    “this was my second stay at sandy haven and I can't begin to tell you how fabulous it was. I had the best room at the resort "111", roll out of bed and the oven is merely steps away. the staff goes above and beyond to assure you have whatever it is that you need. andre, our bartender makes the best Pina colada ever. if you are planning a trip to Jamaica don't pass by the sandy haven you won't regret it.. ”

  • Love this place will be back again very soon
