Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach & Villa Resort

We spent October 15 - 22 at Sandals Grande. Stayed in the villas. The food at this resort is top notch - such variety of both local dishes and American dishes, fresh fruits & vegetables, wonderful service. A true delight. There are 7 restaurants and several beach bistros to choose from. The grounds were lovely, from the hammocks placed randomly for relaxing, numerous pools including our own private pool. The beach offered nice snorkeling (if you bring your own equipment), and also snorkeling on their 5-6 daily snorkel trips (they provide equipment). Great swimming and floating dock on the beach. Hobie cats, water trikes, kayaks, diving programs, golf, climbing wall, fitness center, squash & tennis courts, volleyball, ping pong, nightly entertainment, dance lessons .... much more! They offer shuttles every hour to Sandals Dunns River (15 minutes away) to enjoy their lovely restaurants and facilities as well. This is truly a lover's resort - very romantic. Many secluded areas to hide away. Highly recommended!

Absolutely 5 stars. We were spoiled rotten by the staff. Food in the multiple restaurants was outstanding. Wait staff and bartenders went far beyond being courteous and competent. The grounds were immaculate. Our unit was very comfortable and we had our own one of 90 pools on the grounds! The nightly entertainment was top-notch (Marley) and local artists came to the resort. Tours were arranged on the spot. A class place!

First class resort where the staff are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings with lots of activities and entertainment. Highly recommended.
