Thank you for saving us $18k. We talked to sandals because the pictures were enough for us to question if it was truly private. They assured us the building was ours alone. But your experience is what I was worried about. Thank you.
Wow!!! Thanks for the honest review. I’ve stayed at 3 Sandals resorts so far and this room/ resort was on my hit list but it’s not anymore thanks to your review.
I love. Your honesty and agree 100 %. I appreciate everything you said, and THANK YOU! Since you seem to have the same taste and concerns as me, I was wondering what your thoughts are as the best resort to go to? In April 2024, it will be mine and my husbands 50th Anniversary and want to do something and not be disappointed. Or upset that I paid good money for a place that isn’t updated. What are your thoughts for us? Appreciate this video.
Our favorite Sandals was of course the over the water in Jamaica. The cost and availability are factors. The best value and experience was The Grand St. Lucia Rondoval. It was Awesome. Great resort. Great room, privacy and butler service. Happy Anniversary.🎉 We celebrate our 30th this year
Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what I was worried about and was researching to find out about the villa. I'm glad i didn't book before seeing this.
Great heads-up. Thanks.. It is now 2020, five years after you posted your video, from what I can tell on the Sandals website now, it is still a bit misleading. I do no not know what the website ad actually looked like 5 years ago, but just based on your description of not being fully informed back then of what your were signing up for, it seems like a few things are still misleading. It still is somewhat misleading because of the photos they use. Their photos don't show the privacy walls on both sides that you show. There is also no mention in the their description of the two adjoining suite doors right in the living room, which for me would be a deal-breaker for sure. But they do say in the ad now... " Royal Estate Two Story One Bedroom Beachfront Butler Villa Suite with Pool - BSP Reminiscent of a true Bahamian manor this luxurious, sprawling retreat is the largest suite within the Royal Estate Beachfront Villa. With every luxury imaginable, including direct beach access, a private pool and a personal butler to attend to your every whim. This spectacular Love Nest Butler Suite is a privileged sanctuary arranged over two levels." So, the line that states it's the "largest suite within the Royal Estate Beachfront Villa", was enough to prompt me to do further research and find helpful videos like yours, to confirm whether or not the entire villa was what they were selling. I still think they should be a bit more descriptive about how this Villa is being rented out, and should even include a floor plan PDF on their website. But most of all this really should include more accurate updated photos, and even a 3D-Virtual room tour of all their accommodations. As consumers, we must all have each other's back, so travel videos like this are definitely very much appreciated.

Wow. Very Auckward to have private pool and be that close to others who have very standard rooms.
It was terrible for what it cost.

You are very welcome. Enjoy your vacation just not this suite.
