| Sandals Dunn River was a beautiful resort with an attention to detail. The grounds were well kept and stunning. The room and pool area were always well maintained and clean. The only downside was the willingness of some bartenders to pour more liquor in your drink. |

| My husband and I just returned from Dunn's River for our 10 year anniversary. It was very relaxing, good food and a nice room. We weren't in the room very much because the pool and beach were so nice. we also did a few excursions. The spa is great for a massage! The staff is very friendly and accomodating. Definitely try the Jamaica Smile drink!! |

| Went for vacation and had a great time. The property is very nice. The room we stayed in faced the ocean and we upgraded for the Jacuzzi tub and room service; well worth it. Can't beat breakfast on your balcony overlooking the ocean every morning. We drink a lot so the all inclusive, especially the mini-bar, paid off. You have to try the Jamaican Smile... The staff was GREAT! We actually kept wondering if all Jamaicans are this friendly or is it because they have to be for work. The food was good. We paid to have the candlelight dinner on the beach and it was absolutely our best meal. Our other meals were good, though they never were exceptional. We recommend a local Jerk shack that is about a 5 minute cab ride from the resort. Just ask the staff were to get the best Jerk chicken from and they will all tell you Scotches. The beach is a little small and there are jet skis flying around out there. We likened it to the Wild West. Though, if we really wanted a secluded beach we wouldn't have gone to such a populated and tourist trap island like Jamaica. There are other islands for seclusion, but I could see how it would upset some people. The best excursions do cost, and they are not cheap. However, considering how much this was and what we got for it we thought it was a great value, we had a great time, ate too much, drank even more, relaxed as much as we wanted to, enjoyed a beautiful water and weather, and would recommend it. |

| We went to Sandals Dunns River for our Honeymoon and it was fantastic. The resort was beautiful, the staff friendly, and there were exciting activities planned all day and night. I would recommend this resort to couples on their honeymoon, or any couple that just wants a romantic getaway. |

| Wow - I must had a quite a different experience than other posters. While we still enjoyed our vacation - this property was not worth its "premium" tag from sandals or even a good place to go. The problem is not with the property itself (physical building/ground was beautiful) - rather its their human capital and what surrounds this resort. If you are looking for a quiet beach where you could read - forget it. Right next to this property is a shanty town made up of local vendor and wave-runner rental business. While the picture here doesn't show the shanty town (to the right side of the resort), its definitely there now. There's two problem with this setup - 1) the vendor and their employee smoke pot (and you can smell it all day long just laying on the beach), 2) the wave runner rental and its users run all day. The noise and the gasoline fume was too much at times and had to get off the beach. Funny thing is, they only go back and forth in front of this resort (and dangerous at times). If I wanted to hear engine noise all day long, I would of stayed in NJ. There are other issues,1) Staff is not friendly - its like they are doing you a favor (and we're are very friendly people). This was encountered everywhere (restaurants, especially).2) Beach is tiny (roped in swimming area). This is because they have water sport rental on right and snorkel/scuba boat launch on left. Basically people go in for a bit and come back out. No swimming can be attempted.In the end, this property is not worth its money - even at half the cost. Hope this is helpful. |
