Great Service, Poor Quality

JRey Oct 14, 2009

The bathroom in our room was very out dated. The resort was very large. Having to take shuttles to get from one side to the ... other or stairs all the time was not ideal for vacation for me. The service was great except the fact that I never got shampoo/conditioner in my bathroom. I will not be recommending this Sandals resort to friends but I would still go to a different Sandals resort. So far Sandals Royal Carribean is my favorite Sandals resort.

The Hotel was beautiful! the front desk people wer very friendly and helpful. the Bartenders were fantastic and freindly. The ... dining room staff, was slow moving, getting our water glassed filled took forever. Getting our food was slow too. We ate in the buffet rest. most of the time so we wouldn't have to spend 2-3 hours eating every night. I felt there should've been more included with this hotel ie: trip into town, ride to margaritaville, catamaran ride, if you didn't want to go to Dunn's River Falls. etc. Free wi-fi would've been nice too. The food was delicious at every restaurant we went to. Great hotel for younger couples and honeymooners, my husband and I were celebrating our 26th wedding anniv. felt old at the resort. In clonclusion, the resort is beautiful, relaxing and a great value!

Not what we expected at all!

Graff Jul 13, 2009

We were there for our honeymoon and expected the advertised "Luxery Included" vacation. After all, this is Sandals! We were ... placed in a room filled with mosquitos due to a bathroom window that did not have glass, there was a hole in the wall with exposed cables/wires, the a/c unit was uncovered (missing the cover to it), the toilet handle was broken, the bathtub floor was peeled, there was thick caulking arount the sink and bathroom doorframe and the shower head was full of lime or calcium buildup. It was disgusting. We called the front desk but it took them two days to move us to a different room. Once moved, we became even angrier because the new room was beautiful! No reason for ANYONE to stay in a room like that. A motel would have been better.

Would recommend to a friend!

Never traveled out of country prior-so we were a bit nervous. Thought it was too hyped up--but when we arrived...it was ... amazing! Staff was very courteous-atmosphere was laid-back. A truly relaxing vacation. We were NEVER bored, and were busy all day if we chose to be...but relaxed when we wanted as well. Stayed in one of the villas with pool--highly recommend spending a few extra bucks-well worth it! Great privacy, excellent food, fun entertainment-this is a place you will definetly want to stay at least 7 nights in so you can experience all the different entertainment. Definitely go on the Bob Marley booze cruze-Katamaran to the Falls...worth it if you love boats and snorkling. We did the canopy tour-it was fun too. Worth every penny!

Wonderful room in the Manor House cabanas. They were quiet, surrounded by lush vegetation and a lovely little pool. We ... tried one night in the Riviera building with a view of the beach and were kept up for most of the night by loud drinking parties. We were able to transfer to the the cabana for the rest of our stay. Loved the gardens, choice of restaurants and the fabulous service. Staff were great

You WILL enjoy your stay

JerPalaia May 26, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Not a single complaint. We had read many bad reviews about the food and after dining at each of the restaurants at the ... resort, we've concluded that anyone that complains about the food must be used to spreading caviar on their toast every morning because the food was amazing. The best part was the unbelievable first-class service. Virtually every resort employee including the groundskeepers go out of their way to greet you with a smile and many will randomly walk up simply to ask how you're doing and if you're having fun or where you're from, etc. If you want to relax, you have many beach and pool locations from which to choose (even on our 6th day at the resort we found a pool we hadn't previously seen. . . if you want to be active you have many activities from which to choose (sailing, snorkeling, dolphin swimming, booze cruise, volleyball, basketball, group trivia games, etc etc etc). The resort is split into two main parts and a shuttle ride is required to get from one side to the other. . . we had concerns about this but it's no problem at all, mon. the shuttles run every 10 minutes to that's the longest you'll ever wait for one and they have multiple running at all times. and the shuttle ride itself is 3 to 5 minutes and makes 3 different stops. shuttle not a nuisance at all. if you like to have fun, there is absolutely no way you'll leave this resort unsatisfied. Yes, the beach is kind of small, but there are 3 or 4 separate small beach areas from which to choose and honestly they're all big enough.

Not worth the money!!

Tammy Aug 11, 2008

For all the hype about Sandals Resorts, I was quite let down. The eleven restaurants they so proudly boasted about were only ... open at certain times. During the afternoon only two fast dining areas were open on each side of the resort. Both of which had horrible food! Every afternoon the set of the fixings for nachos then claimed to never had the nacho chips!! There was nothing to do in the day except lay in the pool (which was very nice but gets boring after a day or two). All activities were scheduled after 9pm so for those who like to have fun during the day..stay somewhere else. The price was definately not worth the stay at this hotel!

Great couple resort

Jamaine Feb 19, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios exceeded our expectations. This was our first time to this resort and we were very pleased. The ... all inclusive is the way to go. This was our Honeymoon and we stayed in the Romeo and Juliett villa which was very private and we had 24 hr room service. Very Pleased

Good carribean resort

Peter Jun 14, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

This Sandals resort is well organized and provides a good overall carribean experience. The trip from the airport takes about ... 1 1/2 hours but our tour guide was very well versed in the history of the island and his comedic talents blended in very well which made the ride seem much shorter. The hotel is clean and the staff is trained to help you enjoy your stay. It is an all inclusive resort which eliminates the need to worry about meals or drinks. The food was prepared to our taste and the presentation was also done well.We ate somewhere different every night. The beach was a little disappointing but acceptable.The resort is self contained and everything that you need to facilitate a good vacation is on site. I would not reccommend venturing out of the resort grounds by yourself, we got the distinct impression that it could be a little hazardous. Most of the locals we met were very friendly and i would consider going back sometime in the future.

Recreation/Attractions hint

The blue mountain bicycle tour and the Dunns River Falls Catamaran tours were well worth the money and I would do them again.

Shopping hint, Long Walk

When going to the open market please shop around and compare prices. Majority of the shops in Ocho Rios will carry the exact same item for a different prices. Dont be afraid to bargain with the shop owner.

Dining hint, In Hotel

ask your first day if reservations are needed. if not at full capacity, no reservations needed. but you may have a 30 to 60 minute wait for some restaurants. but no problem, mon. just put your name in and then grab multiple drinks at one of the numberous bars while you wait.
