hotel with you.
Reply:Try it you will love it

Sandals with a built in arch support?
I suffer from plantar fasciitis and was wondering if anyone knows of somwhere I could buy a pair of sandals with built in arch supports? I have got orthotics which I can wear in closed in shoes and boots but I can%26#039;t wear them with sandals.
Sandals with a built in arch support?
I have to wear podiatry inserts as a result of a very severe sprain 3 years ago that has left me with a foot support problem, even after months of physio!.
I was given some shoe inserts to cradle my feet, but these were painful to walk on after so long!
I have now bought some Scholl sandals with a built in footbed support in them . This range is called Adapta, and believe you me, they are fantastic, all pain has gone!
The website has a sale of these Adapta sandles, mine were £10 and £15 and should have cost £90 for both pairs!
The next best thing i found were mock Crocks, they are brilliant for supporting the arches and lessening foot pain too.
