I'm still watching your video in its entirety, but what I've seen so far, their buffet certainly is set up differently from our 7 past Sandals visits, most recently St Lucia a week ago. And I agree that the Parasol menu is somewhat limited to "artsy" types of food dining options. I do like the family style concept at Buccan, as that's a great way to meet others. You guys did a fantastic job at narrating the culinary options for St Vincent & we're looking forward to our visit, even if it's not until mid January in 2026!

I appreciate your honesty. Love Sandals, but most videos about their resort and services tend to feel like infomercials. For paid excursions, I tend to look elsewhere than Island Routes, because many competitors offer very good services and at lower prices (that was our experience in Curaçao). We will definitely look into the sculpture park when we will visit Grenada!

Nice video. Seems weird (not in a bad way) to be at a resort that seemingly empty - most all of our Sandals trips have been during February or Easter school breaks and all of our Beaches trips have been in July or August, and the resorts have been basically full every time. With the lower occupancy were all of the restaurants and activities fully open or did they have closed days or reduced hours?

Great video! I was on the transatlantic on Oasis of the Seas and ate at Playmakers a couple of times. The Ahi Tuna nachos were amazing. Those regular nachos looked really good, too. I'll be on the Icon later in 2025 and look forward to trying them. Thanks for explaining how the Pearl is an architectural feature. I didn't realize that. The ship is absolutely gorgeous. How crowded were the specialty restaurants? I usually book them the minute I get on the ship, but sometimes I like to do a last minute dinner at a specialty restaurant. That aqua dome is phenomenal! Where do they show movies?
@ACoupleTravelers15 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching! The speciality restaurants were all fairly crowded, however, we were on the inaugural sailing which might have convinced some people to splurge on dining. We don’t remember exactly when the movies were, but some screenshots of the activity schedule/cruise compass from recent sailing should be available online. Have a great vacation!

Sandals South Coast is our least favorite. We went in summer 2023. Having to leave the resort 5 hours early is just unacceptable. Our initial transfer was during a rainstorm and we made it in 1.5 hours. We were lucky, the couple we met arrived 4 1/2 hours later because of a fallen tree. I know those things aren't the resort's fault, but its location is not one that we enjoy. We just finished Sandals Barbados & Royal Barbados and that is our favourite along with Sandals Royal Plantation.

Your lists are both pretty good and not off ours. We don't go to St. Vincent until April (only Sandals we have not visited - some we have visited (La Toc, Halcyon & Ochi) and not stayed), so can't comment on it - but are hopeful it will be great. Our top 12 in order are: 1. South Coast, 2. Dunn's River, 3. Royal Barbados (we likely would never stay in Sandals Barbados but it is part of the same resort and adds a lot to the experience), 4. Royal Bahamian (loved the island), 5. Grenada, 6. Montego Bay, 7. Curacao, 8. Grande St. Lucian, 9. Negril, 10. Royal Caribbean, 11. Antigua, and 12. Regency La Toc. We are beach people so both Royal Barbados and Antigua (public beaches) plus Curacao (no real beach) were lower than the resorts might be for pool people.
