From what I’ve seen the resorts are all nice. Right now most of the off resort tours etc are very limited so not a lot of difference since you will spend the trip at the resort only.

Negril is good for doing stuff, and Rick’s is right there too, Montego Bay is chill and you can visit Royal Caribbean 5 mins away. Have plans to go to Emerald Bay in Exuma in Feb 2021, looking forward to the golf there. All depends what you’re looking for, but don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.....Get the butler!!!!

We have done 4 now. Sandals Royal Caribbean in MBJ was our favorite. It’s a much smaller resort only a mile from Sandals Montego Bay.
Grand St. Lucian was next, followed by Royal Barbados. We did not like the Royal Bahamian in Nassau all that much.

Have only been to Sandals Negril. We liked it. We didn't leave the resort.

We did Ocho Ríos years ago and the only time we left the resort was to play golf

We’ve been to White House (Goes by another name now) and it was nice, but an absolute pain to get there.
Last year we went to Emerald Bay and it was incredible. Exuma is breathtaking. The stretch of beach is amazing as is the golf course. I’ve been to Hawaii, Caribbean islands, Jamaica, etc. Never seen anything like the water in exuma. Another huge plus is that the flight to get there is easy and the resort is 10 minutes from the airport.

I've only been to one but it was fantastic. St. Lucia Grand back in 2012! From the airport to the resort was only like 25miles I think, but it took about 1hr/30min to drive because the winding road up the hills/mountain. Some didn't care for the drive but I loved seeing everything.
Resort itself was top notch. Great drinks and food, overall great atmosphere from the time we stepped on the resort it felt like a party and relaxation all at the same time.

I highly recommend Grenada. Also it’s a stones throw from the airport which is nice.

Seconded. Grenada one is very nice and only like 5 minutes from airport.

Can confirm. I traveled here during it's grand opening and still (10 years) haven't seen water or a beach that could compare.
We're actually considering a '21 return to Exuma, but renting a beach house with a boat for the week instead of the all inclusive. Chat n chill is awesome.

The beach at Emerald Bay is nice, but if you can get to any of the nearby beaches(tropic of cancer) is one, but there are many, you will have never seen clearer water anywhere. Trust me.

Antigua and La Toc St Lucia are excellent
Agreed 100%

Which one had the prettiest beach/water?
Posted on 8/21/20 at 7:38 pm to ellunchboxo
Between St Lucia la toc and Antigua, Antigua has the whiter sand and better water clarity for sure but La Toc's is still very nice. La Toc is nestled in a small bay with half the resort at the beach and the other running up a pretty steep 100 foot bluff. Both are phenomenal islands and resorts. I've been to both twice and would go back to either in a heartbeat.

Yeah RC was a lot nicer to me than MB. I hated the gigantic party atmosphere at MB and big crowds. RC is really laid back and small, but I’m getting to be an old fart and don’t want to party. It felt like a much better place to relax.
I want to do Grenada, I hear it has the best scuba.

Grenada was by far my favorite island trip of all time. We didn't stay at the Sandals (previously La Source when we were there.) Did spend the day right next door at an amazing restaurant. They essentially share the same beach and it's gorgeous.
The Aquarium
If you do go, you have to get off the reservation and see the island. It's spectacular, with gorgeous beaches, waterfalls, tropical rain forests. People are friendly and they speak English.
