Advice: Couple Sans Souci or Sandals Montego Bay!?

Marie · July 27, 2009

Hi Gang,

I've been researching the threads on both these resorts, I havent found much on Sandals Montego Bay...and trip advisor's reviews tend to be more negative then positive on both!

We'll be at ROR the first week for our wedding-but Id reallly like to move elsewhere for the honeymoon. I love the idea of couples only-and both are within our budget....similar in price from the quotes--a lot fo other resort like Sandals Negril(one of my faves) is just a little more on the pricier sides of things.

Any advice?

Anyone stay at either? Im looking for romance..intimate feeling....nice room.....just the honeymoon feel.....or perhaps we'll stay at ROR.......

I have the webinar on Sandals this Thursday- mostly they will be covering the Destination wedding information but will also review the resorts!

Sandals Montego Bay in the Bay Roc Villas or a few of the other rooms offers exactly what you are looking for - stay away from the deluxe room though as it will not be quiet due to the location.The nice thing with Sanadls Montego Bay is that you will have activiti when you want it and quiet when you want it so you won't ever be bored.

However Couples San Souci is extremely sedate and quiet- very mellow! If that is what you are looking for then that may be a better option for you.

We're going with Couples San Souci for our weddingmoon. We looked at Sandals but there were a couple reasons we decided on Couples.

1. The Couples Message Board-great place to get info from people that have been there, some of them many times.

2. The inclusions-CSS seemed to have a wider range of included activities.

3. The CSS property is a quieter resort. We're don't want to be around a lot of people for the wedding/honeymoon. If we were on vacation it might be different.

4. Couples has some great specials. We got in on a $350 Spa Credit and $150 Gift Shop Credit when we booked.

5. We could get an upgraded room at Couples for the same price as the basic room at Sandals.

So, good luck deciding :-)

I'm having a hard time deciding on the 2nd week-I thought it would be easy-but we're already over spending on the wedding week-I hate to do it again now! lol

I just got rates back from sandals negril-they were ok.......I think I may get some for Couples Swept Away too. See? I dont know what to be at! Negril has always been my dream vacation-it only makes sense to splurge and go for it---*sigh*

thanks for the help....
