Sandy Haven is a very gracious, appealing boutique hotel smack in the middle of Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica's finest beach. The hotel is small, quiet, clean, gracious, and well managed. It is steps from the beach, with ample public spaces: tables on the terrace overlooking the beach, pleasant waterfront bar, and adequate-sized (and clean) pool. The staff is pleasant and competent (special shoutout to Rowan, reservation manager, who provided expert help with all arrangements, such as taxis and restaurant reservations). Two suggestions: upgrade the continental breakfast, which is barely adequate; and hire more staff: the present staff is overworked, which inevitably means service delays.

We had a very nice beachfront view. Daily housekeeping and coffee provided every day. Free continental breakfast very basic with juice, coffee, bread and fruit. Only ate lunch there several times. 45-75 minute wait for food, but that’s the standard on the island. Be sure to check your bill every time before signing. They had our room number wrong twice and when checking out we had a $60 charge not belonging to us. Management corrected that. WiFi extremely slow and no cable TV. Overall a nice place, but not 4 stars. More like a 3

We arrived on New Year’s Eve. The resort had nothing going and the bar closed at 9 . No one mentioned that the restaurant on site was closed bongos. We had no TV for 3 days even though we told them on day one we got the run around. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and every morning at 5:30-6 it was loud due to staff. The only thing we did love was the beach . I don’t recommend this resort to anyone.

The staff was great! Our TV didn’t work, we asked about it and never got a response. There is no Wi Fi at this resort. The hot tub doesn’t work and looks like it has been broken for awhile. The pool didn't look like it was working. The restaurant Bongo’s never looked like it was open and the food was poor quality. The owner of this resort needs to fix and update this resort. Also i like to have room service and I didn’t feel like it was available and i wasn't sure what i would be getting. The water in the shower worked most of the time but the hot water didn't always work. This was the first time we booked for 2 weeks and we were very disappointed that these simple amenities weren’t working or available. Will not stay here again!

The hotel did not have wifi but during checkin I was informed they did have WiFi. Waited forever to check in. The breakfast was literally bread and tea with a mimosa and some fruit. Stay at negril tree house it’s much better. The severs at breakfast and all the staff at the beach were wonderful, also the older lady who was the receptionist at night was wonderful as well. However the tall guy Edward lied and said they had WiFi. Having wifi is important as an international traveler. Ownership doesn’t seem to care about this hotel anymore so I would advice against staying here unless nothing else is available!

This was the worst hotel stay of my life! From check in, to nothing working, lack of service and rude staff the overall experience was more stressful and far from a vacation. There was no tv or internet for 6 days of our stay. No one had answers or was willing to help with the situation. As well when we asked for something or for someone to come help with something, the request has to be asked multiple times and still at times no one responded to the specific need. Lastly the hotel took it upon themself to charge my credit card when they wanted and when it was time to leave they held us hostage as they said we owed more money. This was the worst experience to date from all my travel experiences and I would never suggest anyone to stay there as they will only cause stress and trouble throughout the vacation.

Slider on balcony didn’t lock, no tv, no internet service, gym equipment was broken (cardio machines), no hand soap for the entire time! Chef was 45 minutes late on most mornings for breakfast. Complimentary breakfast was good; however, took over an hour to get it. Bar tenders Andre and Kenyon were the only positives of the entire stay! Andre was rushed to close down every night even though the bar was full each night!

We stayed for 1 week- arrived on Saturday. The wifi was out by Tuesday night. The televisions were smart TV’s and no cable so the remainder of the trip no wifi no internet in the rooms. During the day had to sit next to the adjacent hotel to pick up wifi. The management was immediately aware and acted indifferent as if they didn't care, suggested it was out on the entire island due to the service provider (Flow) which we discovered one of the workers suggested they didn't pay their bill. Each time we raised the issued they acted as though management was not aware - really?

We chose Sandy Haven Resort as our homebase for my birthday celebration. The property is lovely and so was the staff. They even decorated my room while I was out for the day and gifted me a bottle of champagne. The beach is divine - one of the best beaches on the island. Highly recommend.
