My wife and I went here for our honeymoon from May 22-May 26. We did not have great weather, so I have taken that into account for my rating. I would rate our experience closer to a 3, but with good weather it could have been a 4. The rainy weather caused us to be in the room more than... More

Went there during the Xmas holiday and we had a great time. The location is amazing. The food was surprisingly good. The French restaurant on the premises was excellent. The people working there were very nice. The only drawback is that it wasn't as warm as we'd wish. 20 C during the first half of the trip and 15 C... More

We went to celebrate my boyfriends dad's retirement. It started out as a blast- my first time out of the country! From the minute we landed everything was beautiful & all the locals & staff were great. Rooms, resort & spa were all very clean, & up to our expectations. Good snorkeling right off the beach on the resort!! Perfect... More

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing stay at a resort with a great beach - and the option for some off-resort adventure - to celebrate our anniversary. We definitely found it at Sandals Emerald Bay (SEB) in Exuma. It was our first stay at an all-inclusive resort, after mostly cruising in the past. Our Bay House 5... More

Sandals Emerald Bay is truly an unbelievable Destination, not just a Resort. If Beach is what you are looking for, This Is It!! It's Amazingly Long, Quiet and Pristine. All suites, many of which are Butler Service, are beautifully appointed with inviting bedrooms and spacious bathrooms. All other accommodations are Concierge Service. The Restaurants are fantastic!! From French and Italian,... More

My wife and I spent 22 days in Paridise. We were in SEB for Reuion Week, and for my wifes birthday. From the moment we arrived, after a 13 minute ride from the Airport. We were greeted with a cold towel and a glass of champagne. Check in was flawless. They run your visa because it is a cashless resort,... More

This was our first Sandals experience and it couldn't have been a better one! This resort, a former Four Seasons was A+ in every way. The resort caters to your every need and there is something for everyone there including the "quiet pool". Everyone in the service department went out of their way for us and everyone else staying there.... More

This was our first trip to Sandals Emerald Bay, we have previously stayed at La Toc in St Lucia and have also stayed at The Excellence in Playa Mujres and Half Moon in Jamaica. This resort was definitely up to par and in some cases exceeded these resorts. The beach here was by far the most beautiful I have ever... More

We traveled to Sandals Emerald Bay from May 12 to 19th. Despite some management problems, we had a wonderful vacation! This was our 4th stay at a Sandals resort. (twice at Sandals Whitehouse and once at La Toc) I'm going to split my thoughts on a positive note then a negative part. 1. The beach was GORGEOUS. We loved walking... More

My wife and I just returned from a week at SEB celebrating our 10 year anniversary. And could not be happier. When looking at choices my wife wanted the perfect beach and I wanted the ability to explore. We also wanted somewhere different and remote other than Nassau. **** I will preface that during our stay upper management was all... More
