The property was quiet nice, I particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet this boutique hotel offered. There were not many people around and that gave alot of intimacy to our trip, we enjoyed the beach and sitting on the pier on the evenings for dinner. Very relaxed atmosphere.

I like that the property was located on the beach. The choice of American vs local breakfast was good. There could have been more choices on the dinner menu, however the chefs did well with meals, and the food was delicious. The hotel staff was very friendly. I did not like that it was open access to the public and many locals roamed the property, which made it unsafe. Room furniture was very scarce, and I had to request seating. Toiletries were sparse and you had to wait up to 3 hours s for a beach or bath towel.

This my honest and heartfelt review, I did some research online before I book this little paradise in Jamaica, if I had base my decision on the negative reviews I wouldn't have come here but let me tell you, you have to go here to experience it for yourself. This little hotel is family run and they are still improving the property , the staff are amazingggg the food is delicious the room have all the amenities for a comfortable stay, room is clean you get jamaican coffee, tea and bottles of water in your room. The view of the ocean from the room during sunrise and sunset is to die for, the way to get here is through a local community village of fishermen that looks out for the area, it might seems sketchy but it's safe and the owners never had issues all the years they've been here. This hotel have a river beside the property so you have both the beach and the river, when I say I didn't want to leave this property because if the tranquility and the beauty of this place I almost cried thinking about going back home to my first world life. To sum it up go and experience it for yourself everyone is looking for different things and for us this was the perfect vacation. Thanks to the team at sand and tan beach hotel I will spread positive word about this piece of paradise

This is not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are not as clean as they appear on the website and the air conditioning is questionable. The staff was rude and unaccommodating and the restaurant did not have half the items listed on the menu. It was so bad we had to check out almost immediately and go somewhere else.

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 sucked 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 area around the property was dilapidated in one direction; another direction was a nudist beach, another direction had a lot of panhandlers (but not unsafe). The property itself was quaint, quiet, charming and absolutely delightful. The staff was friendly and attentive. A great experience!

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.

I didn't like constantly looking for US dollars. I really l;ike all -inclusive. I found the hotel lacking in amenities It is very simple but the staff are superb. And I like being right on the beach even if the waves come almost up to the second floor.That I understand doesn't occur very often. It's too bad there's no room for a salt water swimming pool. But I hope to see you all again. Sheila

The moment I walked into the dingy front desk office, I wanted to leave. After I saw my room which was updated, large and clean. I decided to stay, wrong decision. Right below my room workmen were doing construction on the bar until 10pm. It was not safe to walk around at night, so must taxi everywhere. Hotel does have 24 hour security. Wonderful staff and good restaurant on premises. Hotel needs serious renovation, also beach was rocky and dirty.

Not what I was expecting for the money is not a 3 star, if I didn’t know, it look like that, I wouldn’t stay there ,The hotel is in the middle of nowhere dogs chasing you at night , The beach view is very nice. Breakfast was okay chicken is a bit bony, day room cleaning service is very slow. I went away and come back and there still hasn’t clean the room so have to wait around till they clean the room.

when we showed up it was not the best impression, there is a road to access the property that is nice but gated off so you have to go way around down a pretty beat up road to access the property (from what we heard the property owners could open up the gate that would allow acces from the good road but just dont??) it is an older hotel that has had an effort to update, overall its decent, pretty good beach, nice views (there is au natural/nude beach across the way, not close enought to see details, but its there) overall it was decent, would probably stay again

Perfect relaxing beachfront property. All rooms face the ocean. Nice beachfront bar. Food choices plentiful, but found they were out of many menu items throughout our 4 day stay. Also food service was at times very, very slow. All staff were friendly and helpful. Since it’s beachfront, it would have been nice to have beach towels in rooms. Great WiFi through the entire property. Loved having the free use of paddle boards.
