This was our second trip to Jamaica through our travel agents Nancy and Tom Finn at www.myislandgetaways.com and as always they knew exactly what we were looking for. We had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and spent a lot of time on the beach. Deep sea fishing with Lipton and his son was exciting and we also enjoyed... More

We enjoyed a relaxing trip from Feb 1-8th. One issue was the number of stairs that are all over this resort. Upon checking in we were taken to a villa, that had about 30 stairs. Too many stairs for a person with mobility issues. We asked to go back to the main desk, and they switched us to a villa... More

We travelled to Ocho Rios Grande Riviera for one week from November 5th to the 12th, 2011. We were a group of 11 people. My friends had recently married and invited a group of friends to join them on their honeymoon. This was my 3rd trip to Ocho Rios and the most expensive of all my travels. I must first... More

Too much hype for this resort, food was GREAT, but activities lacked for an all inclusive as we have had better. Many guests did not get the room that they booked and restaurants only booked reservation at 2 of the restaurants, but the was always empty seats. Go figure! More

We were in a "luxury room" (lower priced) in the Seaside Resort, the size was very adequate. It was slightly larger than a standard King Size Bed Hilton Garden Inn... More

Just landed this morning after 7 days in Ocho Rios. The Grande Riviera gives you the advantage of two resorts in one. Lots of pools, bars and long beaches to enjoy. Some things to take into account with any Sandals. 1. Take some tipping money! The golf caddies, transport drivers (to airport and into town), catamaran tours and the spa... More

This was our first tropical vacation and there was very few disappointments. We arrived at midnight and clearing customs with 250 other travellers and only 3 custom agents was the most frustrating it took forever and it was very hot and muggy in our Canada clothing. We were expecting the long drive we made no stops as nothing was open... More
