We are a midtwenties/early thirties unmarried couple who went to Sandals Inn for a 4 night vacation just to relax. This was our first trip to Jamaica. We stayed at Sandals Inn b/c it was cheaper than Sandals Mo Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean. We did indeed spend most of our time at MoBay and RC (shuttle runs frequently). The beaches, activities/entertainment, and food (or I should say # of choices as well as dining atmosphere) are much better at these 2 places than at the Inn. I will say that had we been honeymooning, I would've been disappointed to be staying at the Inn due to lack of luxury. The rooms were stuffy (they have window unit ACs and fans), and bathrooms were outdated and never got cool. As mentioned by other reviewers, shower temp is impossible to control. There is constant street noise from cars honking, playing loud music, etc. The beach is a public beach that is across the street and was filled with locals for our entire stay. We never once set foot on it.
As for the activities, which we were most excited about, we found no jet skiing sponsored by Sandals (boo). The snorkelling we planned was cancelled due to rough water (so sad!). The kayaking area was small, so we only did this for a few minutes.
Now for the good points! Weather in early May was perfect! Close to airport and to Sandals Mo Bay and RC. Good food except for desserts. Great drinks. Good service, though it is better if you tip (even though "tips are included"). Fun activities at night at Sandals Mo Bay. We loved the all-inclusive experience! Next time, we'll prob stay at Sandals Mo Bay or RC though.
Warning: If you book the Dunn's River Falls tour through Sandals Inn, they will tell you it's a full day. Well, half of the day is "shopping", which is where they take you to a bunch of tourist places and pushy vendors try to sell you a bunch of overpriced "touristy" items. It was terrible. The falls, however, were wonderful! So try to get a half-day tour or book through another company.
One more tip: Book the restaurants you want to go to the day you get there.

This was our 17th visit to a Sandals resort, and once again we were not disappointed. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Cheryl Brown, the general manager, should be commended for doing such a great job. The food was great, the room and resort were always clean. The location of the Inn (hip strip) allowed us to get a real feel of Jamaica. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Sandals touts itself as the premium luxury resort line. I have stayed at several all inclusives in Mexico. For the extra money you pay for a sandals you could stay twice as long some place else for the same amount of money. This place is really not any nicer than any other place I have stayed at.

For the most part the resorts are nice but nothing special.
The people are great. Rooms average.

Water temp horrible won't stay the same during shower any time of day.

They say tips included but got hit up several times for tips.

They do make good drinks.

They do have rats in the restaurants. Saw them twice at the Inn.

No beach at the Inn.
