The view is stunning, the resort beautiful, the rooms exquisite and that's where, unfortunately, it ends. On the plus side, the concierge service we paid extra for was amazing, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, starting our day with a friendly smile and ending our evenings the same way. Housekeeping was efficient if somewhat noising when trying to sleep in, but... More

This was the best vacation of our lives! We only had one issue, but I'll save that for last. AIRPORT TO RESORT: We arrived in Montego Bay on 5/19/12. As soon as you get through customs and immigration, you are ushered into a very nice "club-like" room for Sandals guests only. Here you are welcome to comfy chairs, plenty of... More

I have had a timeshare at this property for 14 years. It has changed hands over the years and used to be a comfortable, one of a kind, employee friendly resort. Unfortunately that has changed as well. It now is the usual tourist resort hotel found in Most Anywhere, USA, with not much special about it. The property is huge... More

Stayed here with 34 friends and family to celebrate a wedding, and everyone had a spectacular time :)! Note: Because I like swimming in the ocean, I am happy that we were put on the ocean side:) Also don't miss out on the dirty bananas at the pool bar, or the coconut shrimp at the grill by the beach!!! -kimonos...

Our 1st time here (and our 1st at any all-inclusive resort) and it was great. May is "rainy season" but the weather was actually pretty good most of the time. The ride from Montego Bay Airport to Ocho Rios takes about an hour and a half (depending on traffic). TIP: bring some money for the shuttle drivers and baggage porters... More

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this resort. We stayed in a villa with a pool in the backyard. The room was hot, so we usually left the back door open to get some air flow in the room. On the third night of our honeymoon, we woke up at 2am in our bed with all the lights... More

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.
