voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort by IHG

We enjoyed our stay and would like to return with a group of friends because it’s a beautiful resort and there are a lot of activities we enjoyed doing. It did feel like once we arrived, we didn’t need to leave the resort for anything. It’s a really nice feeling especially when traveling with kids. Additionally, the thoughtfulness of staff who remembered my name, who called me to check in on how we were doing at the resort, and the smiles and friendly staff who conversed with us and helped us during our stay added to the nice experience. Tennis really was a main attraction for us coming to Sandpiper; however, it’s no longer the primary reason we’d return. Check-in: The security at the gate had a big smile and was very nice when guiding us where to park and how to get to the front desk. The folks at the front desk were very nice and helpful. We were able to check our luggages in while we waited a little bit to check in without incurring additional charges per person. Wrist bands: We love it! This is so much easier in so many ways (one less card in our wallet & no fear of losing it). Despite it being a card we couldn’t remove from our wrists, the size of the card and bracelet didn’t bother us at all. Daily Activity sheet: We love it! It’s awesome to see and have the schedule for the whole day which made it easy to plan our day. Room: The room was very nice (comfort, cleanliness, space, and view). Having a double couch, an extra room with two beds and an extra tv, and an additional 1/2 restroom was really nice. The bed was comfy and finally! Comfortable pillows. We have stayed at a good number of hotels and nobody has good pillows! This was the first time we slept (away from home) without getting neck pain. This was truly a blessing! Food: We appreciate that food was constantly available even when the Riverside Market (buffet) was closed. It was nice to have popcorn and snow cones as treats in between meals. It was also nice that the treats setup was next to the cafe so it was easy to get our treats as we got our drinks from the cafe. Having nachos in the evening was also a nice treat. The buffet did have a nice spread for a soft opening and we assume there will be even more options with more guests in time. The food was good and the ambiance was inviting. We definitely appreciate that a water filling station was available in the lobby in addition to the fruit infused water. Activities: We definitely enjoyed the activities offered during our stay. The pool was beautiful and we made sure we got to the pool everyday we were there. It’s awesome that we got to play tennis in the clinics including our 7 year old daughter. She loved her time with Alex and said she wanted to come back. We, the adults, also loved our time on the courts. Not only did we get to enjoy the hard courts, we got to play on clay! That was a treat for sure! We also spent some time doing crafts (jewelry making and painting) and participating in the trivia challenge, and singing during the karaoke hour. The putting green, table tennis, pool table, foosball, shuffleboard were also fun for our family.

This might be the only dog-friendly all-inclusive resort in the U.S. Mindy the Crippler, our golden retriever, approved of her stay! Lots of other friendly dogs and they're welcome everywhere but inside the pool fences and the buildings. You can sip at an outdoor bar table or eat at the buffet restaurant's outdoor tables with your best friend. The grounds are shared with RPS, a high-end residential tennis academy, so the tennis instructors and facilities are world-class. The food quality is at the Hilton/Marriott level and commensurate with the (reasonable) price. The fact that almost everyone ate in the same restaurant for all three meals meant that it was a lot easier to get to know fellow guests compared to if everyone dispersed to independent restaurants nearby. Alcohol was included, but wine snobs might not be impressed. There are better restaurants in Stuart and some even in Port St. Lucie, but that's missing the point. Speaking of nearby, almost anything you'd want to buy is within a 10-minute drive (Walmart/Publix). A fabulous ocean beach (Jensen) is a 20-minute drive. Downtown Stuart, FL is about 15 minutes away and is a jewel. That's a huge plus compared to a lot of the Caribbean all-inclusive resorts where you're essentially a prisoner. Some of the gear isn't quite thought out. They have a magnificent regulation 22' shuffleboard table taking up a lot of space in the bar. But they don't have a wiper, silicone spray, or wax and, therefore, it is almost impossible to play (I suggested to the management that they go to the Shuffleboard Federation web site and get the required items). Without wax, in fact, the table will eventually be ruined from the pucks sliding without lubrication.

Beautiful place. The girls behind the bar were amazing. The barista in the cafe was awesome! Pools were clean and warm, staff was attentive. Highly recommend the yoga at sunset. We got some pickleball lessons while we were there and met wonderful guests to play pickleball with. There are activities all day. We went knowing we could go into town if needed but never left the resort. The rooms are older with a facelift but the beds are comfortable and watching the sunset from the balcony was beautiful. There’s so much to do we didn’t spend time in the room much.

