Sandals in Jamaica & Royal Bahamaian did a terrible job, i was sick at both places, and I also recieved a voucher for a second trip which was the Bahamas trip. I met with a chef prepared my visit in advance and they did not understand food preparation or contamination factors.
That being said we went on a Beaches( same as Sandals but for family) vacation in Turks. I cannot brag enough about their concern, care and efforts to provide me and my children gluten free meals and snack, and even a care package for the airport trip home. They have won our hearts and trust and we will go back again!

We just returned from Sandals Whitehouse Jamaica. While they said they could accommodate a gluten free diet and did have a chef meet me upon arrival- they did an TERRIBLE job!!!! I got contaminated food all week. I was so sick, that I had to go to the nurses station twice. We almost called in the doctor. By the time I arrived home I had ciliac induced bronchitis. The resort gave us a three day voucher for a return trip, but honestly, I was so sick, I would be afraid to return to any Sandals resort!

Hi, it seems that St. Joseph Institute has changed, and is no longer a resort…

I live in Italy and I’ve travelling to USA with my wife and our 11-year-old son, who is celiac. Could you kindly tell me if there is a hotel in New York and a resort or village in Antigua or St Thomas where gluten free meals are served?
I thank you for any suggestion you can send to me.
Best wishes,
Jesus
