Sandals South Coast, Jamaica Overwater Bungalow Details

Located in Whitehouse, Sandals South Coast is a secluded and peaceful resort in a nature reserve. This romantic resort is popular for honeymoons and destination weddings, and the overwater bungalows have recently been refurbished and are located off to one side of the resort for privacy.

The Blue Mahoe Overwater Butler Villas at Sandals South Coast give you direct access to the Caribbean from an expansive private deck that features a Tranquility Soaking Tub for two, overwater hammock, outdoor shower, bistro set, and swim-up platform. The interior features a see-through glass floor insert for underwater views, vaulted ceilings, a king-size bed, and a spa-like bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. It comes with 24-hour in-room dining and personal butler service.

Sandals South Coast offers 9 restaurants, 7 bars including a swim-up bar, 4 pools, 4 whirlpools, and a wide variety of included activities including both motorized and nonmotorized watersports.

Sandals Royal Caribbean, Jamaica Overwater Bungalow Details

The overwater bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay are located on a private offshore island, set around a heart-shaped walkway over the turquoise Caribbean. The island also has peaceful beaches, a pool with swim-up bar, and a great Thai restaurant.

Both include butler service and 24/7 room service, as well as private airport transfers and water taxi service back and forth to the main resort. They are currently being renovated and are expected to be open in December 2025.

What people say about us

We worked with Mike to plan our perfect honeymoon in Greece — he was amazing the whole way through and put together a trip we will cherish for our lifetime.

He was thoughtful with our suggestions, and provided some of his own without every pushing us. He stayed within our budgetary means but made it feel like we had a budget twice the size.

Dan and Michelle were such a joy to work with! They really made our trip and cruise successful. Based on our needs they were able to help us identify and schedule what side trips and activities would best suit our interests.

After this trip I will be using a travel agent for future vacations…just can’t wait for the next one they help us plan!

Honeymoon Always has been fantastic- our trips were 1000% better because of their help. The first time we used them we wanted to have a fun trip with some cultural experiences, good food, not too packed, and for a good price. It was fantastic and now we've used them for several trips in Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. Each trip was so different but they were able to make each one special and unique to our needs.
