My wife and I spent 7 nights at the Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Resort celebrating our honeymoon (Aug. 2010). The all-inclusiveness of Sandals started when we first arrived at the Sandals lounge in the Montego Bay airport - where we then could grab a bite to eat and help ourselves to the beer (Red Stripe) on tap. The bus ride... More

My wife and I came back from six days in SGR. We stayed there four years ago before the renovations. We had high expectations and Sandals did not live up to them. The front desk treats you differntly if you have butler or concierge than if you do not when you arrive. It is to the point that you feel... More

Nice resort, beautiful property. The bar staff was wonderful. Always happy and making great drinks. The wait staff and breakfast and lunch was also wonderful. However, dinner was a completely different story. Our first night, we tried Soy Sushi, portions were tiny ( even for sushi restaurant) and quality was poor. When we politely inquired to the waitress if we... More

We traveled to Sandals Grande Riviera 5/19-5/26 and I cannot say enough good things about this trip. We booked 5 months in advance and prior to our departure I read the reviews on this website daily, even emailing contributors with various questions that I had. To be honest, I am glad I did because I knew what to expect and... More

This is a huge resort, actually three large resorts joined together, but getting around is easy, jitneys on the hilly Manor site and frequent shuttle between all three. We usually managed to stop a passing jitney when we wanted one, although you can ring for one. If you want do party from dawn to dusk you can do that, or... More

The view is stunning, the resort beautiful, the rooms exquisite and that's where, unfortunately, it ends. On the plus side, the concierge service we paid extra for was amazing, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, starting our day with a friendly smile and ending our evenings the same way. Housekeeping was efficient if somewhat noising when trying to sleep in, but... More

This was the best vacation of our lives! We only had one issue, but I'll save that for last. AIRPORT TO RESORT: We arrived in Montego Bay on 5/19/12. As soon as you get through customs and immigration, you are ushered into a very nice "club-like" room for Sandals guests only. Here you are welcome to comfy chairs, plenty of... More

I have had a timeshare at this property for 14 years. It has changed hands over the years and used to be a comfortable, one of a kind, employee friendly resort. Unfortunately that has changed as well. It now is the usual tourist resort hotel found in Most Anywhere, USA, with not much special about it. The property is huge... More

Stayed here with 34 friends and family to celebrate a wedding, and everyone had a spectacular time :)! Note: Because I like swimming in the ocean, I am happy that we were put on the ocean side:) Also don't miss out on the dirty bananas at the pool bar, or the coconut shrimp at the grill by the beach!!! -kimonos...
