Sand and Tan Beach Hotel

Wonderful staff. The food was really delicious

I like the view and it right on the beach also the staff were amazing

We had a few issues during our stay. Some were resolved and one was not. Our room was on the first floor near the bar with a deck leading out to the bar. When we arrived in the afternoon, with the music playing, we asked to be relocated and we’re told no rooms were available. During dinner, our neighbors started playing their music as loud as the bar. It’s then, after dinner, we noticed our air conditioning wasn’t working. I alerted security to the music and the front desk about the air conditioning. We were then assigned a room on the 3rd floor at the opposite end of the hotel. For our last two nights, we didn’t have hot water; it was tepid. We alerted the front desk and it wasn’t fixed by the time we left. No, we did not ask ti move to another room; we just ****** it up. The food was absolutely delicious at Sand and Tan. If you don’t have a car (we did) the dining options are very limited. We ate breakfast (included in our stay) and dinner every night at the hotel. The public beach area was nice and was probably nicer before they had terrible rain early February.

- My room had a very foul smell coming from the bathroom. It smelled of old pipes/sewer gas. The shower head was glogged and mainly sprayed water out of 1 main sprayer that was missing. I figured the smell was the age of the hotel. Nothing that could be fixed during my stay. Same with the shower head. Constant smell of garbage burning overnight. Drapes did not close all the way. I needed to use a hair clip! - ALWAYS CALL A LOCAL TAXI. The hotel claims they have a taxi service, but it is a personal driver who changes his price. Don't assume the price is honest. It still bothers me to think how I was gouged. Also the passenger air bag had been deployed and is now being fastened with a screw. Call a local taxi! - The pictures of the hotel are very outdated. The waves come right up the beach now. On good days you have a few feet. Wear water shoes or sandals in the water. The rocks are jagged. - If you go swimming without other tourists nearby, YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH CHANCE OF BEING HASSLED. I stopped swimming because of this. The locals will come on to the hotel property and follow you. They will also congregate at the only exit door, making it uncomfortable for you to walk around freely. You have to use that way or leave your sliding glass door unlocked, which is unsafe. - Look up the reviews for KAZ KREOLE. The hotel changed names and the bad reviews are left unheard. PLEASE, SINGLE WOMEN, AVOID THIS HOTEL. IT IS UNSAFE!

The closeness to the ocean is mind blowing. The bay is quiet. The hotel is a perfect place to relax. The hotel employees are like family, charming, natural, lovely. I can recommend this hotel as a true gem.

A real taste of Jamaica. No frills, clean and quiet with breakfast included. Water sports and spa services available. The sunset is the best. Beachfront property

I love this hotel so much I found out about this place on TikTok and decide to give it a try, great food good vibes and amazing ocean view. I love sleeping and hearing the ocean beat on the shores I recommend you give it a try you won’t be disappointed and also they have a beautiful beach and a river beside the property

Our experience was amazing if you are looking for peaceful stay good food access to beach and river then this is the place for you. They have a river flowing right beside the property and the ocean view from all rooms during sunrise and duvet is amazing. The food is really good and the staff is Amazing. This place is definitely a slice of paradise
