What is a good length of stay at a Sandals Resort?

Question

My husband and I are planning to go to Sandals Whitehouse in October for our one year anniversary. Just wondering how many nights we should stay. We want to be able to enjoy our stay, but not get bored. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

My husband and I also go to Jamaica. Both times we went/are going for 8 days 7 nights. I do not want to leave when I am there, and that is not even long enough for me! I do not think you could get bored, there is so much to do.

Answer 2

I would say about 6 nights or so. The first day you arrive is pretty much gone as you are tired from travelling. Then that gives you 5 full days to do different things. I used to work at Sandals Whitehouse and it is a fabulous property. I would suggest you check out what daily tours they have leaving the resort and see if you can pre-book a few. That way you already have an idea of what you will do each day. I recommend going to Mayfield Falls and also doing the horseback riding tour that allows you to go in the sea with the horses. If you like rum you can do the Appleton Rum tour and see how the different types of rum are made, sample them and get to purchase onsite also. The Black River safari tour is also nice as you get to go up the river and see the different wildlife especially the crocodiles and see the tour guide feed them when them come up to the boat. Sounds scary but its fun!

You may not choose to leave the property everyday because in fact there are different things you can do on site also. For example you can both have a couples day at the spa. The treatments are to die for and the atmosphere is very serene.They also have the different specialty restaurants so make sure you set it up so each night you can dine at a different one whether the Italian or Asian or Caribbean restaurants. If you love the beach then you will be fine as the water is nice and the beach is like half a mile long. There is also an entertainment committe that have different games and activities going on all day by the pool for prizes etc competing against other couples. At night there are different bands and performers that will come in and do a show that lasts until like 10 or 11pm.

One more suggestion, see if you can book a private candlelight dinner by the beach. It is to die for. you will have your own server to serve you at your pace, both of you sitting on the sand under the stars, a menu of your choice.... I think when it's time to go you will be sorry to leave. I hope you enjoy your trip.

5 to 7 days should be enough. believe me you will not want to leave there when its done though. sandals resort is a beautiful place.

Answer 4

my wife & I go to Jamaica every May for our Anniversary ( this will be 9 straight years to Jamaica & it's our 23rd Anniversary ) . We usually go for 5 days & 4 nights , but this year we are going for the entire week . I would suggest 5 days & 4 nights , but also try to plan on a vacation EVERY year to celebrate your anniversary , it keeps your marriage strong & makes the date that much more special . Please email me ( [e-mail] ) and give me additional details ( exact dates , departure airport , budget , etc. ) and let me put together a vacation package that will meet & exceed your expectations ....

Answer 5

10 days ! That's more than enough. If you stay any longer you won't want to leave. Jamaica is a very hard place to leave you get so distracted by the beauty that you want to stay. Don't worry you won't get bored. Jamaica is never boring. Something is always going on so the resort will keep you and your husband occupied.
