Hi Girls!  My husband and I are celebrating our 1 year anniv this January and are looking to go to Jamaia possibly.  We would like to stay at a Sandals.  WHich resorts have you been to because there are a few in Jamaica that Sandals offers.  Also, why did you like it or not?  Thanks so much!!!

Re: which Sandals resort in Jamaica?

  • I am getting married at Beaches Negril and then honeymooning at Sandals Negril. I have done TONS of research and found that Sandals Negril has the best beach in Jamaica and the best sunsets! My TA also says it is the bomb. I totally trust her opinion too because she has been to all of them and has asked me so many questions about my perfect Sandals FIT that it made sense for me. But your specifics could be different. If you want more activities you might look towards the Ochos Rios side. I totally suggest contacting a TA. Mine is Jennifer at VIP Vacations. I know a ton of girls on here use her, but her email is Jennifervipvacationsinc@verizon.net HTH's!

  • We went to Sandals Grande Ocho Rios just few weeks ago for our HM and it was awesome!   There is so much to do at the resort as well as lots of local excursions, including Dunns River Falls.     The restaurants were all excellent, and you can go to Sandals Dunn's River which is just down the road.The only negative is that it is about and 1 hour 45 min. bus ride from the airport to the resort.   I didn't mind so much because it gave us the opportunity to see what different parts of Jamaica.
  • Negril!! My brother honeymooned there and raved about it.  Get the butler though, they said that made it tops!
  • any of them except the sandals inn

  • Definitely Sandals Negril....
  • I booked Sandals Ocho Rios for a week in November. I think it depends on your price range. Note that Sandals Inn is just a hotel it doesnt even have its own private beach! I think for the money Couples offers a little more... they have trips included and every room and a mini bar. At Sandals in Ocho Rios not all the rooms have a mini bar and to get the best service you have to get a butler. We didnt have a lot of $$ so we are staying in Ocho Rios which I hear is awesome in a regular garden view room. Good luck where ever you go!

  • Thanks girls!  I am going to contact a TA and also check out Couples!
  • I just wanted to add that you do not need a butler to get the best service at Sandals Ocho Rios.    Whereas we did have a butler, we talked to plenty of people while at the resort who didn't have a butler and they raved about the place and how much fun they were having.    You could get a concierge room if you really want a mini-bar in your room.
  • It depends what you are looking for.  Are you into the beach or the pool?  Sandals Negril has an amazing beach while the beach is basically non-existent at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios.  We stayed at Ocho Rios a two years ago and Negril this past winter.  While we were at Ocho Rios we went to Sandals Dunns River almost every day because it had a better beach.  Had we known how bad the beach was at Sandals Ocho Rios we never would have booked there.  Negril has a beautiful, long beach which you can walk on for a long distance and the sunsets are amazing. 
  • we are actually looking at Sandals Grande in St. Lucia, but this feedback has been great! Thank you!
