New’ Sandy Beach resort set to welcome guests Nov. 1

Beginning Oct. 1, the original developers will again assume responsibility for what has been Beaches Sandy Bay, with the Negril, Jamaica, property that has been operated by Sandals then being known as Sandy Bay Beach Resort. The all-inclusive resort will be for singles, couples and families. Located along the seven-mile stretch of beach in Negril, Sandy Bay Beach Resort will offer nine categories of rooms and suites with garden and ocean views, two pools, three specialty restaurants, Sandy Bay Spa, daily and evening activities, and a kids’ club. At the end of September, Beaches Sandy Bay will close its doors. After 30 days refurbishing, training and transition, the new Sandy Bay Beach Resort will emerge, ready to welcome guests from Nov. 1. Bookings are being accepted internationally at 1-800-SAND-207. Rates start at US$181 p.p., per night, based on double occupancy, representing a grand opening savings of more than 50%. Children 12 and under are US$32 per night. (http://www.sandybaybeachresort.com)
