The Directors of Poinciana Resorts Ltd, developers of the former Poinciana Beach Resort, will be assuming responsibility for the property, which has been operating under the banner of Beaches Sandy Bay for the past 15 years.  At the end of September 2012, Beaches Sandy Bay will close its doors.

  After a 30-day period of refurbishing, training, and transition, the new Sandy Bay Beach Resort will emerge.

Rates start at 1 per person, per night based on double occupancy, representing a grand opening savings of more than 50 percent; children age twelve and under are per night.
