How long is the drive to Sandals Resorts?
Drive time from airport to Sandals Resorts
This question usually means:
"How long from the time I land at the airport until I am on the beach with a cold drink?"
Note: Getting through immigration and customs can take anywhere form 30 minutes to over an hour or more . In Jamaica, using Club Mobay Arrival Service can save you a lot of time geting throuhg through immigration and customs. Once through, you will go to the Sandals Airport Lounge or transfer desk. How long Sandals takes to get you to your transfer vehicle varies. The longest we have waited is 45 minutes. Once on board you may get moving right away or wait for 20 minutes or longer. If you have arranged a private transfer ( Jamaica, St. Lucia) you will be on your way within 5 or 10 minutes.

RETURN TRIP
The latest policy is for Sandals to make sure you are back at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight is scheduled to depart. Generally transfers depart every hour on the hour. You can add 3 hours to the travel times above and figure that is how far in advance of your flight time you will be leaving the resort to head back to the aiport. You are staying at Sandals Whitehouse and your flight departs at 2:20 pm. Your transfer will probably leave the hotel at 9:00 am.
Have a great trip!
