Folks at Sandals South Coast call it “Sweet, Sexy South Coast” and after touring this property, I can totally see why! Let me say that I fell in love with this property! It was VERY different from the Sandals Negril property in not only its size but also its privacy and overall feel. Let’s begin!
We departed Sandals Negril and drove south west to White House and Sandals South Coast. The drive took us about 2 hours and it was twisty, turny and ever so interesting. (The drive from Montego Bay airport is about 1.5 hours). Our arrival on the South Coast property was stunning! It instantly reminded me of a Mediterranean resort with its distinct architecture, open plazas and well laid out eateries.

This resort boasts ALL Ocean View rooms (except for the NEW Rondovals – which really do not need an ocean view – they are so amazing). The resort is similar in its layout to Beaches Turks & Caicos, with an Italian Village, a French Village, a Caribbean Village and at South Coast, the recently renovate and dynamic Dutch Village.

Ah, the Tranquility Soaking tub!!!! 
The upper level Tranquility Soaking Tub suites with fabulous views (and a privacy screen). 
This might have been my favorite room in the Dutch Village!
These stunning Rondovals are so beautiful! 
And even more stunning at night!
Something else I loved about this resort was that they have OVER the Water Bungalows! Oh, and an amazing overwater bar – Latitudes – and they sure know how to make a dirty martini!!!

Evening fires burn throughout the resort creating an intimate, inviting ambience. 
Tucking the Over the Water Bungalows in for the night!
The one evening I stayed there, I enjoyed sushi for my dinner and took some time to wander around the resort and marvel at the beauty. Many of my travel agent friends who accompanied me on the trip enjoyed the late-night circus-like show and the martini bar – but alas, I treasure my sleep more that entertainment and turned in around 9:30pm.
A gorgeous lunch salad with shrimp! 
I may or may not have had half a dozen banana and nutella crepes on my trip!!! 
The INCLUDED lattes, capuccinos, crepes and sweets were always a welcome treat! 
Wonton Soup! 
Sushi right at the sushi bar!
The next day we had our official walking tour of the resort – the eateries – the SPA – and also a number of the rooms. They were all beautiful, well appointed, and with lovely ocean views. Oh, and did I mention the Over the Water Wedding Chapel???? Stunning!
Imagine walking out to the beautiful chapel with the Caribbean breeze gently swirling your wedding dress as you glide towards your happily ever after! 
Perfection! 
Such a beautiful space – and it is rented for only $799 as is – you can decorate it to your heart’s content! 
The Red Lane Spa is a must see stop on any Sandals and Beaches Vacation! 
The atmosphere is serenity itself!
If I were forced to come up with something I didn’t totally love about this resort, it might the beach – it wasn’t as powdery as Negril and the water was not AS serene – but that would NEVER keep me from staying at this resort. If I had to personally pick one of the eight Sandals and Beaches resorts to stay at during my own vacation, I would pick South Coast (second choice coming up).
Here are some of my favorite grounds photos from this beautiful resort – Enjoy!
I love the romantic feel of this resort! 
The statues places all over the resort along with the fountains are so inviting! 
The wide plazas are great for gathering, ping pong or relaxing with your group of new friends! 
The quaint little details to this resort make it feel like home. 
The Mediterranean feel of the plaza area is really what draws me in – lovely landscaping, smaller areas for relaxation and lots to chose from! 
Don’t you just want to curl up here and take a nap?
