My fiance and I vacationed with 6 of our friends for 8 days during the month of January. We all said that we have had the best vacation ever. We have all been to different Sandals and resorts and by far this was the best. The service, food, amenities and scenery were amazing! We also thought that we got a... More

We were slightly deceived with the resort from looking at the online map. It is 2 seperate resorts with a main road between the two. It didnt bother us at all, we stayed on the ocean side. Some Places were better than others, Kellys dockside was amazing, but very hard to get a reservation. We took several tours and enjoyed... More

We have travelled the last 12 years 2 weeks + every year and I can say this was the worst place I have been for the type of money. Way to many stairs. Wheel chairs or even a slight handicap with walking would be no good at this resort. The same food for every breakfast at both buffets. The lunch... More

We spent 12 days at this resort and enjoyed our vacation. It is the third time we have experienced a Sandals. The grounds are beautiful, very well maintained and clean. The food was excellent. There are a lot of stairs and slippery walkways at this resort. I would not recommend it for anyone who falls easily or has mobility issues.... More

This was our second trip to Jamaica through our travel agents Nancy and Tom Finn at www.myislandgetaways.com and as always they knew exactly what we were looking for. We had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and spent a lot of time on the beach. Deep sea fishing with Lipton and his son was exciting and we also enjoyed... More

We enjoyed a relaxing trip from Feb 1-8th. One issue was the number of stairs that are all over this resort. Upon checking in we were taken to a villa, that had about 30 stairs. Too many stairs for a person with mobility issues. We asked to go back to the main desk, and they switched us to a villa... More

We travelled to Ocho Rios Grande Riviera for one week from November 5th to the 12th, 2011. We were a group of 11 people. My friends had recently married and invited a group of friends to join them on their honeymoon. This was my 3rd trip to Ocho Rios and the most expensive of all my travels. I must first... More

Too much hype for this resort, food was GREAT, but activities lacked for an all inclusive as we have had better. Many guests did not get the room that they booked and restaurants only booked reservation at 2 of the restaurants, but the was always empty seats. Go figure! More

All resorts have mixed reviews, but try to ignore the negative ones that are posted. We couldn't have had a better time. A fellow traveller put it best: "no trip is going to be absolutely perfect, find the things you enjoy the most at the resort, and continue to do them." The shuttle bus to the resort was approx. 90...
