The Sandal wood is an OK place to stay, it's a little out of the way so yu'll rely on cabs to get around. It does have a one way shuttle to the main city that you can book for the night before. The pool is shallow. The bar and restaurant are great, food is good and cocktails really good, staff are rreally nice and friendly. Beach is only about 50 metres away with a section for the hotle guests, chairs and umbrellas, walk to it is however along a dirty waterway. Our Penthouse was on the top floor and our beach view through some trees was disspointing as the main view from that window was the rubbish area. The hotel has no lifts, so you'll need to use stairs. Our floors were filthy, and after asking them to clean it, which they did, it didn't help. they use dirty mops and water, so bring slippers or you'll have black underneaths of your feet. Biggest issue, other than the cleanliness was the airport pick up service. We advised a flight number and scheduled times, our flight was changed and left early, so we arrived early. All other passengers on our flight had their drivers waiting except for us, we waited for 20 minutes and then got a taxi. When we arrived at the hotels we were told we should have waited until the driver arrived and said we had to pay. Unsure why they couldn't check the flight schedule on the day like everywhere else in the world does, and why they made us feel like it was our fault the airline decided to change the flight time. Use a taxi, you'll save as well
