When you are on Sandals, it's fantastic and so relaxing. The food is good, the service is steady, and the views are spectacular. Worth the money. More

Vacation - May 12 to 20, 2012. We have stayed at Sandals and Beaches resorts five other times, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Turks and Caicos island and in Cuba. This was our first visit to this resort and to Ocho Rios. Absolutely breathtaking scenery. The 1-1/2 bus ride from airport to resort is very scenic and our driver gave... More

This is an EXCELLENT resort and we had an AMAZING week there. We found very little we could find fault with. If you want an upscale and varied vacation this is, without doubt, the place to be. The Grande Riviera is a large, private, tropically lush, beautifully maintained and promptly serviced slice of paradise. If you want to enjoy land,... More

Overall, we had a wonderful two weeks. Our room was awesome, mostly because of the balcony. We had Room 4222 which shared a balcony with 3 other rooms. The BEST balcony in the house. Directly above the open bar area of Jaime's and we had free entertainment nightly just below us! The room itself I don't believe had been remodeled.... More

This was our 2nd Sandals trip, the first one we went to Sandals Montego Bay 4 yrs ago and because we had such a wonderful experience, we decided to do another Sandals location for our 2nd wedding anniversary. We were there from 05/12 to 05/20. TRANSPORTATION: Just like the other reviews have mentioned, the resort is quite far from the... More

We had a wonderful experience. This resort is so beautiful. We enjoyed the size of it because there is so many areas to explore and because of the size you are never waiting on a lounge chair by a pool. The food was excellent and we went back to Soy for sushi about 4 times. If you eat at Kiminos... More

We've been to lots of Sandals and this was one of the best. I really liked the smaller areas all over for pools, private sitting areas, and beach. The food was pretty standard Sandals fair - OK with some better than others. The pools and pool bars were nice and not overly crowded. The beach was not real big or... More

We stayed at SGR for our 5th time from April 28th-May 5th. We were already booked for our now 6th trip, but we decided to add this one in earlier and go twice. We obviously love it here. We have been to several Sandals, and it is the only one we repeated. We were also just here in November 2011,... More

We enjoyed our stay at Sandals Grande Riveria Resort. The rooms were always kept clean and neat, the food was always presented beautifully, the staff was always helpful and the entertainment was alot of fun. There are many restaurant choices everyday, morning, noon and evening. Drinks were top shelf. We celebrated our 10th anniversary at the resort and were provided... More
