My stay at Sandals Royal Caribbean was mixed. The beach was quite disappointing, as it was small and not very clean, and the resort felt crowded. On a positive note, I enjoyed the excellent food quality and the service from staff who tried their best, even if not everything went smoothly.

The facilities, including cabanas and pools, were well maintained and added to the luxurious feel of the resort. but limited chairs and umbrellas on the beach made it tough to find shade during busy hours.

My stay at Sandals Royal Caribbean was enjoyable. the staff truly made the experience nice with their friendliness and attentiveness. However, I was disappointed to discover that a new building obstructed my room's view, which I hadn't anticipated. Overall, the food and amenities were impressive, but the lack of proactive communication from management left something to be desired.
