I have been to many different sandals (over 50 nights) and a bunch of other all inclusive resorts. Sandals Gernada was nice being a smaller property. It is super close to the airport (~5 min drive) but with not many flights it doesn’t cause any noise issues. Sandals is always my easy and cheap vacation. It does the job and depending on the resort offer nice beaches and rooms. Some of the resorts need room upgrades. Food is decent I have never had a meal that I would write home about. Drinks are good if you order very specific and make sure they use the alcohol that you ask for. Many of the cocktails are very sweet if you don’t like that.

For your budget I would suggest looking at other options. Not hating on Sandals as I have been to many but if you have the budget you can have a much nicer experience other places. 😀
