hey richie,
we stayed at sandos last year and had a great vacation! They have blow dryers in the rooms and toiletries. The food is great, many pools and make sure you sign up for the vip card on their website-many perks. If you want to go into town after the shuttle is done it only costs 10 bucks us, just make sure you confirm the price with your taxi driver and if there is another couple waiting, share the fare! There is also a card(your room key) to activate the electricity for after the power goes off and it will but usually temporarily. Definately bring watershoes and bugspray, you will need both.
Hope this helps! have an awesome trip...
