VIDEO: Touring the New Sandals Overwater Bungalows in Jamaica

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 21, 2016

Just like you, we’ve been eager to see the new overwater bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica. And we recently checked into one of five oases just offshore from the Montego Bay resort for a preview.

And we’re impressed. Each of the 1,200-square-foot, one-bedroom “villas,” (which will welcome guests next month) has its own infinity pool and over-water hammock; a freestanding bathtub and private deck with steps down to the sea.

Overwater Bungalows

There are two viewing windows in the floor (one in the bedroom, one on the deck), and private butler service is included in the rate.

A dozen 900-square-foot overwater rooms, scheduled to be complete next spring, are already in hot demand.
