My husband and I booked here for September of 2020. We have spent hours investigating different Sandals resorts and always were left questioning if we chose the right one. We've been through SO many youtube videos and I cannot express how thorough and helpful this one was to us. This ultimately confirmed our decision in going here. Thank you so much for sharing!!! It was the best review of South Coast we've seen so far!
Thank you very much Kaelyn Elizabeth that is so nice of you to say. It is such a big risk financially and using your vacation time up only to be disappointed, you won`t be at this resort. I`m so glad I could help, my wife and I have been there many times and LOVE IT. Thanks for watching and stay turned for more resort reviews in the future.
My finance and I spent 5 nights this time last August. Excellent experience. Was our first trip to a Sandals Resort. Beach was incredible. The staff definitely made you feel like you were spending a million dollars. Because of tat experience, we are headed to Antigua in October for our honeymoon. Going with the butler service this time!
We came here in August 2019. Was out first trip to a Sandals. Proposed to my fiancee here. What an awesome experience! Service was amazing food was great. Those early afternoon showers were a great time to escape to the room for a quick...nap! We are headed to Antigua in October for our honeymoon. Trying out a butler suite this time around. Can't wait. Thanks for the video as it's perfect to take a stroll back through the grounds. Cheers!
Hey Joseph Fletcher thanks so much for watching and your comment. I had a great time in Antigua, very nice resort. Enjoy your wedding and honeymoon, congratulations.
GREAT video, great quiet voice, just enough talking to narrate while letting us soak up the natural ambiance. MUCH appreciated and we cannot wait to get there!
Thanks for the info about the helicopter. Didn't know they had one there. Going to St. Lucia next year and will be taking heli. Going to South Coast in 2023, can't wait!
That's awesome Sue, I did the helicopter in St Lucia also, it was amazing. So nice the we can travel again. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate it!!!!
I love the countdown, you guys are going to have an awesome time there. I will be reviewing Sandals Royal Barbados next month so be sure to check it out. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching. Have a GREAT trip.
ORGANIZED CoNfUsioN Excellent. I’ll be sure to look for that. My wife and I are trying to fit that resort and Grenada into our future trips. Thanks for the comprehensive views and reviews. Knowledge is good. 😀
Dave, you did a GREAT job showing folks the entire property--well, at least the parts meant for enjoyment of the guests. Because the place is vastly large, and there's so much else going on there behind the scenes to create the wonderful experience for the guests. We've been to Whitehouse--er...SOUTH COAST--ten times now, and will make our 11th trip there this fall. We first went in 2008, and the improvements that they've made since then are incredible. As we watched your video, we thought back to our early trips and were saying out loud, "that used to not be there..." or "that used to be where the pool tables were located..." [where the sushi bar is now]. We were there in the year(s) when much of the French Beach had washed away in storms, and then they painstakingly rebuilt the beach, while building those stone breakwaters, and added Latitudes Bar, the Over-The-Water suites, etc., etc., etc. There used to be no sidewalk running down the length of the frontage of the three villages. It's crazy and financially irresponsible (we sit solidly in the USA middle class) to do so, but we keep coming back each year, even as we start the year swearing we're gonna save the money for other more "pressing" needs like...furniture? A new couch? College tuition for the kids? Eh, to heck with that, let's go back to Sandals! We've been to other Sandals since 1993, but invariably when we look at the combined considerations of flights from the Washington DC area, the cost of the resort, the fact that EVERY room in South Coast can see the ocean, etc., we always end up choosing to go back to Whitehouse! :-) Oh, the Sandals Select loyalty program is awesome too. We're working on our 2nd free trip! Oh, I came back to edit this and add a mention of the evolution over time we've seen of the epic trip across the island to get to Sandals. It's still pretty rough at times up there in the hills, but the coastal road on the southern side used to be, well, nightmarish? VASTLY better now with the paving they did starting a few years ago. But obviously the ride never deterred us. I kind of hope people do not figure out the secret of what a gem South Coast is, so the pricing will stay so reasonable, and the place will not be packed 365 days a year. Sssshhh, don't tell anyone!
Thanks for watching and your comment. It truly it an amazing spot, we have been there many times as well, maybe even with you at the return guest dinners. Our 1st free trip is coming up, love Sandals for that program and I must say I have not had a bad vacation at any of their properties.
@@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN How long is the drive from Montego Bay? We have heard quite a few different answers and wanted to get an answer from someone who has actually been there. We will be there in a few weeks for our wedding. Thanks for the video!
Hi River Bank Robber the drive from the airport is 1 1/2 hours which seems long but I have always looked at like a tour. It`s a great way to see the real Jamaica. Congratulations on your wedding, you have picked a great resort. Russell Jackson is the manager of the Soon Come Back Desk, that`s where you can book another amazing Sandals vacation at a good discount and join their reward program which is awesome. If you see him say hi from Dave. Have a great trip.
@@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN Thank you for the reply and info! I really appreciate it! One more question, have you stayed in a butler suite? If so, how much do you normally tip? We have never had anything like that before
Hi River Bank Robber sorry for the delay. Well that makes two of us, never had a pleasure. But when you arrive and check in you will be greeted but a staff member that could advise you I`m sure. Have a great trip.
