It is nice to see that others have had a great experience with Sandals however, our experience has been horrible, and we feel very cheated. Trent and his workers started this project but then as time went by, it became very clear that our project was being put on the back burner due to other projects. We contacted Sandals pools way before Covid was an issue and signed a contract in March 2020 to be completed in 3 months. It has been a full year and the job has never been completed. We started to notice that we saw less and less of Trent and eventually less of the project manager as well as the workers. After many attempts to contact them, we would get two or three random individuals that did not know what to do on the project and needed direction. The pool was eventually installed 6 months later but everything around it such as the pool deck sealant and caulking, proper grading, drainage (that actually drained), retaining wall and a few other things were not completed. We were supposed to get a pool vacuum and other items per the contact and never did. In the process, two of our large trees that Trent relocated himself died due to their negligence and were never replaced as promised. We always made our installment payments on time but all we kept getting were reasons as to why the guys were not there and the key phrase “I’m Sorry”. Weeks would go by without a word from anyone. We never got an update unless we actually called for one and we surely never knew when they would be back to complete their job. Trash was left in our yard until we called them about it. No one would show up for days at a time even if it wasn’t raining. To make matters worse, we had them build a retaining wall for us, but the wall had to be redone by someone else because of the poor job that their workers did. Even our neighbors noticed the poor construction. This is just a brief description of our experience with Sandals. There is so much more to state that would express our disappointment with this company. We later found out on Better Business Bureau and other pool contractors that we were not the only people that this had happened too. Make sure to ask around about them. This seems to be their reputation that some may know about. Unfortunately for us, we found out too late.
