My husband and I stayed at the Grande Ocho Rios resort for 7 nights. We had stayed at Sandals Royal Bahamian and loved it so we thought we would try Jamaica this time. Sandals by far outdid themselves in providing all of the details to make our vacation "stress-free." Overall, we loved the Grande Ocho Rios, however in comparison to... more

We had 12 in our group and had a wonderful time. The stay at SANDALS was the BEST. We had the best of both worlds. We stayed at the GRANDE OCHO RIOS BEACH & VILLA RESORT but enjoyed THE DUNNS FALLS RESORT. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?? The FANTASTIC MEALS and the SPECIAL NIGHTS they always have planned for... more

We recently returned from the Sandals Grand in Ocho Rios. It is a very nice hotel. Needs some upgrading, but don't have much to complain about except for the price. We had stayed at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort on the Maya Rivera in Mexico last summer for much less money and actually the food was better there, the accomodations... more

My wife and I spent a week at this resort for our Honeymoon in May 2009 and we stayed in one of the villas on the Manor Side. The accomodations were simply amazing. The staff were very friendly and courteous, and the villas were well stocked and cleaned. The first night there we went to San Generro's and it was... more

Fantastic resort, staff very friendly and nothing was to much trouble, food pretty good, but would say only 4* not 5* star as we had been lead to believe, would highly recommend one of the villas with pool, great for switching off at the end of the day, and taking a dip in privacy. Villa was kept beautifully clean, with... more

I was sort of reluctant on booking this trip because of the bad press it has received. I must say though that you have to expect a different atmosphere and definition of luxury. The island is a 3rd world island. Just driving to Sandals you will see what I am talking about. Also, its a tropical atmosphere so the humidity... more

This was a great spot for vacation however we've traveled quite a bit and was a bit disappointed. Make sure to get the plantation villas....rooms are much nicer... Wished we stayed @ the Dunns River. we loved the Dunn River-the decor, pools, activities. it just had more to offer than Ocho Rios-in our opinoin. Incredible staff and service made this... more

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great time. We wish we could have stayed a few more days, but our schedules did not allow it. The hotel is basically divided into two separate hotels. To access the other, shuttle service is provided. Don’t worry, it’s just across the street and only a couple minute ride door to... more

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios was, by far, the best vacation/Honeymoon my wife and I have been on. The trip cost us roughly seven thousand dollars. This included the round trip direct flight, the awesome butler service, the Romeo and Juliet suite for the honeymooners and the candle light dinner on the beach. The pools were fantastic, the food was phenomenal,... more
