I haven't been since the Hurricanes last year when the island took quite a battering but they closed for several months and did extensive repairs/renovations.

I wonder why you have been given such negative reports on Sandals and what kind of expectations the "reviewers" had?

We have stayed for long-weekends several times and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the rooms they are a good size, clean, the furniture is fresh/modern. The food in the restaurants isn't "spectacular" BUT, we go for the very purpose of having the odd weekend without cooking/clean-up. Not to boast or anything but to give you an idea: we (Nassau residents) leave a very comfortable large house and property with great views and swimming pool and check in there, just to relax (massages etc.) and we do like our food ~ Just choose the right restaurant. The bars make good Margaritas BTW.

We too are well traveled BTW and are off to Rio and BA next week. We've stayed in what turned out to be a crummy place now and then, but Sandals in Nassau isn't one of them.

You might want to know that the beach isn't huge but none of them are on Cable Beach.

thank you so much for the info. I feel better about nooking there now.
