We looked at the Sandals thing when we were planning as well. I think the fact that I have too much ADD to sit by the pool/ocean all day was enough to kill it for me. I also read reviews for a week solid in regards to hurricane season, and room types. As I'm cheap and was trying tgo find best bang for buck. We were looking at St. Lucia and Antigua, and actually settled on Antigua. But, with little to do other than eat, drink, sleep, pool, ocean, we decided not to do a Sandals resort. I will say that you don't need to goto a travel agent to book a sandals resort. That's a joke and a half. Just book through Sandals. They even do a honeymoon registry, but they take a % off the top.
