The room is very spacious. From reading previous reviews, the hot tub has been broken for a long time, it was not working during our stay. the pool was dirty. The fridge in the room never was cold, which was another common thing I had read in the reviews that it commonly didn’t work. Breakfast at the sandy haven is mediocre. You are offered a continental breakfast, which is a small plate of fruit and toast. They also offer mimosas, but only had champagne one day of our stay. We didn’t spend much time at this resort. We had friends staying next door at coco la palm, we spent most of our time in their chairs and using their hot tub. The drinks at the bar of shandy haven are expensive. The sandy haven beach isn’t very big. If you just want a room to sleep in and find a different beach this place is perfect for just going to sleep. I suggest finding a friend at cocolapalm and hanging out on their beach.

I liked the quietness of the property. Rooms were large and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and polite. It is close to dining options within walking distance either from the beach or along Norman Manley Blvd. The only issue was the water availability, at times it took a while for the hot water to work especially later in the day and late one night there was no water at all. Otherwise everything else was very good and I would return to visit another time. Overall I recommend this property.

Sandy Haven is a very gracious, appealing boutique hotel smack in the middle of Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica's finest beach. The hotel is small, quiet, clean, gracious, and well managed. It is steps from the beach, with ample public spaces: tables on the terrace overlooking the beach, pleasant waterfront bar, and adequate-sized (and clean) pool. The staff is pleasant and competent (special shoutout to Rowan, reservation manager, who provided expert help with all arrangements, such as taxis and restaurant reservations). Two suggestions: upgrade the continental breakfast, which is barely adequate; and hire more staff: the present staff is overworked, which inevitably means service delays.

We had a very nice beachfront view. Daily housekeeping and coffee provided every day. Free continental breakfast very basic with juice, coffee, bread and fruit. Only ate lunch there several times. 45-75 minute wait for food, but that’s the standard on the island. Be sure to check your bill every time before signing. They had our room number wrong twice and when checking out we had a $60 charge not belonging to us. Management corrected that. WiFi extremely slow and no cable TV. Overall a nice place, but not 4 stars. More like a 3

We arrived on New Year’s Eve. The resort had nothing going and the bar closed at 9 . No one mentioned that the restaurant on site was closed bongos. We had no TV for 3 days even though we told them on day one we got the run around. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and every morning at 5:30-6 it was loud due to staff. The only thing we did love was the beach . I don’t recommend this resort to anyone.

The staff was great! Our TV didn’t work, we asked about it and never got a response. There is no Wi Fi at this resort. The hot tub doesn’t work and looks like it has been broken for awhile. The pool didn't look like it was working. The restaurant Bongo’s never looked like it was open and the food was poor quality. The owner of this resort needs to fix and update this resort. Also i like to have room service and I didn’t feel like it was available and i wasn't sure what i would be getting. The water in the shower worked most of the time but the hot water didn't always work. This was the first time we booked for 2 weeks and we were very disappointed that these simple amenities weren’t working or available. Will not stay here again!
