Inspired by the great Italian Renaissance period and named after the world-famous waterfall located minutes away, this breathtaking resort combines Mediterranean elegance with Jamaican charm, about 50 miles east of Montego Bay airport.

Sandals Dunn's River represents an amazing combination of Caribbean charm with an Italian Renaissance style in its vaulted ceilings, marble columns and an ornate staircase. We have carried through an Italian theme to our staff, bringing nearly two dozen performers, musicians and chefs directly from Italy.

Relax in the clear blue water of the island's largest pool with a cascading waterfall. Or make all sorts of waves with windsurfing, sailing, kayaking and water-skiing.

We traveled to Jamaica for our wedding and it couldnt have been any better. The Sandals staff bends over backwards for anything you need. The room was spotless when we arrived and was cleaned twice a day. I noticed that when someone checked out, the room was completely wiped down, even the door trim. The food was great and if you wanted seconds...then you just had to ask. The resort was always being cleaned and the beach was combed each morning. Couldnt have asked for more!

Date of Stay: March, 2009

Had a great time. The staff gave us cold wet cloths and a drink as we got off the bus.That was a nice touch. The wait staff were very helpful and pleasant. It was well worth the money for all you could eat and drink. The shows were very funny and entertaining. We are now planning a Sandals trip to St. Lucia next winter. The only thing i wish was different , would be the bed. It was a king but im so used to my Kingsdown. It was not the most comfortable bed.

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!!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Made me feel relaxed;the atmosphere is "no problem" and no worries! I recommend you try your hand at some tennis lessons. They offer complimentary lessons throughout the week but a private or group lesson is very affordable and worth it. The tennis coach, [...] delivered exceptional customer service! If you are looking for a resort that has a calm nightlife, this is the one for you. No loud music is played at night, no music is played at the bars unless there is a pianist playing. Overall, I'm very pleased with this resort and what it has to offer!

Date of Stay: February, 2009

This was our first stay at a Sandals, and is certainly will not be our last. The staff is terrific and do their best to make your stay enjoyable. My wife and I played two rounds of golf at the Sandals Country Club. If you are a golfer, it is a fun course to play. There is even a short pitch and putt course at the Dunn River property that we played several times. The resort offers many water sports. The snorkeling was very good and the Hobie Cats were easy to sail.

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.

The hotel was great with the exception that the bathroom was so small you had to straddle the toliet to shut the door. We have stayed at Ocho Rios Sandals before and found that the staff at that location seemed friendlier but we still had a wonderful trip.

	Date of Stay: August, 2007
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.

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
We stayed here for 4 days and the breakfast was the only meal that was good. We couldn't go to two restaurants because men needed to wear pants. The drinks were OK but the bar services as far as bring you the drinks while you were on the beach or by the pool did not exist! The last trip I took in February was to Cancun and I stayed at Dreams. The service, food and drinks were fantastic!

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.

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.

	Date of Stay: September, 2006
Me and my wife were there for our honeymoon back in september and it was absolutly amazing. The ride in was a bit bumpy but from the staff memebers i have kept in touch with, they have finished most of the construction on the road leading there. Nothing but BBCs and Sunshine for me.

Date of Stay: August, 2006

My husband and I spent 4 wondeful nights at Sandals Dunn's River. The property and rooms were immaculate. The food was delicious and presented elegantly. There was never a wait in any of the four restaurant. Lounge chairs on the beach and pool were readily available. The resort exceeded expectations due to the spirit and friendliness of the Jamaican people. Staff seemed happy to be there and genuinely interested in your needs. We travel extensively; however this was our first time 'vacationing'. This is the perfect destination if you want to 'vacation' with someone you love.

"The pool and staff were great. After 20 years we renwed our vows and it was perfect. We answered a few question and the staff took care of erverthing.The only problem was it took me a whole day to slow down, relax and enjoy. Can't wait to go back"

	Date of Stay: April, 2006
"Beatiful hotel. Great pool, beach and people. Staff was very friendly and we did not have to spend a dime. The food at the resturaunts can be better, but the pizza was great. Ride to resort is 2 hours but well worth the trip."