I won a trip and my fiancé doesn’t fly so I took my sister. We had the best time! South Coast was amazing!! Sushi by the Sand was our favorite!!! The pool was great! The hospitality best by far! Absolutely beautiful resort, very peaceful. 5 star!! The staff was amazing!!!! Fun fun fun! Highly recommend!!!!
WOW that`s a great prize. I bet your fiancé wished he had gone with you. We have been there many times because it`s a guaranteed good time. Thanks for watching Chrissy P.
thank you for this!! im trying to decide between sandals negril and sandals south coast for our vacation this year, i think im going to go with south coast! :)
Hey there Ryan, I have been there many times and never felt crowded. Its a large property and spaced out well. I love it, so chill. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
ORGANIZED CoNfUsioN Drones Thank you so much for replying. I wasn’t thinking that I was nervous about it being overcrowded. I was wondering why there was not very many people there. I would have much preferred multiple people there to interact with. I was thinking that the pool was going to be more active. That there would be more people to meet and chat with. Your review was great. I think you did a great job
Sorry Ryan I should have mentioned that it was the first week of November, maybe that's why. I have been to a lot of Sandals resorts but this one is my favourite so far. Did I mention the pizza, WOW.
The main reason we've never visited SSC is because of it's "snooze fest" reputation, and it's isolation, but I hope we will eventually make it down there.
I've been putting a little bit of time giving you some watch time, Dave. Getting to that 4k hours is harder than getting to 1k subs. Hope your numbers are looking up just a little.
Hi Quinton, it is preferred that you have long pants and a collared shirt in some of the restaurants. But they also allow Bermuda shorts. You are going to have a great birthday there. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Booked this for our 30th anniversary...tired of the family crawl into the Caribbean, we NEED adults only, and Caneel Bay used to be it, before they stupidly started allowing kids.
Hi Melania C the food there is excellent and a great variety to choice from. The pizza at the Italian restaurant WOW, I loved it. I have to say I enjoyed every meal I had there. Thanks for watching.
Not even close, we've been to Sandals multiple times starting with our honeymoon in 04. we usually book two years out and pay as you go, It's really easy that way.
We honeymooned at Whitehouse and have been there 4 times. Love the location and the staff. Sandals took our money in May, notified us in June that our July date was cancelled. Turns out they are doing a big renovation and are keeping South Coast closed until October. They are still holding our air fare and insurance money 3+ months later.

That`s great Victoria so glad this helped. I will be doing more resorts in the future. Welcome.
Love this resort - so tranquil
I agree 100%
Very good video!! Been to Royal Caribbean (1st ever vacation) then Antigua. Next year South Coast!
Thank you Dick M. You will love it. Another resort review coming out very soon.
Nice tour and good editing.
Why was it so dead? It looked like a ghost town!!! We want to book in July 2021 but I am wondering if its usually dead?

Thanks very much for watching the video ANDRE JOHNSON. Glad you enjoyed it.
My wife & I are going for my birthday February 2020. Do you have to wear long pants to the restaurants?
Hi Quinton, it is preferred that you have long pants and a collared shirt in some of the restaurants. But they also allow Bermuda shorts. You are going to have a great birthday there. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What's the coast to have the private car pick you up
Hello Ranaldo, I`m sorry but I don't know how much it is for a private car. Thanks very much for watching and leaving a comment.
Very beautiful video.
Thank you so much ANDRE JOHNSON and welcome to the channel.
2.2k views! Wow! Congrats!
Great review of a great vacation resort.
Beautiful video
Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Booked this for our 30th anniversary...tired of the family crawl into the Caribbean, we NEED adults only, and Caneel Bay used to be it, before they stupidly started allowing kids.
We felt the same and were not disappointed Such a great place..
Are all of the water sports included?
Yes they are Marita including scuba diving if you are a certified diver. It`s a great resort. Thanks for watching.
But how was the food?
Hi Melania C the food there is excellent and a great variety to choice from. The pizza at the Italian restaurant WOW, I loved it. I have to say I enjoyed every meal I had there. Thanks for watching.
how are you keeping your camera so steady
I`m using the GoPro Karma grip, it`s amazing. Thanks for watching, new review coming out soon.
Sounds like an episode of "Petscop" on YT in between the narration lol.
I love it.
Great review!
Thanks very much Gary, more to come.
Why did they change the name? Ty
Good question Mary S I asked around but know one could tell me why. New name but still the amazing place it has always been. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tour and sharing just supported your channel
Thank you so much. Welcome aboard.
2.2k views! Awesome!!!!!!!
Thanks for the thorough review, but price wise it would be a place I can't afford. You must have a 6 figure income....
Set goals!
Not really we are going and we are nowhere near 6 figures. It all about planning and saving.
Group booking is less expensive.
Not even close, we've been to Sandals multiple times starting with our honeymoon in 04. we usually book two years out and pay as you go, It's really easy that way.
Criminals cancelled our vacation and won’t refund our money. BBB F rating. Buyer beware!
That's not good, if Covid isn't bad enough. Sorry to hear that.
We honeymooned at Whitehouse and have been there 4 times. Love the location and the staff. Sandals took our money in May, notified us in June that our July date was cancelled. Turns out they are doing a big renovation and are keeping South Coast closed until October. They are still holding our air fare and insurance money 3+ months later.
