"It isn't the most glamorous, or the most upscale, of the Sandals resorts, but the chain's management makes it their flagship." Full review

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.

Choose the Riu over any other older property in town thanks to lively recreational areas and a pretty, but small, beach.
