Sandals Dunns River All Inclusive Couples Only

Everyone was so nice, especially Rebbecca-Jane she was the only lady that took the time to talk to me when I was on the beach and was very personable! Also ShanaKay gave me a great massage Thursday and fixed my bad back an I’m going again Sunday, Barthes best treatment at Sandals!!❤️❤️

This was our first time at the Dunns River Sandals location. Our butlers Vivian and Romeo were phenomenal! The food was beyond delicious and our room was spectacular. We absolutely love Sandals and we are always booked 2 years out for our next destination. We love being a part of the Sandals family. While at Dunns River, we admired the grounds and what a delight! The fitness center was top of the line equipment and on the 5th floor overlooking the sea! I can’t say enough about our most recent Sandals vacation. We are hooked on what Sandals has to offer.

We’re halfway through a 10 day stay. The building and grounds are beautiful, definitely a 5 star but service and most meals a 2 star. We are seasoned travels, been doing AI for 20+ years sometimes 3 trips in a year. 3 different counties so several resorts to compare. Granted we do not take advantage of the included water sports at Sandals…. As I said the grounds and buildings are beautiful. It’s a smaller resort. However, pool/beach side drink service is nonexistent, breakfast and lunch are lacking. There is one ala cart and a buffet for breakfast. The buffet is very small in comparison to most resorts more like a lavish state side hotel buffet. The lunch buffet is also small, but decent in choices. The seaside grill/pizza are very slow, we’ve eaten there three times and have never received our meal (sandwiches, wraps, pizza) in under an hour. Dinners have been decent (although Greek was very slow) but no meal has really stuck out. Regardless of what meal, if you order a nonalcoholic drink, dont always count on getting your drink order and with the exception of wine and sometimes water don’t expect a refill. Staff are either very friendly or you get the impression they would rather be anywhere else. It’s more the later, except for entertainment team and dinner staff. The other extras we are used to at other resorts are also missing. And unless you want to get up at 5:30 in the morning (we don’t mind, but most due) you’ll be lucky to get a chair by the pool (or a shade spot on the beach) will be impossible unless you have a butler. In our opinion this is the only perk of a butler at this resort and we’ve had butlers at other resorts but chose to forgo for this trip. It was our first Sandals and will most likely be our last. There are many other AI that are just as lovely with much better service and perks for a lower cost. We’ve talked with 3 other couples who are seasoned travelers as well and all have a similar opinion. We realize everyone is different but we just don’t get all the positive reviews unless others just don’t have other resort chains to compare to?