We decided to try the resort out for the weekend, last minute. We came really excited for the opportunity to unwind and relax with our 4 year old. The resort accommodated us on the first day and even got us into our room early and let us have access to the premises for no extra charge. The room was very spacious and clean. I was especially happy about the mini fridge where we kept some snacks and drinks we enjoy. We stayed in the kind suite water front view. The large sliding doors opened out onto a view of a chic balcony. You can choose to let all the sunshine flood in or use the black out curtains for those afternoon naps. The resort food was really very yummy. The Riverside Market is a small food hall where they are consistent with a lot of their main courses like Alfredo and marinara with two pasta choices, or chicken tenders, fries, hot dogs, burgers, and pizza that were all more than just good. In addition they had different meals daily like chicken curry, or meat lasagna, mahi tacos, etc. Breakfast and Dinner follow the same style. I was particularly fond of the biscuits and gravy at breakfast and was happy they had it as an option everyday. The meal teams are during windows Breakfast being 6-10 lunch 12-2 dinner 6-9 but you can grabs things like the bbq tenders and fries or rivers at the hide way bar after 2.30. I kept reading about how the liquor was included but “ONLY THE WELL LIQUOR” and let me tell you the free drinks they offer are delicious. I couldn’t get enough Beach Mules if my life depended on it. Each day the put out an activities schedule of things that happen throughout the day. Things like morning arts & crafts, or trivia, Zumba, or sip & paint. We did our best to attend most of the hosted activities but not a lot of the other guests did which made it feel awkward sometimes. It was understandable given they’ve only been open a few weeks. The staff was so kind, the food was yummy, the drinks were fresh & free, the pool had a beach walk in for your littles, and there is so much potential with this place! We already booked our next stay for July 4th weekend and we look forward to taking over all the activities with all the family and friends we’ve been bragging about the Sandpiper to! See you soon!

We had the BEST stay at Sandpiper Bay All-Inclusive Resort! The staff is incredibly kind and attentive — they truly make you feel like family. Claire at the front desk went above and beyond during our stay in every way! The daily kids’ activities (arts & crafts, games, sports & more) were such a hit along with the mini golf & arcade and our 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath room was spacious and comfortable. The free kayaks were awesome! Really convenient and so much fun. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was — tons of delicious options at the buffet and great drinks at the bar. There are still some areas under construction, it didn’t impact our experience at all, and we’re excited to come back to see the new amenities that are being built like the splash pad. Bonus: the adults-only infinity pool is absolutely stunning too right overlooking the water. We can’t wait to return! This is an absolute gem of a hotel, and we had a wonderful family trip made extra special by how attentive and kind the staff is!

We are here right now, Jan 26, and are very satisfied! Room is great, just as pictured on website. Staff is very attentive, food at the Riverside Market is quite good with a good variety. All inclusive drinks are few, there is a charge for, like a can of beer or premium alcohol. Pools are awesome but not heated, infinity pool is quite chilly! Views are wonderful and the garden areas are coming along nicely. I thought the nightly price was worth it considering what you would pay at restaurants to eat out. Yes, it does have construction going on but it's not bothering us at all, they are very respectful. I hear day passes are quite reasonable. There are a lot of activities, even now with the construction. We will definitely be back as long as the prices don't skyrocket!

My husband and I enjoyed our recent stay at voco Sandpiper. Resort has a very relaxing, laid-back vibe. Overall property very clean, lots of choices throughout all the meals, and a good calendar of activities. We really enjoyed the peacefulness and view at the Infiniti Pool. Shout out to Yoga by Brooke for a fantastic class. Brooke took the time to learn my comfort level, resulting in a great workout. Loved the five-piece band too. Shout out to Leo who found something we had lost.

Our stay was wonderful! The facilities were very nice, and all the staff were professional, friendly, and helpful. (Shout-out to Kyle and Abby at the front desk, Samir and Sylvia in dining, David & Luis coordinating various activities, and ao many others). Even though the resort isn't completely finished yet, there is plenty to enjoy, from a good variety of tasty foods, to two pools, nightly live music, and activities for the whole family. We will definitely return!
